So Paul's in town and wanted to hang out and meet Eisley. I wanted my laptop fixed, so I figured I should hang out with him in return for doing what I want. I'm nice like that.
I picked him up at 1100 and we stopped by Starbucks on the way back the my parents' house. Puck was super excited to see him and got lots of attention all day, not to mention he finally had someone to play with him! He chatted with the folks for a bit and I brought my laptop into the kitchen.
We backed up my laptop and my parents' computer onto our respective externals and began the process. He met Eisley and we chatted in the kitchen for a while while the computers and Paul did their thing. Eventually, I went back to the nursery to feed Eis while Paul chatted with my mom in the kitchen.
After that, we decided to go to Taco Bell for lunch, since we didn't want to eat a lot, as dinner would be in about 4-5 hours. We both grabbed as many sauce packets as we could and stuffed them into my purse for Tyler. When we left, I wanted to find fabric to make stockings for the single soldiers.
I figured Hobby Lobby would be good, so we headed out toward Lake Travis. We stopped for a bit at Breed Hardware to look at all the neat stuff they have there, on the way. As we pulled into the shopping centre in LT, I realised that there was no HL there -- only a Michael's! We went in to see if they had fabric -- they did not. We drove down 71 and stopped in Garden Ridge. They had only terrible fabric. Then we finally went to Hancock Fabric, which is where I should have gone in the first place.
I wandered around trying to figure out what I wanted to do, then I settled on felt. Good ol' standard felt. I got green for the "boot" and red for the top and white for whatever I decide to put on them. I will have to get a move on making them tomorrow, since I don't have a lot of time -- I need to use what time I do have, wisely.
We got back and I fed Eis again while Paul did computer stuff with my dad in the kitchen and office. Then we got ready and headed to Olive Garden for dinner. We had to take two separate cars, since we all couldn't fit in mine with Eisley.
Dinner wasn't too bad. Eis slept for a while, then was staring at stuff, but started fussing as the food arrived. My mom and I took her to change her diaper. I knew she was hungry again and I had a small bottle. My mom insisted trying to hold her while I fed her, but I knew it wouldn't work. We had to go back to the table and put Eis in the "mo." She took her bottle in the mo, but only while I stood behind her. I ate a bit while standing.
Paul really wanted to bake, so we traded cars with the padres and they took Eis home as we went to the grocery store to pick up ingredients for cupcakes. I fed Eis real quick when we got home while Paul got stuff for the cupcakes ready.
It took two freakin' hours to make cupcakes. We did everything from scratch and they were delicious --- chocolate cupcakes with a kahlua buttercream icing. I really needed Paul to leave, but I realised I had to drive him back to Colin's place. Argh. I don't think he was done chatting with us, but Eis we sleepy and fussy and I told him I had to take him home.
I dropped him off next door to Colin's and headed home as quick as I could. When I got there, Dad was reading to Eis and she was talking real loud over him. It was really funny. He went to bed and I read to Eis and she fell asleep at midnight.
She woke up at 0700.
She slept seven hours!
Miracle on Leopold Lane.
It was great to get that much sleep, but my boobs were about to explode, I'll tell you that!!
