Agameece before bed, no matter what.

Even if you have to eat it in the shower, apparently...

I made the great mistake of not giving Jesse ice cream last night, on top of not getting home till 7:30 and consequently not having dinner ready till after 8. So many epic wife fails!
But I should back up. Where did I leave off? Tuesday.

On Tuesday Jody and Matt and Ryan and Nicole and Kent and Tracy all came out to practice pistol. Not much more to say about Tuesday, except that I made a batch of lemon bars and the ants swarmed them while they were shooting, but Jody blew them off at ate them anyway. I brushed them off and trimmed a couple of them and sent them to work with Jesse the next day for Jason. A little extra protein never hurt anybody, right? Especially if you're having twins. Apparently that's the rumor circulating the office. Thank you, husband!
When I came in to work to drop off the car for Jesse and meet Jody so I could go with them to the baby appointment, Ryan and Jason started asking me about the twins, and Jody is all over it, too. When we got to the appointment, he told one of the midwives that I'm having twins. That, kids, is how rumors start.
"A tiny little story is all I need, you better watch out, I'm the rumor weed!"

This is not a peach cobbler.
It's my domestic attempt from the day before...

Anyway...that was a nice blast from the past. I'm getting ahead of myself again. Yesterday I attempted once again to one up my dear sister in our attempts to be domestically BA, and I made a peach cobbler, but it got a little over done, which made me very sad. And then, just before I left to go meet Jody and Mel, two white trucks pulled up, and a bunch of Texans got out and dropped a super mangy cat in a live trap on my front porch! I don't know why it took 5 people to drop off a cat, but it did. (How many Texans does it take...?) Apparently Kent's mom (who they referred to as Regina, but I had only met as "G", which was quite confusing) caught it the other day and
Kent told her to leave it at the ranch. He told Jesse that a cat was going to show up, but everyone failed to mention it to me, so I was rather surprised. Just as they pulled out, and I was about to leave again, the UPS guy showed up with my box from bed bath and beyond! I got a marble rolling pin and a muffin pan. No more rolling out pie crust with a coffee cup for me! I am super excited. It's all heavy and pretty, and has the little wooden tray to put it in, and it makes me happy. But I haven't had a chance to use it, because right after that I left to go into town.

Funny Kian quote of the day:
Kian-"What's your mom's name?"
Me-"Wende."
Kian-"What's her kid's name?"
Me-"Cristin, Rianna, Sarah, Ben, Connie, Noelle, Laney, Joy and Justin."
Kian-"Woah! That's a really long name."
Jody-dying laughing.
Another funny Kian moment was when they pointed out this giant boat-shaped play ground thing that Kian really wants. Jody told me that Jesse and I need it for our twins, and Kian said that he would rather have a boat than a twin, and kept going on about how he should have it, and not the twin. I think he was jealous of the imaginary twin and its playground. They also pointed out a "lamdronat". Literally, that's what the sign says. It's a hot topic of debate whether that's on purpose or not.
But anyway, the tidbits aren't running together well, and I'm starting to lose the thread of my story. So back to it. The birthing center is in Peaster, and it's about an hour and a half away from Breckenridge. It's run by a woman and her two daughters, and they all seem really nice. They basically have an entire house set up capable of accommodating two women in labor, if need be. They even have a fully stocked kitchen that you can use. Mel said that they have been really hands off through the whole thing, not pressuring her to do anything, and she really likes it. She said she hasn't gotten any tests or screens or even an ultrasound. Nothing but some blood work. Right before we left the younger sister, Sarah, said "I like her! I want someone like her to assist at births. We need someone like her." And then we had to laugh about the fact that that's the third time since I've been in Texas that someone has offered me a job the day they met me. Of course they weren't really offering a job, but it was still amusing.
Then this morning I had to go into Abilene to get my fingerprinting done. It was so much easier this time than when I had it done for OC! I don't know why it took forever last time, but today I was in and out in ten minutes. So I spent the rest of the morning at the mall buying teacher looking clothes. I even shopped in the women's section. I feel old, like last Sunday when someone asked me if I "work outside the home". I really wanted to shop at motherhood maternity, because they have seriously the most comfortable shirts I have ever worn, but I figured I should perpetuate any rumors. I already visited a birthing center...that might be too much baby for one week. But I feel like I can now, since I have a wedding ring, without being looking at me like I'm a harlot.
When I was on my way home, I passed Abilene Christian University, so I decided to stop by and see if I could get a catalogue, and sew if i could learn anything about online classes. Well I
ended up meeting the president of marketing and talking to the transfer admissions guy for almost half an hour, just to learn that they only have online classes during the summer except for masters programs. So it doesn't look like ACU would work out too well for me. Oh well.

I came home to dishes all over my life, because the sink broke yesterday and we didn't get the parts to fix till this afternoon. But my husband is wonderful, and he got it fixed right after work today, so I still had time to use my new rolling pin to make biscuits and gravy for dinner, and a batch of chocolate chip cookies for Jason. He said that in return for cookies he's going to take us to dinner in Strawn
tomorrow, and then we're going to a football game. It should be a good Friday night. Jason seems cool. He's a local, and his office is right across the hall from Jesse and Ryan's (they found an empty office and declared it theirs) so I sometimes talk to him when I'm sitting in Ryan's chair waiting for Jesse.
And that, I think, brings you up to date with all of our Texas Adventures. Till next time...! =]

PS. Jesse found a stick bug this morning!  It was cool.

Also, my biscuit picture was cool...gotta add that too!
