What size snowboard do you use? Is it close to what is recommended at the snowboard sizing calculator? http://www.frostyrider.com/tips/size-guide.htm
It is pretty right on for me :) I am 5'9" and 195 pounds and I ride a 159cm Burton Custom.

Currently I ride a 152 Tara Dakides (I know a girl board) and I am 130 lbs and 5' 7". Its starting to get a little small on me so I think it may be time to move up.

Even for your size that size board is more of a trick board than a board you would use everyday.
A 159 like I ride might be a little long for you and at 130 pounds I don't know if you'd have the strength to pull that around but bumping up to a 155 or 156 would not be a bad idea.
I can ride a 156 with no problem and am a lot bigger and heaver than you are.

I like to ride a shorter board and that site always over estimates my board size.
I used http://www.snowboardsizing.org
It has more info on the other factors you should consider when choosing a snowboard type and size.

I ride a 156cm snowboard and im 6ft 190lbs, I've rode a lot of boards but like the smaller sizes. That site always gave me lengths that were too long for they type of riding and terrain I was on.
A better site to use is http://www.snowboardsizing.org
