Here's a few questions for you...

When you saw the blinking temperature light, how high did the temperature get on the dial on the dash?

After you put coolant in the car and drove it home, did you notice any coolant leaking out on the driveway or garage floor?

Again, after you put coolant in the car and drove it home, did you notice any coolant under the carpet in the rear trunk?

When you're parked in the driveway with the engine at idle and the A/C on, can you hear the low speed fans running at the front of the car?

The first question relates to whether the engine overheated, which is a bad thing in an aluminum engine. The next two questions focus on whether you have a coolant leak. The last question relates to whether your radiator fans are working/

Make sure to read your owner's manual. Blinking lights on the dash warn you of serious problems. If you ever see the check engine light start to blink, stop the engine immediately.
