Blackberry/Crackberry

Okay - so I wanted/needed a new cell phone....I am very abusive to all cell phones so I can run through them pretty quickly. I have a plan that includes internet so I wanted a phone that would utilize that option more efficiently than my previous phone. I am also a texter so a full type pad was a must.

***I went with the Blackberry***

Ummmmmmm - I guess I should have asked for opinions first b/c I didn't realize how addicting this thing was going to be! I am forever on the little guy.

I went from rarely looking at, much less updating, my facebook to now being on constantly. I will upload a photo in a hot minute. It's too funny!!

I never would have imagined that I would pick up my cell phone to see what I can do with any spare second that I come across. It's a trip.

I had heard it called the Crackberry before - and now I know why.

Anyone else addicted?

Much love, Em

My name is Emily Files & I'm addicted to reality shows

Okay, so earlier this week I mentioned I am a reality show junkie and I'm starting to think I may have some real issues!!

Example: I'm in love with this STUPID, RIDICULOUS show - I'm a Celebrity, Get Me Out of Here. Why, oh why, did I sit infront of the TV for 2 hours last night (and the night before) and watch this show? Not to mention the time I spent watching So You Think You Can Dance.....and the additional time I invested in RW/RR Challenge, The Duel. Luckily for me - and my family - I use the DVR so the hours are minimized and I watched the latter two into the AM. (watching reality into the AM could be an additional mark against me!)

Another example: Last night one of my besties who lives in Memphis (my sweet Melissa) texted to ask if I had watched DOL yesterday. And with that, what was the first thing that popped into my mind??? Daisy Of Love - that's right.......Daisy Of Love - not Days Of Our Lives......the show she was actually referring to! Days of Our Lives has been a staple in my life for as long as I can remember. I mean when Belle and Shawn Douglas broke up the first time and he was with MeMe I thought I would just D.I.E. and then when Shawn and MeMe broke up....you guessed it - same reaction. I get super attached to to my extended family in Salem! So when my sweet Melissa asks me if I saw DOL I disrespected my beloved Days of Our Lives with a trashy reality show......
I think it may be time for an intervention!!!

Ummmm....but can it wait until the season finale of The Duel on next Wednesday!!

Love to all today and the next.....Em

Boat Ride

Beautiful Logan Martin sunset


Talan - he thinks he has abs!



Naomi enjoying the boat ride.....I think! :)

Mommy and her princess, Naomi

We decided to go to the lake on Sunday for a boat ride. My mom wanted us to bring Naomi so we did. This was her first trip to the lake and I think she enjoyed it! Well - except for the part when I tricked her into getting into the water....she wasn't so happy about that!!

Anyway - we had a fun couple of hours on the water. We usually go to the lake and hang out with family and friends so it was nice to go up just for a boat ride!

Television

woo-hoo....FINALLY!! Army Wives is back baby!!

Season 3 begins Sunday @9pm!!

I can't wait to see where Emmalyn has run off too - and what will happen when Joan is deployed to Iraq! I'm excited about e.v.e.r.y.t.h.i.n.g single thing!!

I love to watch TV - but mainly reality tv. I do have some tv-tv that I love to watch though, and Army Wives is one of them!! Grey's Anatomy is gone until next season so I'm even more excited about the new season of Army Wives!!

Here is a list of some of the shows I love:

• Deadliest Catch (not the typical reality show)
• TMZ
• Daisy Of Love
• RR/RW challenge - The Duel
• So You Think You Can Dance
• The Hills (sad to see LC leave!)
• Jon & Kate plus 8
• Days of Our Lives
• Charm School
• Real World

What shows do you love? Do you have the same guilty pleasure as I do = REALITY tv?

Okay sorry for rambling.....ofcourse I am just apologizing to myself b/c no one actually reads this stuff!! lol - I know....my blog is not so hot! haha

Love to all! E-dogg

Blog? Sure, why not?!

~RANDOMNESS~

What's up? I hope everyone had a nice Mother's Day! (and if you aren't a mother, I hope you had a nice Sunday!) I had a great day visiting with my mom and Me-Me at the lake along with my aunt, uncle and cousins - oh and my precious Granddaddy!! It was a rainy but wonderful day!

Once that visit was over, we headed to the hospital to visit my other grandmother who had a fall last week. She is recovering well - and we had a great time hanging with her. She is so funny to me!! We laughed and laughed!! My step-daddy is so much like his mom and it's a trip!!!

I haven't seen my sister since March so I missed her on Mother's Day this year. I'm hoping to go down to see her soon. (She lives in Gulf Shores!) I haven't gotten to see my nephew, Cam, play baseball - ever - so once Talan's season is over, I am anxious to drive down for a game.

Also, I have 3 little brothers: Jason is graduating UAB this year and David & Steven are graduating high school. I cannot believe how quickly the time has gone by. Tyler starts junior high next school year and Talan will start middle school. Holy Smokes!! Oh - and my niece will be getting her driver's permit - WHAT?????

Geez....I can't believe it, but I can't stop it!
Love and Blessings to all!!
