Forgot to mention...

...I read lips.



Let me explain. When I was a little girl I suffered from two major ear infections. leaving me with some hearing loss. After a few years of working in a clothing manufacturing facility, the humm of the machines didn't help much. Over the years I have learned to compensate for this loss by reading lips. I don't even realize I am doing it until after I leave a meeting, or an event. Generally I do it if I am in a noisy place like church, the mall, a restaurant, or if my kids are being loud. I always feel so embarassed because I should be making "eye contact".

    I must say that I am so jealous!

    Someone at church was mouthing something to me from across the room and I had NO IDEA what she was saying, so she had to come and ask me.

    Man, I wish I could read lips! :)

  5. That is so cool that you can read lips though!! I have tried to so many times to be able to acquire that skill - especially while working in NYC. I would try to see what people were saying while I was on the subway, or the bus or in restaurants!! :) My husband would laugh at me when I tried!! LOL
    I love your blog!!
