Ben and I headed to my mom’s to pick up Matt and have some fun yesterday. We stopped at a burger joint on the way there to grab lunch. Ben got a burger and I ate most of our MASSIVE order of fries. When I got to my mom’s I made a salad to go with my french fry main course.
And found chocolate covered pretzels as dessert. This was definitely not necessary, but I they were dark chocolate covered – c’mon, what did you expect?!
But, gorging myself on french fries proved bad for my stomach and I followed lunch with a massive amount of knock-off Tums. Told ya I ate a lot A LOT of fries.
Ben, Matt and I went to the Open House at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. 
This is where NASA builds the Mars Rover and a ton of other cool stuff!
Matt (who’s 10) and Ben (who’s a Mechanical Engineer for aircraft) were in space info Heaven 🙂
It was interesting, but I was most impressed with this sign…
After the open house we dropped off Matt and met up with my friend Susan to see Bridesmaids. 
I brought popcorn, but also stole some of Ben’s “real” popcorn to mix with it. 
After the movie I was super hungry out of no where and raided my mom’s fridge (no pic). I also raided her freezer and found ice cream and a Vitatop. Sundae with a hot Vitatop and granola = the best dessert ever.
This morning I woke up feeling pretty crappy from my indulgent day of eats. Mentally and physically I just felt bloated 🙁 I decided to go for a walk and clear my brain. Much better.
I picked up a Sunday paper and iced coffee to enjoy with breakfast.
Pancakes and sausage, Sunday breakfast done right 
I think I broke my point and shoot (dropped it a few days ago and it worked right after, but now won’t respond). So, I might have to get a new one. Boo. Ben and I are headed to church and then errands stuff.
See ya later 
Love the attack squirrel sign..that is awesome!
Haha omg my dad used to always take me to JPL’s open house when I was younger as well! He’s a M.E., too, so he was about 8437593845x more psyched than I was.
I’ve never been inside! JPL is where I did a ton of trail runs, there’s a creek and crazy trail run right behind it!
My roommates saw Bridesmaids and they loved it!! I can’t wait to see it. 🙂
Bummer about dropping your camera. I recently let my soak overnight in ranch dressing. :/ Yesterday I dropped my cell and now it won’t work, then I hit a guy while pulling out of a parking spot. Ugh!
Love fries, hate the aftermath.

I love french fries… crispy potatoes in general. French fries always give me indigestion….. fact. Looks like a fun day : D
salad + french fries is one of the greatest combinations of all time.
Cute pic of Matt and Ben! I hope your camera comes back to life.
I literally went: “french fried and tums–MMM!” because both of them are among the top tasteist things in the planet. too bad they often go hand-in-hand, and not in the good way
Awesome sign. Did you see the squirrel?
Dark-chocolate pretzels are my favourite kind of hard pretzel. Cinnamon sugar are my favourite soft ones.
I never knew that you could really mix french fries with candy
I love it when husbands and siblings bond 🙂 I love that sign- I really, really hate squirrels and this confirms my suspicions about their evilness.
How did you like Bridesmaids? I can’t wait to see it!
I don’t know what the attack squirrel is….but I want to 😛
I went to that open house three years ago on my third date with my boyfriend… brings back so many memories!
I would have to say anything covered in dark chocolate is healthy 😉 pretzels, raisins, cranberries, almonds. Oh yeah. haha
The JPL thing looks like it was pretty cool!
