Fun and comfort food

On Sunday Corinne and I decided to cruise downtown, Corinne loves walking around downtown and looking at the shops , a true shopper in the making.  We decided to go have lunch at Mobo's but by the time we got there they were close to clean up for the dinner rush.  They open 11:30 a.m., close at 12:30 p.m. and then open up again at 5 p.m.  We wanted to find someplace where we could sit outside because the weather was so beautiful.  Right on the corner there with a little Italian restaurant with a patio so we decided to give it a try.  EVERYTHING on the menu was very expensive and it made Corinne really nervous but I told her to just not look and order what sounds good.  I had seafood ravioli, shrimp and crab, with prawns and Corinne had some kind of walnut, gorgonzola raviolis.  They only gave you about six but they actually were very good, bill was about $42 so although it was a really good experience we definitely won't be going back there again.

On Monday I had two appointments in San Jose so that it was pretty much shot.  The first one was with Tony to get my SP tube change in the second was just the general appointment.  They are going to get together with an OT and a wound care specialist and try to help me pick out the best mattress/bed frame for me, my mattress is getting louder and louder everyday and I fear it's just a matter of time before it gives out.

Yesterday Corinne and I cruised over to Ross, I LOVE Ross.  I found a couple of oversized men's sweatshirts, I like to cut them all the way up the back so that if I get cold in my chair it's easy to just slip them on.  Corinne found a really pretty sweater dress, gray and purple, and we got her a gray camisol and some leggings... she really looked cute in them.  When we got home Heather was in the kitchen cooking.  She made the meat loaf that was covered with bacon, sautéed spinach, zucchini with red bell peppers, green beans and of course EVERYBODY'S favorite, her red roasted potatoes.  She also made a couple of wraps, one with chicken, avocado, spinach, pepperchinies and cheese and the other one has Black Forest Ham, cheese, spinach and pepperchinies.  We ate in the kitchen but it felt like we were in heaven, everything was so wonderful.
