Opted for the Upgrade

I had at one point decided against making any changes to my home computer, an iMac I purchased back in 2006. However, as I came across more and more stuff online that didn't work properly because my browsers were too old and couldn't be upgraded because I was still running the Tiger OS, I decided to spend the $30 for an upgrade to Snow Leopard, and I bought another memory stick to increase the speed. (I can further upgrade to OS Lion for another $30, but my system is still running good, everything online works. I think I'll use it as-is for as long as possible.)

I found some information online that says my graphic design software should still work if I install the Rosetta option in Snow Leopard, but I just got the computer system upgraded and haven't had a chance to fire up Adobe yet. That's a task for this weekend.

Fingers crossed it works. The $30 system upgrade and $50 memory upgrade ($80 total) is a lot cheaper than buying a new computer, which would've guaranteed I would've needed new design software.

thredUP

Yesterday, I heard about a site called thredUP . Through this site, you can buy used clothes for your growing child from other parents, and sell the ones your child has outgrown. As quickly as our little girl goes through clothes at this stage, I think this sounds like a great idea. I'm constantly pulling clothes my daughter has outgrown out of her closet, and I feel like she's forever running out of clothes that fit her. I plan to look into it a little more, and I just might give it a try.

TV Time

I'm still looking for a lighter TV , but I hope to buy one within the next couple of weeks. I don't like that so many that I see come with only a yearlong warranty. I don't trust that. Odds are -- based on the reviews of the ones I've seen -- the TV will outlast the warranty, but I just dislike the idea of shelling out $300 or $400 for something that the manufacturer has only a year's worth of confidence in. Based on what I've found in researching TVs, though, I'm probably not going to get a better warranty than that, so I'll likely just have to suck it up.

Frozen Dinner Thoughts

I've been trying to give some thought to what kinds of foods would make good homemade frozen dinners.  (My first post on the topic is here .) Tomorrow is grocery day, so I'd like to have an idea what kinds of things I can make to make sure I have all the ingredients. So far, I'm planning stew (per my husband's request) and a crustless cheeseburger quiche. Hopefully, I can think of another seven options between today and tomorrow.
