Sharing...

Hmmmm, that's what the blogosphere is about, eh? It's about getting our thoughts out on the screen. Well, the most important thing that has happened this week thus far is A) my Mum's glucose test came back negative for diabetes and B) her scans for her thyroid cancer came back clear for the first time in three years as well as her bloodwork. So double yay!!!!!!!!!!!! That is a huge relief for me to know that my mama is going to be okay:)

While reading one of my fave blogs, Landlocked Mermaid, today, I realized that all people have things that bother them. They seem like HUMONGOUS things to us when others don't even notice....

So, I thought I'd share a couple of tidbits about myself. One, as a young girl and teenager, I would NEVER wear sandals and was so grateful during the sandals and socks trend. I have long, skinny toes. I don't have the second toe that is longer than my big toe. I have three toes (big, second, and third) that are pretty much the same length. So, I have three toes in a row. Ha! And another thing is I have a "beauty mark" on the side of my foot...I always hated my freakishly long toes and said mark, but in all reality who really pays that much attention to my feet. Once I hit college, I wear sandals sans socks proudly:)

And something else, that I feel the whole world stares at, but in all reality doesn't even notice, are my ear buttons. When I was a small child, I had lots of ear infections which lead to having tubes put in. One of my tubes came out late which left a hole in my eardrum, and the tubes left my other eardrum pretty weak and thin. So, needless to say, I've had several surgeries on both ears. While the scars behind my ears from removing tissue to help in repairing my eardrums is not noticeable, I feel that my right button is forever noticeable. When I was a teenager, my second to last surgery did not take. There wasn't any more tissue to take from behind my ears; so, the other option was to use part of my ear button. So, my last surgery repairing my right eardrum was made possible by my right ear button. It's shorter than the left one, but over time, I've learned to live with it. It's something minute when compared to other's problems. Although, sometimes, I'm still that awkward teenager staring out the window wishing she could be in gym or on break with her classmates but cannot because after ear surgery you can't do any physical action for six weeks. So, there I would sit against the window staring out at my peers through the dusty glass....
