How many unread emails do you have? Tell me and you could win!

I'm linking up with E Tells Tales and giving you a list of ten things that's on my mind. Why? Because I love E. She's awesome.
me all emo about my inbox


1.
 Mr. Branflake bought me photoshop elements for Christmas. You know what's sadder than sad? I have no clue how to use it. I feel like my grandfather on the computer. My grandfather has never used a computer before.


2.
 That's not true. He did once go to the DMV to renew his license and because it's all now electronic he just kept touching the screen hoping it would do something. 
He then gave up and left. Broke my heart.


3.
 I have this issue when I go on my walks my elbows hurt like crazy. I mean, I'm not speed walking or anything. Just a nice hour or two of strolling through my neighborhood. But they hurt so bad! Thoughts?


4.
This weekend I am going to be baking. 
Expect photos of things that don't look very good but taste amazing.


5.
 I just started rehearsing for a show. It's exciting to be dancing with the most talented dancers I know.


6.
 I am oddly inspired by this Eleanor Roosevelt quote:
Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you'll be criticized anyway.


7.
 I think I have a tapeworm. I bought an In-n-out Burger and was too full to finish it (I usually can eat two.) I threw half of the burger and half of the fries away. I just felt too nauseous.



8.
 Last night I turned down three offers to hang out with friends because I'm still not feeling well. This tapeworm has got to go! Okay, I don't know if it's a tapeworm but that's what my friend, Paul, diagnosed on Facebook. Thanks, Paul, for freaking me out!


9.
 Dancing Branflake now has a Facebook page.
(top right button on the sidebar is a link)


10.
 I am embarrassed to tell you how many unread emails are in my inbox. I will bet you no one reading this blog has as many as me. Whoever has more than me I will give a box of Trader Joe Cookies. I'm not kidding. Tell me in the comments and if you beat me then I will send you something because you obviously need it more than I.




Are you an inbox junkie? 
Do tell!

Have you been eating healthier? Maybe you can't just take the grease. Congrats on the show!

Cara said...

Currently I am holding steady @ 350

Hollie said...

I can't stand having unread emails! I have a clean inbox! haha Voicemails are another story. I don't ever check them. I probably have a hundred of them.

rosebud101 said...

I have 162 unread emails. I just cleaned out my inbox last week.

Patricia Villamil said...

I loved this post. Confession: I once had 430 emails unanswered (the most ever at a time). Advice: For your tapeworm, go to CVS and ask the pharmacist for an over the counter dewormer! And what a great quote and so true!! Have a nice weekend!

Brhea {NoPlaceLykeHome} said...

I have a problem with not deleting spam and random emails from stores. I honestly think my inbox has over 1200 "unread" but nothing of importance :)

Elements is difficult to learn - I hear ya!

rolala said...

You have me beat! I'm one of those crazy anal people who can't stand to have unread emails cause I like my inbox to be clear. Now unanswered emails is another story... There's tapeworm medicine if you really think that's what you have.

FriponneClassique said...

I don't usually have any. It bugs me so much to see that something is unread!!

H+B Jackson said...

I have 86 right now, but every few days I just hit "delete unread" cuz If I haven't read them yet, I never will. BUT Mr J has 1,931 unread emails. Drives me bonkers. Does he win?!

I used to have an empty inbox. Everything got put in a label on gmail and out of my inbox. life was great

Natasha and Jesse said...

I love this post. Sadly I have 20,712 emails unread :P I know that's bad but most of them are junk mail that I just haven't had the time to scroll through and delete.

Hopefully you start to feel better from the "tapeworm"!

Cafe Fashionista said...

I actually have 9 e-mail inboxes that I (attempt) to check on a daily basis. They are all linked to different things - school, blog, work, etc. Sometimes I feel crazed by the amount of e-mail that filters in each day! :P

Anna said...

34 unread messages. :) do I win for the least amount?
If you don't start feeling better soon, it can't hurt to get checked out... Has your husband felt any similar symptoms?

Krysten @ Why Girls Are Weird said...

Clean inbox for me! I can't deal with unread emails!

Katie said...

^ What blonde duck said up there--she might be on to something. Visit the doctor if you continue to feel awful! Greasy food (even delicious greasy food) can be troublesome to the gallbladder.

As for emails, I'm much more organized with my inbox than with anything else in my life. I have fewer than ten unread emails.

Megan said...

ok so they arnt "unread" but i have 20,859 read e mails in my inbox that i dont delete..

its a problem. im an e mail hoarder.

Dancing Branflake said...

My gallbladder! I bet it's that! Thanks, guys!

fancyfunction said...

Oh man - I'm too anal and clean out my inbox every morning! I'm sure you don't have a tapeworm - although sometimes I self-diagnose that I have one too, and I've never been right! :-)

Caitlin said...

Firstly I have no unread emails. Boom. Secondly....is tapeworm code for baby?

Punctuation Mark said...

you can imagine mine after this week... this catching up thing is taking so much of my time and i'm still super tired from the red eye... never taking it again!!! hope you have a great weekend!

Olya said...

4824 at 10:40 am, I'm sure it's by a couple more now. Twitted you the pic. And that's after taking care of over 1000 yesterday. I need an assistant. Do you need my address for the cookies?

Olya said...

scratch the first post! 11 min later main inbox 5306 @ 10:51 am, blog - 486. and WHY noone enters a giveaway?! but send emails instead?!
I need your cookies!
PS emailed you too. I'll keep up with "flood the email box" crowd.

Violet Tinder said...

2,313!!
And I love that Eleanor Roosevelt quote too- forget naysayers... they don't have any fun anyway!
xoxo

Sandy a la Mode said...

hahaa i am at 497 for my work email! i'm definitely not going to be checking that until i get back to work in march, by then, who knows how big it will be!!

Chrissy said...

0 unread emails in my inbox...can't stand it! haha
Love that quote, it's beautiful!
Hope you feel better soon!
Happy baking! xxx

kimbirdy said...

i have 780 unread emails and they are NOT junk emails. these are 780 emails sent by loved ones, co-workers, and bills. sigh...

SabinePsynopsis said...

I just delete them ALL! Headache solved :)

YESSS to #6!

I bet tapeworms would love to live with you, Tiffany. Don't let them!

About Last Weekend said...

I have none - have to read them all even to keep the kids going through the day!

drollgirl said...

well i am freaking out at the mention of TAPEWORM! ew ew ew! hope you will be ok!!! and soon! wonder if you might be, um, YOU KNOW! :)

unopen emails?! never. i check them constantly. sometimes i mark them as "Unread" just because they are important and i need to get back to them soon!

i don't know how to use photoshop very well. i have had a copy at work for about a month, and i am SUPPOSED to be learning how to use it, but our IT dude hasn't even installed it yet. i have signed up for on-line lessons w/lynda.com. i think it is $29 a month, and you can cancel when you want. pretty reasonable -- although i really wanted to take a hard core class to learn it while i was AWAY from work. oh well!

LenoreNeverM♡re said...

Please no whatever-worms, Tiffany!
i have work+personal+blog email accts~ never ending correspondence~DANG!
Enjoy cooking this weekend!

Rebecca said...

Just my main email is 15886 unread... I know I'm awful but it's what I use for just about all the sign ups and I have a ton of web accounts. If you added up all 8 of my email accounts it would be worse!

H+B Jackson said...

Well you inspired me/motivated/reminded me of my beautiful clean organized inbox. I now have 2 emails in my inbox. I have 3,000+ labeled and stored for that time when I desperately need them!

OH and a ton of the emails I had to go through were from you lady! It has been exactly 1 year since I last cleaned out my email. Can you believe we were in sac over a year ago!?

THE ALTERNATIVE WIFE said...

Haha I have too many to name!!! I have 74 on my mail email and I haven't even checked my blog one in days! How horrible is that???

Oh and you're not alone. J bought me photoshop elements for xmas and i just can't figure it out. It frustrates me so!

Have a great weekend, sweetie! xoxo

Wander.Lust said...

I love that quote at #6. I have about 170 unread emails in my inbox, haha must of them from shopping sites.

enjoy the weekend!

Ann said...

What a cool and honest post...

You've got me thinking about tapeworms, and gosh I don't like worms... Me thinks I have more than 300 unread emails to date... Oh I'm too busy this past few weeks.

Tabitha said...

None, I"m really OCD about that!
