Yeah, the title of this blog post makes me a little ill too. Oh well. What's done is done.
Moving on...
So there I was reading the highly intellectual, of the moment magazine, Glamour. I came to a page that states, "Is your body normal?" (July 2008, p.98)
So of course I took a peek.
It states:
The average woman's bra size is: 36C
Nope. Apparently I am both above average (band) and below average (cup).
The average height of an American woman: 5'4"
Which makes me an amazon, and makes Holly and CamiKaos deliriously happy.
The average woman's shoe size: 8
So close! I am a 8 1/2!
The average weight, in pounds of a woman in her thirties: 163
Again, nope. But not horribly far off.
So now I'm sure you are wondering, "Missburrows, what, if anything, is your point here?"
My point? You want to hear my point? Ok, here goes. All of the above is certainly interesting, but if we continue to compare ourselves to others, we lose sight of who we are and what we are made of.
I don't want to be average and I bet you don't either.

You're anything but average dear friend...
Great post! And on a day I really needed to hear that. Thank you.
excellent point! Just what this amazon needed to remember. :-)
Sigh. I'm below average....(barely on some points)
I most assuredly do not want to be average. Nor am I. Yay for us not average women!
you see this is why i don't read glamour.
wait. not only am i decently heighted, i am FOR THE FIRST TIME EVER, under the average weight! i am EXACTLY average in bra size (down from 40DD!
shoes? oh they're big. this is where i race to your point. nice one. you rock!
Short with big feet...
Looks like I am too tall and a bit heavy to be an average woman. Phew, dodged that bullet.

cami: Awww. Did I ever tell you that in second grade, another student turned to me and said, "Your weird." I said, "Thank you."
lilac: YOU ARE AWESOME and WE LOVE YOU!
groovy: Feel free to remind me when I start to lose sight of it.
leendaluu: I'm sure you are lovely.
mielikki: Hell yeah!
holly: Couldn't of done it without you holly hottie.
dapoppins: And beautiful.
stu: Glad I could clear that up for you.
I love this Miss B, and I am so NOT average and yet so perfect. Sighhhhh. ;)
But I am deliriously happy, regardless.
And I love the title of your post, though I'm kinda geeky that way.
OK so now I have a complex. According to Glamour I'm shorter, have smaller feet, bigger boobs and about right on the weight. Are you surprised I can stay upright? What with the top heavyness and the little feet to balance on.
I'm off on every point as well. I only go with the crowd if it's going in my direction. :)
jo: practically perfect in every way!
stephanie: that just makes me like you even more
lindy: are you really Barbie? I hear her proportions would make her topple over.
bee: there ya go! Wait, where are you going? Can I go? Please?!
