Nothing Worse Than A Frustrated Beast.....

The Beast spent most of the day trying to get the pictures from the anniversary party to show up right on the chip he intended to give to the son of the couple that had the 50th wedding anniversary party.  He was cussing and swearing over it all because the pictures were all coming out dark.  He finally got one of his chips to accept the downloads correctly.  Turns out he needs to replace those other chips.  He tried taking pictures with them and discovered they were showing dark pictures.  He was sure it was Photo Shop doing it but it wasn't.  I'm just glad it wasn't his big chip that he normally uses in his camera.  That one was expensive.  The others are smaller GB's and a lot less expensive to replace.

But all day long he was in and out of my computer room to tell me about his problems and it was really irritating.  *I* had no idea what the hell was wrong nor any suggestions about how to correct it.  I DID, however, give him the idea that the chips might be bad ones.  I know he's had them for many years now.  They apparently have a *lifetime* and only so many times things can be erased and reused.  If I sent him on the right path to discovering the problem, I'm glad.  He stopped all his comings and goings.  LOL!  

I took a nap after dinner (New England clam chowder and fresh Italian bread that he had sliced at the bakery) and it ended up being for four hours!  I was shocked.  I had no idea I was that tired.  Especially since I really didn't do a whole lot today except make us lunch and clean out the fridge a bit.  That's not labor intensive but a pain in the butt.

I've been watching a lot of cooking shows on TV lately.  I shouldn't because so much of it makes m hungry...LOL.  But I've gotten a lot of new ideas out of them and am anxious to try some of them out.  I was surprised to find out that Hawaiian's add mayonnaise to their mac and cheese.  They say it makes it much creamier.  Not sure if I want to try that but will see.  This one woman added chocolate chips to her chocolate pudding and THAT was interesting.  Also the one that added marshmallows to hers and sprinkled crumbled up graham crackers on top.  Yum!  She said that was how she makes her *S'more* pudding.

I would probably have used miniature marshmallows but she used the big ones.  She said that way it doesn't all melt and mix in with the pudding but makes swirls.  That's what it looked like in the dishes so I guess she was right.  That looked really appealing to me.  I think I will give that a try sometime soon.

I finally connected with my gf, Carol.  She's having a tough time lately between her internet problems (which her daughter-in-law solved for her) and a problem with sitting for any length of time.  I can understand that part.  I had to get a special cushion for myself to keep from having my hind end hurting.

We are having the kind of weather that is really icky lately.  Not really warm in the day time with overcast skies and drizzles of rain and then chilly nights that require me turning on my heater for several hours.  I've also been having a tough time staying up at night even with naps.  Guess I am turning into an old lady after all.  LOL!  It's only in the lower 60's (although lower 50's is predicted for tonight) but the humidity is 100%.  That's what makes it feel even colder to me.  I have to get warmer pj's on.  I'm feeling very chilled right now.

It's late and I am over-tired.  Love you all.  Have a great day.  Hope you are blessed with sunny skies and warmth.  It's been a strange winter but should be a nice Spring.  ***Hugs***
