Asics, Papyrus and Cookies

Happy Friday! Wow- for a girl who did nothing but sit on the couch and watch movies all week, this week really flew by. I am now officially one week into my recovery- one week after my surgery. You can read the first part of my road from Surgery to Running Again here.

I kept my recovery in mind as I constructed this week’s Friday Favorites. Let’s jump right in, shall we?

First, I have been sitting on the couch watching movies all week- literally. It will be another two weeks before I can start moving around a little and THREE MONTHS before I can wear these again!

I can’t imagine how I am going to be in another few weeks let alone another few months just sitting around. I am already going bonkers. I am looking forward to putting on my new Asics and taking a light walk around the block.

Speaking of Asics, I have this guy sitting on the dresser in my bedroom. This is Chad. The fine folks at Asics made him a figurine of himself before the NYC Marathon. Only 500 people were selected to receive their very own action figure. While it resembles him, it doesn’t exactly look like him (for instance- the real Chad doesn’t have sideburns while his action figure does) I still think it is cute and fun.

Speaking of Chad- he has been doing a wonderful job fixing the meals around here. He even tried his hand at baking and whipped up these chocolate chip cookies for me.

As I continue to recovery I have been receiving a few cards wishing me well (thank you everyone!) My favorite cards are the ones my Mom has been sending through the years. She is a big fan of Papyrus cards and they are always so unique. I’ve started framing them and hanging them in the house.

Lastly, I’ve had time to not only watch movies but also to catch up on my readings. I joined a program called Blogging for Books (<—not an affiliate link- the service is free). I pick out a title from a large selection of books and they will send me the book. Once I read it, I review it on the blog and then pick out another book. I picked out this book Provence 1970 as my first selection. The story is about the turning point for the history of American food. So far it seems interesting.

That’s all I’ve got for now- thanks for stopping by. See you guys on Monday for Meatless Monday– have a great weekend friends!
