Happiest Place on Earth

First I want to say, "Me too, Jessica"!! I too have numb arm when I sleep. It's my right one. I have to sleep with it flat on the bed or it immediately starts tingling and going numb. If I try to sleep on my left side, I can only go half way and then I have to fling my right arm behind me and keep it flat on the bed. Evil, huh? Maybe we have "crafter's arm", or something. Keep me posted what your doc says. My doctor left his practice so I haven't been in to meet his replacement and pick his brain about what's going on. CrAZy!

Anyway, back to me and my adventures. Today we went to the Galleria mall in Roseville. I think it's the happiest place on earth. I went to Macy's, H&M, Charlotte Russe, Anthropologie (actually across the street), DownEast Basics, The Body Shop, J. Crew, Nordstrom's Rack, Ann Taylor, Ann Taylor Loft, Harry & David, Williams Sonoma, and much, much more.
We had lunch in the food court at a place called UFood Grill. It was "healthy" foodcourt food. They had burgers, but with lean beef, turkey, bison and veggie, and there were wraps and bowls. Plus their fries were baked. I had a chipotle pepperjack turkey burger and it was delicious. They serve all their burgers with whole wheat buns, the bowls are with whole grain brown rice, and the wraps are whole grain, too. I wish they had one of those places around here, I'd eat it all the time.
We finished shopping around 5:00 pm so we went across the street to McCormick and Schmick's
which is a seafood restaurant. Chris got jambalaya and I got a grilled chicken fettuccine with a cajun cream sauce. All the fat made it tasty. Next door was a Whole Foods store that we peeked inside and immediately fell in love with. It's like the love child of Trader Joe's and S&S Produce, but with super human powers. There was a salad bar, an olive bar, a soup bar, a pizza counter, a mexican food counter, a sushi/noodle bar and a meat counter to die for. The had premade, seasoned turkey burgers, buffalo burgers, and seasoned hamburgers. They also had a whole corner dedicated to cheeses. Wheels of every cheese you could possibly dream of. Chris was in heaven. We left with one measly box of King Arthur scone mix. So sad.

When we got back in to town we stopped at Marie Callendar's and had some dessert. They had a July $1.99 pie special going so we each got a slice. I had Kahlua cream cheese pie and Chris had lemon cream cheese.
Here's some of my loot from today's haul:
A plaid, "pirate" shirt from Charlotte Russe. Any shirt that had ruffles on the front Chris deemed a "pirate" shirt and mocked. However, all I wanted was a pirate shirt. Badly.
Super cute skirt from DownEast Basics. They had great clothes at a great price. The skirt was like $24 and most of the shirts were $19.99. I also got two tank tops there trimmed with lace on the bottom.
Pirate shirt from the Gap.
Adorable white jacket from Macy's on clearance for $17! I love the green paisley inside trim. I also got a pair of Levi's there on sale.

I'm sure Mum would love the Galleria. She's a Macy's "regular" and loves Williams Sonoma (fancy kitchenware store). Maybe we'll make a fall trip together now that I know how to get there.

Alright, we need to get to bed. We have an "early" morning breakfast date with the 'rents. Mum's making sourdough waffles with some of her starter. It was a recipe we got at our class. I'm sure it'll be good, everything we have there is. Plus, I don't have to make it or clean it up!
