True Blond

Sometimes I am a "true blond" ... lol

This past week, my camera and my TV stopped working on the same day!   When I bought replacements for them, I of course upgraded.  But that comes with new things these days.  I bought a "smart" tv, 24" Vizio, and I like it alot!  However, you don't just pull them out of the box, plug it in and begin watching.  FIRST, it does a software update --- on a TV!   I laughed over that one! 

Then I was all worried about the camera I bought.  None of the features I am used to on the Canon Powershot series of cameras was visible, and I thought for sure I'd have to take it back.  But a little research online showed me where they hid those things, and it's all a matter of relearning the different things.  I can do this! 

Work today wasn't so great.  We're awfully busy, and I'm filling in for some vacationing personnel (yeah, management isn't big on cross training people to fill in.....) which creates the issue of having reached my 40 hour limit at 8:30 am, and still a day's work ahead.  lol   They make me crazy sometimes!   And of course allotted me two hours of OT to get it all done.   *smh*  

I came home and worked on the yard a bit, worked on some Wedding Fever stuff (lol), and played around on the computer.  I've got a bit of weekend cleanup to do, but that's normal chores stuff.  If the morning plays out like I expect it will, I'll be in the park shooting with my new camera! 

Happy Friday, y'all ! 

Happy Thursday!

Quick Update from my little corner of the world:

My "go with me everywhere, never leave home without it" camera quit working, the lens won't open or autofocus any longer.  It's a Canon Powershot and served me well, 3 years!   So goodbye old friend, they don't make any more like you.  So I had to upgrade, to the Powershot SX400.  I bought it in Bright Red this time!   It's a little bit bigger than I wanted, but it'll take some great photos, can't wait to get out there :)

Within the same 24 hour period, in the middle of the night, my old TV went "poof" with a flash and a slight burning smell -- yicky at 3am!   It's an old 2003 19" tube type, that took up lots of room, had to have special attachments in order to watch digital TV (after they switched over from analog) So, I broke down and bought a smart TV for my bedroom, 24"  - a little smaller than I thought I wanted, but it's a nice size, not overpowering.  I'll use the difference in price and put that toward a bigger TV for the living room when that one goes kaput too.  I figure it'll be about 2 years behind this one. hahaha

Maybe I need to get outdoors and ...  demagnetize or ground myself with bare feet touching earth.  Wouldn't be a bad idea if it wasn't hot hot hot out there.  Maybe my early morning walk on Saturday will be in bare feet :)

Happy Thursday!
