Puzzzzzzles

I'm currently at the beach with a bunch of my best gal friends. We've had a puzzle sitting on the table for the last couple days, as people messed with a few pieces at a time. I for one am not very good with puzzles. My contribution to the last one was noting that the bottom half all needed to be shifted over some and then figuring out the placement of a single piece. Woot.

I really wish I was good at puzzles. I just don't have an eye for "oh this plain black piece fits perfectly in between the other 17 black pieces." Also, how do people look at the picture and then know which puzzle piece is in their hand? It's all so above me. I'll stick to watching and providing encouragement.
