Wordful Wednesday- A confession...

I am in love with my cell phone. I love texting, receiving texts is even better.

But who doesn't love that?


That's not my confession though ... what I am confessing is really more humiliating. What I love most is picture mail. Not because I take important pictures because I don't. I mean I don't with my camera phone that is.

When I am out alone and need an opinion I can take pictures of myself in the said items and send them out for opinions. I admit to being in fitting rooms and other mirrors doing just this. I even crashed my whole cell phone doing this. They actually had to redownload the software at verizon (not enough memory for my antics apparently). So inspired by that fiasco, I bought a memory card for my phone. Because this new technology and me we're here to stay. Thank you to my girlfriends who dutifully sit by their cell phones and respond. Oh and they send me picture mail too, for opinions, on their sunglasses, jeans, and other important purchases. It's almost like being with people when your shopping, never alone.

I needed to exchange my sunglasses...
The above sunglasses were left behind...
I did exchange my glasses for these ones...

I also like to use picture mail to send funny texts like this on... because the girls in granny glasses seemed funny at the time.
Then you might recognize this one (its been posted before)... I don't own a pair of crocs and needed to show an example of them on. I happened to see these at the rack. Yep that's me in my jeans and green crocs! I have tried them on and felt the comfort (must have to walk in them to feel it though and they were tied together). I sent that picture text out to my sisters too. They were shocked.

I sent this one to get a laugh out of my sister in law. I knew she would be missing this view at the gym. I think I must have been delirous from too much gym time. Although those walls and those views are something I spend a lot of time staring at.

Add Image
Oh and thus far I have resisted adding email to my phone. I spend way too much time checking my email as it is. I just don't trust myself.

LOL..I've done that w/ my cell phone too! I needed to buy my son a shirt, so I took pictures and text'd him to see if he liked it!!

Hootin Anni said...

I just came from outdoors with my cellphone...taking pictures of the moon for goodness sake. LOL Modern technology is super!!!


My W W is now published. I hope you can stop by sometime if you find time. It's a YOU TUBE I made of slides on a walking tour I took my husband on this past Saturday. If you have speakers, turn up the volume...some good music was added! Happy Wednesday!

Kelly said...

I do it too and I do NOT enjoy crocs.

Shannon said...

I don't ever send photos from my phone because it is such a pain! If someone sends me a photo on my iPhone, I have to go to the internet and put in a login and password and wait for it to download. Stinks! THere has to be a better, less time consuming way to do it because I LOVE your addiction. Oh and I love your new glasses!

Becca said...

I am guilty of fitting room pictures too!

annies home said...

thanks for sharing your world of texting let me tell you a story if you will my daughter and her now husband dated long distance and they texted all the time. They nicknamed them the fastest texters of the west because they became so good at it their fingers seemed to fly LOL

Emily said...

haha...I do that too. It never hurts to get a second opinion! I like the glasses and the necklace you're wearing too.

Susan Anderson said...

And herein lies the generation gap. I don't even know how to work the camera on my phone!

Mike and Shelby said...

so far, I haven't become addicted to the photos...or texting yet. But I am constantly finding my girls with my camera phone. Talk about annoying, and scary pictures!

At least your pictures are cute!

Robin said...

How funny. I'm such a dinosaur - my phone doesn't even have a camera on it, let alone the ability to send photos out to all and sundry. I'm definitely missing out.

Lori of I'm no super Mom said...

I must say I am guilty too!

Betty said...

lol! OMG! I love those glasses.

Our family chaos said...

LOL.LOL> I love this crazy addiction we have. It is amazing to have such wonderful ways to communicate. I do realize we need help. You are a very brave woman to admit this confession. I hope Alan isn't reading this so he knows how crazy we actually are when it comes to shopping:)

Crazymamaof6 said...

awesome! i've done the same thing with outfits.
sometimes you need better opinions that little kids can give.

OK love the email on cell phone thing. i check it on my way home from somewhere, so when i walk in the house i don't make a beeline to the computer to check email.
it's fabulous.

long line at sonic? email.
car pool pick up? email.
laying in bed? email.
RAD!

Natalie said...

That is awesome! Now I'm going to be mad that I don't have a camera phone and am missing out on great advice! Those glasses are so perfect on you!

I am Arizona; a person, not a place. said...

That's exactly why I don't get an iPhone! lol! I'd always be on something...texting, sending photos, emailing, geocaching...you name it! It sounds SO fun, though. I like your sunglasses, btw!!

Are You Serious! said...

♥ That would be a very handy thing to have! There have been so many times that I've wanted to ask an opinion while I was alone and this would be perfect!!! Someday!!! :)

Casey's trio said...

This post is hilarious...I'm a texter but haven't been sucked in by picture mail yet!!

Sara said...

I am so behind... I did not know you could even take pictures that great on a phone let alone send them speedily to another. Thanks for confessing (sharing!) this habit. Hmmm... I might need to upgrade my phone soon. :)

girlytwins said...

Too funny. That is my gripe about the iphone. Not easy to send and receive picture mail. I used to use my old phone all the time for this type of fun :)

I would love to be on the receiving end of these pic texts LOL They are very entertaining.

Stephanie said...

Oh, I'm so jealous....The Rack right down the street and you get to go shopping! My Rack is about 45 min. away, and I can never go with the kids....shopping with them just doesn't happen! Great idea with the "addiction"! I always want another opinion :)

Heather Anderson said...

Too FUNNY! I have to admit I never thought to do that... but maybe I will have to try it;)

Claremont First Ward said...

I LOVE that you use this option. Sending me those pictures of the jeans was brillianT!

Claremont First Ward said...

I have email on my phone and I love it. I've set it though to only retrieve my mail every 2 hours.

I don't wear crocs. Ever. Wait. That's not true. I have a pair of croc flip flops. THey are not the cutest on, but they are comfortable. I wear them when I have to walk around a lot but I want to wear thongs. My twins used to have a pair of crocs. THey wore them out. I don't particularly like them.......just the ease of wear. I also love that I could throw them in the washing machine to clean them.

I'm going to figure out how to send pictures on my phone this weekend! :)

I think if I saw you in a pair of crocs for real I'd drop dead. :)
