Mothers Day

May 13 - Day 32
Happy Mothers Day! I have to admit that I had quite a difficult time finding a card for my mom. I went to several stores looking for mothers day cards and I finally asked in a card shop where I could find the mothers day cards. They looked at me kinda funny and told me that mothers day was in March and since it had passed, they did not stock the cards until next year. Hmmm. I never thought about Mother’s day being celebrated on different days in different countries. So, I found a random funny card and mailed it to my mom.

I went to an outdoor market in Dun Laoghaire and it was really fun. I picked up some local produce and snacked on hummus. There was lots of different food to eat from crepes to falafel and everything in between! I’ll have to go there for lunch some Sunday after church.

May 14- Day 33
My landlord called to say that additional furniture had been delivered to my apartment. I’m not sure exactly what it is or where it will go, but evidently he thought I needed additional furniture. When I arrived home there were 3 big boxes. I think I’ll leave them for a bit. I’m not sure that I am ready to start assembling.

May 15 - Day 34
I’m booking travel arrangements to go to the Ring of Kerry next week with a girl from work. She is planning to drive and we’ll be spending one night in Killarney. I’ve been in Dublin for just over a month and I am looking forward to getting out into the country to see a different side of Ireland!
