My super talented sister Dana made 95% of this yummyness, all on her own! I helped her a bit by holding the mixer while she added ingredients to a mixing bowl. I also helped by entertaining her during her seven hour marathon of food making. So yes, my presence in that kitchen was priceless.

In case you’re wondering, my niece turned eight :)

This is what I had:

I tried upgrading to a Flickr pro account the other day, but the site kept rejecting my card. I’ve used this card to shop online for lots of things and never had any problems with it, ever! I emailed support a week ago and still have not received a response, which is what I call poor customer service. So I am punishing Flickr by depriving them from the unmatched visual arts of my camera. Take that, you lowly credit card eaters!

I’m giving Picasa a shot for now…

The application is surprisingly smooth. Using it makes me feel like I’m in the Matrix or something because it has neat “gliding” effects, and I can upload things directly from my computer and do some supernice things with them. Also, I don’t think Picasa limits the number of albums I can have as a free account holder, which is really sweet. So far, I am in love with Picasa and I wonder why I never checked it out previously. I guess I was blinded by Flickr Power…but now I can see.

The only glitch I have faced until now is that I can’t view my photos when I upload them, not instantly at least. I am not sure why that is but yesterday I was testing Picasa with a friend who saw my pictures no problems, but I only got empty boxes. Today, I can see them alright. This is not a big deal to me but I hope Picasa people do something about it. That way I might even buy extra storage with them, sayonara Flickr!
