Good Distractions

Aside from my mom's visit in the middle of the week, I have been spending lots of time bumming around the apartment and recuperating. Lots of books. Lots of Netflix. Overall, (knock on wood) I am beginning to feel like a person again. Dude and I had dinner with my mom at J. Paul's and Rosa Mexicano (the Chevy Chase one), and I was so happy that my pain was minimal and I could focus on the awesome food and even better company. Dude and I both ordered from the Rosa Mexicano Restaurant Week menu and it was perfect...we got guacamole, the skirt steak, and espresso flan that was not too sweet, came on top of a thin brownie, and was one of the best desserts I've had in a long time.


I read this excerpt on Huffington Post and I have a feeling the book is going to be hysterical. I downloaded the nook free sample and have a feeling I'll be buying whole thing soon.

I can't stop watching American Horror Story on Netflix. It's pretty disturbing but really fascinating. On a completely superficial note, Kate Mara is really good in it (although behavior-wise, at least where I'm at in the series, she's pretty terrible) and I keep catching myself coveting her heavy eyeliner and stick-straight hair.


To calm my mind and take a break from making bracelets, I got this cross-stitch stationery kit when I went to Urban Outfitters with my mom. I've never done it before but it comes with instructions, so I'm feeling pretty positive.

Wishing everyone exactly the kind of weekend you want--calm, crazy, or somewhere in between.
