Secret Menu Weekend

This weekend was pretty chill, but also lots of fun. On Saturday we both had haircuts which is always fun. Although Braden found out just how long it actually takes to get my hair done which wasn't so fun for him (we were there a total of 4 hours for the two of us). I have trust issues when it comes to hairdressers, but I went to a stylist at JCPenney that I had met when I went in to buy one of my hair products and she was awesome. I got my hair done at a JCPenney when we lived in Arkansas and have been really happy there. She also did a really good job on Braden's hair. After the hair appointments we were both starving so we stopped at In-N-Out. We had just learned about their "secret" menu this past week- apparently you can get lots of things that aren't on their posted menu like different sauces and grilling styles, grilled onions and grilled cheese. braden ordered his burger "animal style" and I was adventurous and got grilled onions on mine. After some grocery shopping we went home and watched some football. Of course I was really excited to watch my Baylor Bears beat Texas Tech and move into number 4 in the BCS, and excited to watch USC beat Stanford. Now if only Baylor can win out and Alabama or Florida State can lose..this next weekend the Baylor game will be featured on GameDay but of course, I have to work. Anyway, after the games on Saturday night we met our friends for frozen yogurt and got to hang out for awhile. On Sunday, we went with these same friends to help decorate for our "Friendsgiving" dinner tomorrow night for our small group. On the way, we stopped at Starbucks and I had to order something off their secret menu- Harry Potter Butterbeer! It is of course full of sugar but its so delicious and worth it. I could almost picture myself in Hogsmeade. If you want to try it, when you go, just ask for:
Creme Frappuccino base.
Add 3 pumps of caramel syrup
Add 3 pumps of toffee nut syrup
Top with caramel drizzle
YUM

In other news, it got down in the 60's this weekend and we saw people in earmuffs and winter coats. It made us giggle a little bit. Silly Californians! I am getting into the Christmas spirit. I bought our mini tree last week, but I will wait until after Thanksgiving to put it up (it's 2 feet tall and pre-lit!), my Christmas shopping is almost done, and I can't wait until I get to play my Michael Buble Christmas CD! Unfortunately, I married a Scrooge:
Guess which one I am?!
Here's to a great week! I can't believe we will be in Texas so soon!
