#emojidescription

Love this! Explanation in comments 👇🏻❤️

JenlovesJT47 I recently got married and we are expecting a baby boy in April 💙, I am the proud cat mama of Chipper, Scarlett, Nala, Marnie and Maverick😻, I can't go outside without sunglasses or I can't see! It's my trademark 😉. I work at home as a medical transcriptionist and type on the computer all day, I have some health problems that keep me from doing what I want, I'm a huge fan of movies, especially old Hollywood classics, TBC 👇🏻 7y
JenlovesJT47 I'm a huge baseball fan, go Braves! (and Rays!) I'm a taco fiend, and burgers and fries are a major pregnancy craving, I live in sunny Florida, I'm getting so big these days (7 weeks to go!) that I feel like a cow/pig 😅, I feel like nobody ever listens to me 😒, I love to write and hope to be a professional writer someday. Also love photography. Last but not least I'm a huge nerd in general and an even bigger book nerd/book lover. 💚 7y
Kaye I‘d listen to you. I might be quite the Yakker, but I‘m also a good listener. Hang in there. Those last few weeks of pregnancy can get pretty irritating. I hope it doesn‘t get too hot down there beforehand. Hot weather makes it even more uncomfortable. 😓 7y

JenlovesJT47 @Kaye thank you! 🤗💚I know my Litsy fam would be different. Most of us are introverts and have perfected the art of listening (maybe that's why everyone comes to me with their problems!🤔), but I swear, my whole life I feel like I'm talking to myself 90% of the time. It's very frustrating! 😤I know I don't talk very loud but still...sigh. And yes, hopefully the weather holds out! It's nice right now but I'm hoping we don't get a heat wave! 😧 7y
Kaye Maybe you need to talk louder especially if it‘s something that needs said, so the person with 👂 ears will hear you. I find that my husband tends to drift off while I‘m talking sometimes. I guess I don‘t blame him. After knowing each other for 47 years, he tunes me out , as I probably do to him at times. I like springing a question on him when he‘s not paying attention. I get a chuckle out of his “deer in the headlights” look. 😁 7y
JenlovesJT47 @Kaye lol at the last part 😂 I've been there many times with my hubby! Honestly I sometimes can be standing in front of someone waving my hands in their face because I know they're not listening to me and it still takes me a bit to get their attention. 😒 Sigh. 7y
BookishMe @JenlovesJT47 I am kinda proud I managed to decipher your emojis up to the cats and guessed you worked a lot with computers ;p Emojis remain a foreign language I dabble in and can't quite communicate as fluently as others ;D and - WOW! April is fast approaching... So exciting for you!! 7y
JenlovesJT47 @BookishMe good job! Emojis are taking over everything these days lol, you'll get the hang of it. ☺️ And thank you! I can't believe I only have 7 weeks to go!! 😳🤗💚 7y
BookishMe @JenlovesJT47 all the Best! It won't be easy but will be so so worth it. Hope we still get to see a bit of you during your babymoon (though you should be resting all you can! 💖😘💗) 7y
JenlovesJT47 @BookishMe thank you!! 🤗 knowing me I'll still be scrolling Litsy on a regular basis. I don't know what I'd do without my Litsy fam! 💚 7y

Litsy successfully added another app to my phone. I had to download #bitmoji today and see what all this fun is about. After playing with it for a little while, here's what I've got! Slightly disappointed that both of the book carrying ones look a little sad. However, that towering stack is kind of what I feel like I'm currently reading. 📚

I've also saved a bunch of these to email to myself at work. I will use these with great enthusiasm in correspondence with coworkers. 😂

Pictured is our daughter's emoji response to an emoji text I received from my husband.
At the book store today my daughter spotted How to Speak emoji while I was being rung up and I decided, "Why not?" Now maybe I can read this text! ?

Laalaleighh Does this have something to do with school? Is she at college? I'm just attempting to guess without any context here. 8y
Peddler410 @Laalaleighh No, she's 7. My husband used two emoji in a text to be silly and then our daughter decided to respond. My sister and her boyfriend do speak in emojis -- she claims it's quicker. That started this all. 8y
Laalaleighh Hahaha. I was wayyyyyy off. My bf and I text in emoji sometimes. But idk how you have entire conversations in it. 8y
