whoa.

Sorry about the lack of recent updating!

It's been pretty crazy here.

Kelly's friend Sam is visiting. Sarah's friend Jess if visiting. And my mom is visiting. It's nuts!

My mom arrived Saturday morning. She was exhausted, but I wouldn't let her sleep. The best way to beat jet lag is to not sleep until around 9 or 10 PM in your current timezone. So I took her around the city. We grabbed lunch at the creperie. We went into a couple stores. Mostly just walked around and talked. I got her a Claddagh ring for her birthday, so we went in to see if it needed to be resized.

I took her to Finnegan's for some good traditional Irish food. And we split an entire bottle of wine. It was awesome.

On Sunday, we went to Salthill to see the coast. It's sort of like a boardwalk. They have all these shops and restaurants and casinos. And there's this long path that goes along the coast called The Prom. And then we went to the movies with Lisa and saw Slumdog Millionaire because both of them hadn't seen it yet.

Yesterday was an early exhausting day. I wanted my mom to see The Cliffs of Moher so I booked this tour with Galway Tour Company. It started at 10 AM and didn't get back until 6 PM. But she really seemed to enjoy it. There were a bunch of little stops along the way and she got to see the real Irish countryside.

Unfortunately, my alarm didn't go off today. And I'm missing class. But since I didn't finish my history paper last week, I'm going to try and get that totally finished today before I meet up with my mom. I have about 500 words left. I think I can do it.
