I got it from my mama

My lilliputian stature (She's 4'10'' and I'm 4'11'' -- so all you 5'3''-ers who think you're short can just stop right now).

My laugh.

My temper.

My dry skin issues.

My tendency to raise my voice to its ultimate decibel level when I'm [drunk] in a big group of people.

My flair for the dramatic.

My devotion to my friends.

My appreciation for footwear.

My compulsion to go straight for the sales rack in any store.

All my best qualities, all my worst qualities, and everything in between.

**

Happy Mother's Day to my mama and yours!
