This morning Ben and I headed up the California coast to Paso Robles. He had a 4 day work week and wanted to do something fun with his 3 day weekend. So even though I wanted to stay home and view house Hunters all weekend, I agreed.

I packed lunch for the road – an apple, salad and some stolen chips. (Stolen from Ben, not the store…)
And because we could not go one much more day waiting for the Hunger games film we made a pit stop for a matinee showing! I mixed up half home popcorn with half film theater so I could get my volume eating fix and buttery goodness fix.
I loved the movie. I read the book end of last year and completely became obsessed. I got way too invested in those characters and have been waiting to see the Hunger games because then. (I don’t to say how numerous times I’ve viewed different clips and cast interviews and tried to get Ben to reenact scenes from the book with me.)
It’s funny, but even though I knew what was going to happen I was dying of anxiety with each scene. What’s going to happen?!?!?! AH!!!
I ended the books team Gale because of a certain Peeta / Katniss altercation but this film did remind me I love Peeta too.
After a little much more driving we stopped for dinner at Panera. That “any baked good for 99 cents deal” (with an entrée and drink) is too good to resist. Well, at least for Ben. He purchased the cheddar scones and a chocolate chip cookie. I promise the cookie was all him. Seriously.
We ended up sharing the cookie. Here’s my thoughts:
The best chocolate Chip Cookie Criteria:
One a scale from 1 to 5
Presentation: 3.5 – plastic wrap, made me feel like it was store bought. I at least want the illusion that it’s fresh.
Size: 5 – Perfect! bigger than my palm, smaller than a car.
Thickness: 4 – Not thick enough and I want it chewier.
Amount of Chips: 4 – good amount, good size.
Other: The sign read 440 calories. I like that info – especially helps me share with Ben. typically I’d dominate.
Overall Taste: 3.4 – Not the one.
The drive was long, but because Ben wanted to drive many of it I was able to read my newest copy of Runner’s world and take pictures.
Now we’re settling into our hotel room. Not sure what the plans are for tomorrow.
When we were dating Ben and I would just take off on road trips without a plan. Well, my brain was certainly flooded with love chemicals at the time and I didn’t care – now, I kinda do. But, he wants to ‘go with the flow’ this weekend and I’m going to reluctantly play along.
See ya later!
