Anyone who knows me know that I have addiction problems. Hello, my name is Amy and I am addicted to:
1. Sonic's Diet Cherry Coke - I keep going back even though the service is terrible and every time I say to myself, "this is the last one, I promise, I can quit anytime"
2. Shoes - not only for me. I have bought The Boss probably 12+ pairs of shoes in her short life (most of them were on clearance for $1.25). Now ask me if The Boss will wear shoes for more that 20 seconds? No, thanks for asking, she won't. In fact, she usually has the first shoe off before I can get the second one on.
3. Well, you get the point, I don't want to go into all my vices, let's be honest it's embarrassing.
So to add to my addictions I have acquired a blackberry cellphone. If you own a blackberry you probably know what I am talking about, if you are married to someone who owns a blackberry you know what I am talking about, if you don't I shall try to explain. Imagine, if you will, realizing that everything you thought was important really isn't and all that is important in this world can be displayed on a tiny 1.5"x2" screen. Now you might think that this is not possible, how can an other wise sensible person become so obsessed over a phone? In the first place, I was never sensible and in the second - it's crack baby, crack.
I can quit anytime I want to. I just don't want to. . .

Hi, my name is Billie. I'm your sister. I'm addicted to Sonic diet Coke, too. But instead of promising to quit, I just complain to you and Mom (also an addict). I have seen the light, and it is the Sonic drive thru.
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Karen. I'm your sister-in-law. I haven't tried the Sonic Diet Cherry Coke (which I will be doing first thing tomorrow) but I am a diet coke addict and I cannot live without my Crack-berry!!!!!! I must say as a Crack-berry addict I have been able to make lots of people (co-workers) think that I am in a office when really I am out shopping, picking up children, having my hair done, and feeding my diet coke addiction. So there you have it, don't feel like you are the only one. And I am loving every second of it.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I know use whomever is in the passenger seat of the car to do all my e-mail responses instead of pulling over. It saves so much time and energy.
Hi, my name is Tina and too am a Sonic cherry diet coke addict. It doesn't help that my children are enablers and give me a Sonic gift card for my birthday. (but very much appreciated!) And speaking of blackberry's - now Matt has one too! Will the family addictions ever end?
ReplyDeleteI agree, technology is additicting and the faster we can get our emails or pictures in the middle of nowhere is only going to make the Addiction worse. I try to have days where I put my itouch down but I constantly check my emails, blogs, bank, and bills. Also living in Dr. Pepper land dosent help that addiction.
ReplyDeleteWow, thanks for the support guys. Really, honestly, who needs a bishop when you have a blog to confess your sins to? You all made me feel down right good to be a sinner! And, yes, mom everyone else is doing it!
ReplyDeleteAgain-as I contemplate passing the torch to the next generation, I go blank. Actually more like stunned. However, realizing you take the good with the bad-isn't there fruit in the Sonics add on syrup? No? And I after I attended a marriage class last year at Ed Wk (YUP-41 yrs. I need it), he did say way too many couples come in because of friction from blackberry's and their place on nightstands-or in bed. So my pass-on advice that comes from Brent Barlow, head of the Marriage Institute at BYU. Put them nighty night away from you ears. What'cha think?
ReplyDeletewow Mom, always looking for a chance to throw down a parental lecture. I have two reasons why my blackberry stays downstairs. 1. If it is on my nightstand, I will forget it when I leave for work. 2. I can't stand the thing making noise when I am trying to go to sleep. I love getting and tracking my emails, but sleep it to precious for me these days.
