Just What The Doctor Ordered

This weekend was just what the doctor ordered because I am feeling so much better. I didn’t do much besides lay on the couch and watch One Tree Hill. Best part is that I don't even feel lame sharing this.

I’ve been watching One Tree Hill on Netflix for months and finally on Sunday I finished the 187th episode. After it ended, with tears streaking down my face, I became sad when it dawned on me that this was it. It was all over. If you have Netflix and haven’t watched One Tree Hill, I highly recommend. I loved getting home and watching a few episodes a night. Now I need to find another television show to watch. Any recommendations?

I think the most exciting thing to happen to me this weekend was this:

OMG, soooo good! It’s my new favorite. It took all my willpower not to devour the entire container. I’m proud to report that half of it still remains.

The weather got up to a whole 27 degrees yesterday. Today it will get up to 30 degrees. Heat wave! ;)

How were your weekends? I need to live vicariously through some of you.

Be sure to enter this fabulous giveaway! 6 prizes, 6 winners! I don’t know what it is but shopping for my blogging friends is almost as fun as shopping for me. Almost ;).

Happy Monday! ♥

    Haha, woah heat wave! Sad that we're actually having one since it's suppose to be up to 70 today here in KC. Sad to say, as much as I love snow (and we haven't gotten much), I'm ready for the warmer weather. Well…my skin is. ;)

    I need to try that gelato!!

    Your weekend sounds very similar to mine!!! I have nothing to contribute for you to live vicariously through me. Do you eat that caramel plain or what? Perhaps lick it off your fingers on the sly after you've told yourself you wouldn't go back for more? LOL

    I'm so glad to hear that you're feeling a little better Faith, I've never watched One Tree Hill before but I've heard it's very good and I should check it out. Is the salted caramel thing some kind of ice cream? It sounds marvellous!

    How weird! I've been watching OTH on Netflix too! I think I have just one more left! I used to watch it when it was live... it was one of my favs! :) I also watch: Mad Men (great!!), Gossip Girl (lol) and Once Upon A Time (Just started watching last night with Matt... we love so far)

    and let me tell you...I've REALLY been tempted to try that gelato every time i've seen it in the grocery store. you have official convinced me to make my husband stop by and get me some on his way home :)

    I've seen these geelato containers at the grocery store, and have always wondered if they were good! I will have to pick one up <3

    I am SO glad you are feeling better, being sick sucks! If you're looking for a hilarious show I recommend Arrested Development. Its so funny (a tad shocking at times).

    Glad you're feeling much better!

    Netflix is totally making me depressed. I find these great shows, then finsh all the episodes and I'm left sad and hanging that it's over. I finished Gossip Girls a couple months ago. Then, White Collar and I just finished all the episodes of Nikita last week. Guess I should try One Tree Hill? I've never watched it.

    Isn't so nice to be able to take a break from life. I am glad that you were able to get some rest and get back to yourself.

    We are supposed to get a heat wave this week, temperature close to the 70s, crazy.

    Now you already know (okay you have tons of blog friends so you probably forgot) how much I ADORE One Tree Hill. I was sooooooo sad, though prepared, for the last episode. I still get a lump in my throat when I think about it. I haven't found a show to replace it. Its such a shame that EVERYTHING is reality based now. There's nothing like an awesome scripted show that doesn't involve csi (or vampires) in every episode. If you hear of a good scripted drama show, let me know!
    We went to NC a couple years ago and stopped in Wilmington, NC on a day that OTH was filming. We got to see where they film some of their bar and coffee scenes but most of their scenes are filmed on an inaccessible area on the river across from downtown Wilmington.
    Anyway, glad to know you're feeling better, even if I am behind.

    So, I've been wanting to try that Talenti stuff for awhile now, but it's like 6 or 7 points on Weight Watchers and that ain't gonna work!

    Finally got me a pint of that goodness! It wasn't as salty as I'd like to contrast the caramel, but still good. Loved the little caramel pieces inside too :)
