Help Email Shortcut

[i3igi3yrd]

This is going to sound odd, but I am trying to make a shortcut on my homescreen to email myself. This seems simple, but it looks like whenever I put a contact in my address book with ANY of my email addresses, it isn't available to be used for a shortcut. Try this and tell me that I'm not going crazy. ...but please TRY it before you post the instructions.
I say this because I got my boss to try it and he thought I was being a smartass until he tried to do it.

A shortcut to email to myself is really helpful for tracking things and is like a to do list for me. This would be really helpful.

Why don't you just use an app designed for "tracking things or to do list" like Astrid Task/ToDo List? Make your life simple.

You can use Google Voice Search and say "note to self....[then whatever]" and it will email the note you have dictated to yourself...
