Hey guys!
So, I’m looking back over the food I ate today and it’s SUPER random. Don’t hate–just one of those days I guess!
This morning I went to an awesome spinning class. It was so funny–the instructor was this super cute pregnant woman and instead of being on the bike, she roamed around the room the whole time, shouting and encouraging us while blasting truly amazing music. I’m convinced the secret to spinning is music, no?! 🙂
When I got home, I tried take 2 on protein ice cream.
Unfortunately, it was more of a backfire than I anticipated. I used waaaay too much ice and therefore it was more like a flavorless shaved ice than anything else. I ate it anyway though and then I was super cold and stood under a hot shower for 20 minutes to defrost. Oh well. Note to self: next time don’t add entire tray of ice creams.
Lunch was a big salad with 2 chopped soy hot dogs and a light babybel cheese topped with hummus and hot sauce with kabocha (!!!) and an orange on the side.
I’ve determined that kabocha squash expands in my belly like none other and I was too full to finish my orange at the end of my meal! Rarely do I not clean my plate so that’s sayin’ something right there.
This afternoon I ran errands and lusted after MacBook Pros at the apple store. I know I need a new laptop but can’t decide to get a new MacBook or upgrade to a MacBook Pro. I’m definitely a mac kind of girl…no PCs allowed in this house. Thoughts?
Snack was an unpictured Pure Bar…I figure y’all have seen them all before. 😉
And dinner was pretty random, too….but surprisingly incredibly delicious!
I’m here to tell you tonight that there are three things that can go on anything: hummus, almond butter and hot sauce. Just don’t combine the three together. 😉 This would be an omelet with 3 egg whites, 1 yolk smothered in hummus and hot sauce with MORE squash. Yes, more. It was literally calling my name from the fridge and I had to eat it. I think I’m addicted. Especially when it’s cold!!! Anyways, hummus on eggs is delicious if you’ve never tried it.
I took Caitlin’s advice and had a glass of wine while I wrote….Caitlin, you were right—wine makes the words flow! 😉
And then I ate a pear with almond butter and chocolate chips. Again, almond butter goes on anything. Done and done.
***
Let me introduce y’all to the Michel-Schlumberger 2009 Holiday Catalog!
I’ve received countless emails from you guys, asking for my wine advice or what I recommend. Well, here you go! By ordering from our catalog, you can get a taste of what I taste daily here in Healdsburg. All the items in the catalog are extremely discounted AND you will receive free shipping as well on anything you order. We don’t distribute very heavily so this is an easy and convenient way to enjoy our wines.
We produce world class, organic wine here at Michel-Schlumberger and are best known for our big, bold Cabernets. Ten percent of the proceeds from catalog sales go to the Healdsburg Education Foundation, supporting vital programs in our local public schools. If you are ever in the winery, we also donate half of the sales from tours and tastings to the same foundation because we feel so strongly about it.
What are my favorites?
Everything! I’m more of a red wine girl and I just loooooove our 2005 Cabernet Sauvignon, Deux Terres and Pinot Noir. If you like Pinots, ours is really special because we are actually the only Pinot Noir producer in all of Dry Creek Valley here. It’s what I love to give to guests to wow them because you can really taste the terroir (earth, sun, wind, rain…) in the wine and it’s very unique and complex. The Pinot Blanc is a SUPER light white wine and perfect for those interested in diving into wine but a little scared. It’s really light and easy to drink….I always recommend it to wine newbies. 😉
We’ve set up a special promo code especially for you guys on the site, so when you order, type in Jenna in the tab for special offers when you check-out.
Bad news is we can’t ship to Kentucky, Maryland, Tennessee, Utah, Massachusetts or King of Prussia, PA (don’t ask).

December 1, 2009 at 7:37 pmI definitely agree that the key to spinning is music! (I have a rant post about this about a week ago)
I want to become a spin instructor. I wish certification wasn’t so expensive 🙁
Ameena
December 1, 2009 at 7:46 pmYour meals don’t look random at all! Dessert looks delicious!
Jen (Running With Cake)
December 1, 2009 at 7:48 pmWine makes writing seem more sophisticated. OK, wine makes everything seem more sophisticated. Thanks for the heads up about the catalog. I really like that some of the proceeds go back to helping the community. Nice!
Brie (The Fit Bride)
December 1, 2009 at 7:51 pmMy mouth is literally watering looking at those 2005 Cabs! Mmmm…I can’t find Michel-Schlumberger (or Murphy-Goode, for that matter) wines here in Kansas City, though, which makes me one sad panda.
Deva (Voracious Vorilee)
December 1, 2009 at 7:53 pmI love wine. I almost picked up a bottle tonight but didn’t, and now I wish I had! 🙂 My favorites are Reislings and Pinot Noirs – so good.
Jamie
December 1, 2009 at 7:54 pmThis is a perfect idea for my Dad who just finished building a wine cellar in my house. He is obsessed.. thanks!
Jolene (www.everydayfoodie.ca)
December 1, 2009 at 7:54 pmThat pear looks so good with the almond butter and chocolate chips on top – smart girl!!!
Chelsea
December 1, 2009 at 7:55 pmI have a MacBook Pro and it’s amazing. I had a PC before this and there’s just no comparison. My Pro is my baby. I can’t compare it to what you have but I can definitely sing its praises and recommend it. 😉
Oh, and drinking wine has gotten me through many a paper in my college career. 🙂
legalstyle
December 1, 2009 at 7:56 pmI actually have the macbook air and I would recommend it with my whole heart. It’s so so easy to carry around and so easy to type on and use. It’s very sleek and I feel very productive with it. I LOVE IT 😀 😀 😀
Enjoy your wine!
Vaala
December 1, 2009 at 7:58 pmYep, it’s the music that makes a great spin class…especially at 6am (when I go)!
Oh yeah, I have a Macbook Pro which is wonderful but I use a lot of software that needs a powerful machine (admittedly mine has been modified to be more powerful). You’ll probably be fine with a Macbook (although in saying that, the Pro has great speakers so really you can’t go wrong either way!!).
Jessie (Vegan-minded)
December 1, 2009 at 8:00 pmI have a MacBook Pro (the older, all silver model) and I love it so much! I can never go back to a PC now, so I know how you feel. The regular MacBooks are cute and awesome too, so I think it depends on what you will be using it for and budget. The Pro is more powerful, but not as easy to carry around, and its much more expensive than MacBook. If you don’t mind the slightly older model of the Pro, you may be able to find one online for a good price. 🙂
Carrie @ I See Monsters
December 1, 2009 at 8:01 pmAh, Tennessee liquor laws. So annoying to us TN residents wanting to take a trip to wine country. 😉
Jenna
December 1, 2009 at 8:03 pmyou loved hummus, hot sauce, and kabocha today!
jenna
candice
December 1, 2009 at 8:03 pmSorry your ice cream wasn’t so great! It sure looks a heck lot like actual ice cream, though. And yes, kabocha is super filling! I ate half of one as “part” of my lunch one day. Yeah, it ended up being my lunch. Love your pear + almond butter 😉
Jordan
December 1, 2009 at 8:03 pmI thought that shipping of wine was opened up to Tennessee this year. 🙁
I was really hoping to join some sort of wine club!

December 1, 2009 at 8:05 pmI just bought the new MacBook. I have a mac friend and he said that for money, right now, the MACBOOK is the best option. unless you want a bigger screen. I love..LOVE it! Happy shopping.
Jackie @ TritoLose
December 1, 2009 at 8:06 pmI love spinning – and yes, I think it is the music! I can have an incredible workout session if the music is great! There are certain songs that will get me every time – like Christina Aguliera’s (sp?) “Fighter”. I could be so unmotivated and that song can come on and I completely change! I love it.
Keep spinning! I’m still waiting to get on a bike – my foot injury is keeping me off. Boo!
amber
December 1, 2009 at 8:07 pmI agree the key to spin is MUSIC!!! One of my faves is when my teacher blast Eminem lose it.
Vanessa (Last Night's Leftovers)
December 1, 2009 at 8:08 pmI have yet to try spinning! I know, I know…what am I waiting for? 😛
Suzanne de Cornelia
December 1, 2009 at 8:14 pm95% of people polled appreciate wine as a gift–so terrific recommendations. I’ll go post this on my FB page right now.
RE: Mac. I LOVE my Mac Power Book…and LOVE the Apple Store in Union Sq. in SF….so I’d probably make a weekend jaunt there and ask the pros at the genius bar. Having been to every Apple Store that exists in any town I go into that has one—I’m convinced that their major stores offer the best advice, which doesn’t meant pushing the most costly product but what’s best for needs, pros and cons included.
Hillary @ Nutrition Nut on the Run
December 1, 2009 at 8:18 pmHa…your eats today were certainly random, but I love that you’re so positive and embrace it! That’s why I love this blog =)
Ruth
December 1, 2009 at 8:30 pmWell aren’t you spoiled with your special dessert! 😉 Hope the next time you make it, it turns out better! 🙂

December 1, 2009 at 8:38 pmJenna, have you ever tried any Carmenere’s? Super delish!
And you’re right, the eats were totally random, but totally delectable 🙂
Catie
December 1, 2009 at 8:43 pmI think that is the first coupon code I have ever seen that only gives you a penny off! I mean I guess every penny helps, but I thought it was a joke!
Callina
December 1, 2009 at 8:45 pmI used to have a MacBook Pro, and now I have a MacBook. Unless you are running lots of huge programs like for graphic design, you will be totally fine with a Mac Book. I basically use mine for Internet, word processing, and basic photo editing/storage, etc. If you want to get into Photoshop though you might be better off with the upgrade, but honestly you can do lots of basic photo editing with a simple lightweight program. I like the simplicity of the MacBook, and I like that it’s smaller. FYI you can also get a refurbished laptop if you don’t want to splurge on a new one…
lindsay
December 1, 2009 at 8:51 pmHow cool!! Thanks for all the vino advice, I will def have to check out the online catalogue!
Katie
December 1, 2009 at 9:04 pmDefinitely the Macbook Pro. For $200 more you get more cuteness and it looks more professional, so may help you get more done;) I have the Pro that is the same size as the Macbook and love it. The white Macbook just reminds me of college since everyone had them then.
Devan
December 1, 2009 at 9:04 pmoooh thanks for the link!
red wine is my favorite too, for sure!
i like it warmed with spices (cloves and cinnamon) & fresh fruit for a christmas drink.. with a cheaper wine 😉 so festive!
your squash looks DELISH!
M
December 1, 2009 at 9:12 pmI think there MUST be a mistake with the coupon code because you only save .01…Really?
Nicole
December 1, 2009 at 9:16 pmSo random that you can’t ship to king of prussia, I’m originally from that area, and it seems odd of all places in the state not to be able to ship, mmm.
As far as spinning and music, music makes the world go around, and class fly by! Love a teacher who knows how to pick the tunes 🙂
Kelly (The RUnning Phoodie)
December 1, 2009 at 9:24 pmI love your white plates with the dots around the rim- where did you get them??
Foy
December 1, 2009 at 9:38 pmI’m super curious about King of Prussia. Why not all of PA?
Julie
December 1, 2009 at 9:42 pmMacbook all the way. The pro is just more computer than most people need. : ) I just started spinning and I’m soooo addicted. My first class (last week!) was 90 mins and I was determined to make it longer than the pregnant lady did. I made it through the whole thing and now I’m hooked. I think it is all about the music.
Mary Cressler
December 1, 2009 at 9:44 pmI gotta interject about spin classes. I’ve been taking classes for a few years now and am passionate about the music selection. It makes or breaks the class for sure! 2 weeks ago I was traumatized when my teacher played (all in the same class), light rock, Huey Louis & the News, Backstreet Boys, and Bob Segars “Like a Rock”. This is just NOT OKAY for a spin class! I went back today, for my first time back since the “incident” and the same teacher was there. I almost walked out, but she saw me, so I gave her a second chance (barely). She stepped up her music selection a bit today, but still played Backstreet Boys.
I hope you can feel my pain.
PS, I love my MacBook. I almost went with the Pro, but didn’t (and still don’t) see the need for the increase in price and storage size, unless you’re storing lots of video on it.
Cheers
Renee
December 1, 2009 at 9:44 pmGo for the Macbook Pro. I just purchased the 13 inch to upgrade from a Macbook and I LOVE it!!! =)
Carbzilla
December 1, 2009 at 9:48 pmI’ve always been a Mac girl and have the MacBook while my husband has the MBPro (he’s a developer). I do like his bigger screen (and they say size doesn’t matter).
BUT I did just have my 3 year-old hard drive fail and lost everything because I’d never backed up except for photos. Guy at Apple Store says “hard drives fail” so make sure to back up! I’m not sure if all new models come with Time Machine but if you don’t have that, have something because it’s taken me weeks to get over the grief (3 years of IE bookmarks!!!!!).
Lindsay
December 1, 2009 at 10:15 pmIf you go with a MacBook Pro, definitely get the fastest processor possible. I didn’t… and I am definitely regretting it!
Sarah @ The Foodie Diaries
December 1, 2009 at 10:20 pmomg eggs + hummus is brilliant! i can’t wait to try that!
Cynthia (It All Changes)
December 1, 2009 at 10:38 pmMy favorite eggs are wrapped in a Whole wheat tortilla with hummus, laughing cow, and salsa. So good and so filling. Tastes so bad but is so good.
Caroline
December 1, 2009 at 11:27 pmI recently upgraded from a MacBook to a pro and I recommend it! I do not use a lot of heavy duty software so I didnt really need more power, but I do tend to be hard physically on my electronics and the Pro is so much more sturdy and durable!! I also love the keyboard!!
jenny
December 2, 2009 at 12:11 amas far as the computer question goes: i’m a junior at uc berkeley and LOVE my macbook pro. i am not exaggerating when i say love. i would definitely upgrade for the very reason that all of my friends with regular macs have had at least one hard drive crash since the beginning of college (that’s 2.5 years). i’ve had my computer for 3 and it hasn’t (knock on wood) crashed once. it’s also a great computer for watching movies, etc–has a beautiful screen–and even though it’s slightly heavier, i still manage to carry it to class to take notes with no problems. hope that helps!
oh and i love you blog, too 🙂
nic
December 2, 2009 at 1:03 amI’m a total Apple-Girl myself and I have had a MacPro since my first laptop and I just LOVE him!! 😀
So I just can totally recommend a Pro not only because he looks awesome (who dosn’t love a shiny casing?!) I never had a problem with it!! So if you’ve got the money for it… GO FOR IT!! 😉
christie, honoring health
December 2, 2009 at 2:31 amI have never taken spin but it is the music that holds me back from going, I have heard it is techno music which I don’t like. Brings back too many memories of my early twenties. sigh.
Jessica @ How Sweet It Is
December 2, 2009 at 3:40 amI live in Pa! Can you ship to other areas of Pa?
Anna @ Newlywed, Newly Veg
December 2, 2009 at 4:06 amYeah, I live in PA too, and I don’t think that we can have alcohol shipped anywhere here. 🙁
When I moved here, I was looking at a map and saw King of Prussia…strangest name for a city I’ve ever seen. But apparently it has a really good outlet mall! 🙂
I’ll have to try hummus on eggs…that sounds good! I used to try that wine trick in grad school when I’d have poems or a story due…sometimes the result was great…sometimes, not so much 🙂

December 2, 2009 at 4:57 amMACs only allowed in this house, too. My husband converted me in college. Once you go MAC, you never go back!
laura
December 2, 2009 at 5:03 amDo you read Gizmodo? It’s a tech website. They recommended getting the MacBook but NOT the MacBook Pro- the MB Pro is not enough of an upgrade to justify the higher price.
This is the link to one of their latest posts on it:

December 2, 2009 at 5:09 amI just got a macbook pro and am loving it!! Highly recommend it 🙂
Jen
December 2, 2009 at 5:15 amI love, love, love my MacBook Pro. I bought it refurbished (3 years ago) from the Apple site at a deep discount, bought the warranty, and have had only a few simple problems that the Genius Bar at the store has quickly fixed for me. I would never buy another computer!
Pam
December 2, 2009 at 5:18 amAwe, Jenna….just relax, girl….just remember to….’B YOURSELF!’….it’s that simple!….now go get’em!
Enjoy!
Sarah @ See Sarah Eat
December 2, 2009 at 5:27 amNo shipping to Kentucky, waaaaah 🙁
You are totally right about almond butter, hummus and hot sauce. They do go on everything!
Lizzie
December 2, 2009 at 5:33 amAges ago I thought Macs were dumb, I didn’t know how to use one and didn’t really care to learn. Fast forward 5 years and now I can’t use Windows b/c all I use is a Mac. LOVE them! I have a Macbook Pro 15 inch, because I need it for work (video editing). If you want to save some dosh, I would probably just look at a MacBook since you’re pretty much just going to be writing, surfing the web, and uploading photos onto it. Figures that you can’t ship to Mass – the only repealed the no selling of alcohol on Sundays law a couple of years ago!! 🙂
Jill
December 2, 2009 at 5:34 amHi Jenna. Not to be cranky or ungrateful or anything, but for some reason when I try to order from your catalog, I am being charged shipping. I did apply the “Jenna” code and got the wee discount, but the shipping charges still apply. Did I read incorrectly that there would be no shipping charges?
Confused.
mary ann
December 2, 2009 at 5:40 amI was wondering if you save your yolks when making egg white omelets. I remember being in France and my friend wanted egg whites and they were like, for meringue?!! haha. They said that theyd be delighted as the yolks would make a lovely creme brulee. Not that Id be upset if you just discarded them, but did France have a waste not-want not effect on how you live today?
Mary Ann
Meg
December 2, 2009 at 5:44 amHi Jenna, I see a few people have already asked–but I am wondering about the shipping charges for the wine as well. I’d love to order some, but I’m in VA and $30 for shipping is a little steep!
Also, I invested in a Macbook last year and I love it–just thought I’d add my two cents on that subject!
Love your blog!!
Kasey @ Fit For Wellness
December 2, 2009 at 5:48 amI’m more of a red wine girl too! I go for white more often during the hot New Orlean’s summers.
Kristie Lynn
December 2, 2009 at 5:53 amSame question here as some others have had – is there something wrong with the discount code? $26 for shipping and a penny off isn’t exactly in my price range 🙁
Maura
December 2, 2009 at 5:54 amI was totally bummed when I read that you can’t ship to Mass! Definitely should work on that 😉 haha. Have a lovely day everyone!
justrun
December 2, 2009 at 6:05 amYou are so right about spinning and music. It’s the difference between having to grit it out and the time passing quickly. Well, as quickly as it can pass on a spin bike. 🙂
As for the MacBook vs. Pro debate, of course you’ll be happy with either but unless you’re going to need a lot more power and memory, I’d stick with the MacBook and then get an external hard drive for all your photos. That is what I did and I use my MacBook for similar things as you probably do (writing, photo processing, Internet, music/iTunes). Having that external hard drive for photos will save a TON of memory in the long run and really reduce the need for the more powerful Pro, in my opinion.
Gillian
December 2, 2009 at 6:08 amI am a graphic designer and have used Macs for the past 10 years. A MacBook Pro for anyone who doesn’t process mass amounts of graphics (ie. super high res layered psd files and the such) is spending far too much money for what they need. If I were you Jenna, I would stick to the regular MacBook and save yourself the extra $$. The MacBook is an incredibly good laptop and will MORE then be able to handle blogging and photo purposes. Just buy an external hard drive to pull your photos off onto every so often so they don’t eat up tons of memory on your computer which will slow it down!
Joelle (The Pancake Girl))
December 2, 2009 at 6:11 amMmm almond butter on top of a pear with chocolate chips? Delightful!
Beth @ DiningAndDishing
December 2, 2009 at 6:28 amI am addicted to kabocha squash lately too! (and the skins!!) I made a version the other day with maple, soy sauce, cinnamon, sugar and cayene. Super interesting and very delish :O).
Heather (Sugar & Spice Blog)
December 2, 2009 at 6:30 amHi Jenna –
I love my Mac Book Pro and I highly recommend it! I’ve been a MAC girl since 3rd grade, and my Mac Book Pro is my favorite one yet! Good luck shopping 🙂
Rose
December 2, 2009 at 6:38 amI vote Macbook Pro. I love my Mac – but I often wished I had upgraded.
Erin
December 2, 2009 at 6:40 amI loooveeee my Macbook. I was a PC girl before that and I don’t think I’ll ever go back!
I’ve never had hummus with eggs. Looks great. And that is really awesome that the company supports an educational foundation. Gotta love good corporate citizenship!!
brandi
December 2, 2009 at 6:45 amI agree about kabocha expanding – it’s so filling!
Ali @ Food, Fitness, Fashion
December 2, 2009 at 6:45 amEverything looks good! I have never tried hummus on egg, I will have to next time I make eggs. I have found wine does help with writing, I think it will help get me through my final paper I need to write this weekend!
Jil
December 2, 2009 at 6:46 amThose meals look delicious!! I am obsessed with hot sauce on eggs (and on pretty much anything, really). And the pear/almond butter/chocolate chip combo looks amazing.
Lauren @ Eater not a runner
December 2, 2009 at 6:51 amThat pear with almond butter looks heavenly 🙂 And I love my macbook so much. Love love love.
Laura Georgina
December 2, 2009 at 6:52 amPoor King of Prussia–wonder why places can’t ship there (it’s not the first time I’ve seen them blacklisted for shipping purposes)?
Computer shopping can be so much fun! I have a very standard laptop PC but would like to get a new one this year and hope it will be the year of the Mac for me, fingers crossed! Can’t wait to see what you pick and see how it goes….

December 2, 2009 at 6:56 amI completely agree that the music makes the spinning class. Well, music and instructor 😉
You really do love your squash, don’t you!? I love it, too.
Thanks for all those wine recs. That online store is awesome.
Evan Thomas
December 2, 2009 at 7:13 amI love your lunch! I was on a random squash kick yesterday, too. I craved an acorn squash for a snack

Heather McD (Heather Eats Almond Butter)
December 2, 2009 at 7:37 amTennessee and our bizarre liquor laws. 🙁
Yes, a totally random day of eats, but I LOVED them all. Been there with the icy protein ice cream. I find that two fistfuls of ice is best, and yes, kabocha totally expands in the belly. Funny – it knows both of our names, b/c it calls me from the fridge too. 😉
Hummus is awesome on eggs, and almond butter is awesome on everything else. Although, I have been loving chipotle almond butter on my eggs lately. So good!
Katie
December 2, 2009 at 8:45 amHey Jenna!
I have a macbook (the silver metal one) and I really have enjoyed it! Someone told me that if you’re not doing a lot editing for videography then the pro isn’t really necessary! Obviously you should get what’s best for you but I know pro’s a few hundred extra so maybe it could save you some mula!
Cassie
December 2, 2009 at 8:53 amI’m going through the same MacBook/Pro dilemma. I have a MacBook now and I think I’m leading towards getting a Pro. Everyone that I know who has them says that it is worth it and especially since you spend so much time on the computer, I’d say go for it!
Neal
December 2, 2009 at 9:39 amI love your blog!
I just wanted to comment and say to spend the extra $ (it’s not much…) for a Macbook Pro over the Macbook. The aluminum and glass are simply magnificent.
Keep up the tasteful cooking and drinking! 🙂
Diana Par-Due
December 2, 2009 at 10:24 ammmmm, that salad looks amazing. I use hot sauce and hummus all the time as dressing! ha, my sisters say I have a dangerous addiction to hot sauce and need help. haha

Angela @ A Healthy Fit
December 2, 2009 at 10:50 amI love my MacBook. I actually got it before the Pro came out, but mine has all the same features…weird. My husband just bought the pro and loves it!
I LOVE hummus and egg whites as well. I made a wrap for lunch with the m the other day with some hot sauce and lettuce in it. yummers!
Lizzie
December 2, 2009 at 10:54 amI just had to replace my macbook and chose to get the new macbook pro instead of a regular macbook. My justification was that they’re not really that much more expensive than when I bought my macbook, and even if the prices of the macbook have gone down, I kind of felt like I deserved an upgrade.
The new macbook pros are great, and I would highly recommend them.
Good luck with the book!
Anne
December 2, 2009 at 11:04 amI have a 15″ Macbook Pro, and I love it! It’s lightweight and very sleek…I got it summer of 2006 and I haven’t my hard drive crash or anything!
Lisa (bakebikeblog)
December 2, 2009 at 1:42 pmI use hot sauce all the time!!! I agree that it goes perfectly with pretty much everything 🙂
Amanda@thegrainsofparadise
December 2, 2009 at 3:13 pmAloha, My MAC notebook only lasted 1 year. I started having issues with it within 8 months. It totally died on me right after my 1 year warrenty ran out! The logic board went out ( I guess that happens a lot with MAC according to the guys at the local service department. They said it would be $700 to fix it….
I just purchased a Sony Vaio and it’s enroute to Maui:-) I’m not done with MAC though….I’m trying to see if they will help me out since the notebook started getting squirrely within a year…who knows.
Anyway….that my 2 cents. Good Luck:-) A
Amy
December 2, 2009 at 6:18 pmYou should check out powermax. I just bought my Mac desktop through there and they bought my old Macbook Pro for almost $1000! You might be able to trade your macbook in for a pro. They’d let you buy the pro so you can transfer your files over and then send them you’re macbook and they’ll credit the money back to your credit card. It’s based in Oregon so it would probably be a quick turnover for you. I’d really recommend it. They have either new, refurbished, or used macs for sale. 🙂
Jess (What's Normal, Anyways?)
