Just looked at the weather and I see Richmond is having a very hot week. Sorry to hear that as I know it's not your cup of tea. Stay cool and eat some yummy salads. We got a break from rain yesterday but it's supposed to resume later today, hopefully not til evening. Gray skies get old fast.
I was really not in the mood to exercise this morning, even though it wasn't difficult to get up as I slept well. Made it through almost all of Pilates mat but let myself wuss out after side series.
I would appreciate your opinion on my upcoming computer purchase. You know my computer needs pretty well - I do SparkPeople and the blog several times a day, check email, use Internet for vacation planning, shopping for specific items, etc. I store and manage my photos, play Snood, look up info on the Internet. I plan to buy a Mac Mini, and am trying to decide if there is any reason to bump up to the $799 model with 4 gb memory vs the $599 model with 2 gb. I do tend to keep my computers for a very long time between upgrades, but if there's little likelihood I'd ever max out the basic model, I hate to spend an extra $200 for capacity I'll never use. Opinions?
Thanks for your opinion - I was thinking it didn't seem to make sense to go with a more powerful machine if I'm not likely to use it.
Pulled out the Victory Garden cookbook to figure out how to cook Swiss chard. Chopped it, steamed it, and then sauteed in olive oil with chopped shallot and garlic. Delicious!
Well, I went ahead and ordered the Mini with the smaller processor, but Dad thought I should get the 4 GB memory anyway. I was able to do that on the $599 machine for $100 more, splitting the price difference of the machines. Should be here next week. I enter the 21st century.

You're probably going to be perfectly fine with the $599 version - it's got a slightly slower processor and half the storage (160GB vs. 320GB) of the other one, as well as half the RAM (2GB vs. 4GB), but they've got the same graphics card and the same disc drives, and honestly I don't think that with your level of activity you'd notice the processor difference.
