This weekend was one that was for the most part laid back, but still a lot of fun. Friday night I met up with some friends I don't see nearly often enough and we had dinner at Stoneground, which was amazing. I tried Swordfish for the first time, and their Tiramisu is to die for. It was an excellent time and we were there until just after closing, and then we moved back to my place where we sat and talked until about 1am.
Saturday I spent lazing about... I woke up feeling a bit moody/gloomy so I immediately knew I needed a little pick me up. I poured myself coffee in my favorite mug and sat down to finish The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman. Another truly spectacular book by my favorite author, expect a review Friday!
The roommate was gone for the day, so when I finished my book I was feeling the need for some Jane Austen. I started out with my absolute favorite Jane Austen (and version), Persuasion. Oh Captain Wentworth makes me swoon... I then watched Mansfield Park, which was good-but no Persuasion.
Saturday night I was invited over to my crush's house to watch movies and had an absolutely fantastic time. I really like him. I think he needs a nickname now for the blog, since I'm hoping to be seeing him more often. Let's call him Frank.
Sunday I spent mostly lounging and researching ways to get rid of the last lingering bit of cold I have... Turns out Eucalyptus Oil and Peppermint Oil, a good amount of tea, the spiciest pho I've ever made (like a cup of Sriracha, it was painful), another hot toddy, and reading all day helped a ton. I'm very nearly all the way better this morning, and another night of sleeping on my pillows which are now dosed with the two oils mentioned above should fix me. I then stayed up way too late reading Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn, which is so twisted.
Other things currently making me happy:
- I received my order from Painting Bliss, and Ashlie was sweet enough to throw in some cute little ghosties she made for me! She's seriously the best, and I am IN LOVE with my Elephants. I spent enough time drooling over them that I knew I had to buy them before someone else did.
- Seeing Frank (as he shall now be called) warm up to me a little more each time we spend time together. Swoon. Seriously.
- Neil Gaiman. Hands down my favorite writer ever.
- My new favorite nail polish, Aly's Dream Polish Ocean. Gorgeous.
- Carpooling with Shawn-saving on gas and having company is so nice!
- Keeping my room tidy-which I've never been very good at but somehow am pulling off now.
- This cold almost being gone... Hello, I have kissing to do, and I cannot kiss someone if they're going to get sick from it. Boo to that.
- I'm reading often again, and that feels so nice!
How was your weekend?
