Hey everyone!
Today I am off work which is amazing. I though my schedule was the same every week, but apparently is changes! So I worked the past 4 days and then this week I get today, tomorrow, and Friday off! I'm hoping this means they are flexible for when the visitors finally get here :)
Work is going much better, I got the waitress thing down, and I'm fine at the register. It was a lot easier working with Euros than I thought, I don't think I've messed up anyone's change yet! But they have 8 coins in their money system where we have 4, so it's weird. They have 1 and 2 euro coins, 50, 20,10, 5, 2, and 1 cent coins! It's a lot to get straight but the only mistake I really make is calling them dollars haha I get corrected a lot. I just laugh because I never realize it, but Kate said when she calls them dollars she corrects herself immediatly by saying, "I mean Euros, this is not America" haha The other day at work I went to wipe off a table where people had just sat down, and this little girl barely spoke English but she goes, "You miss here" and told me I had missed a spot! I laughed and wiped it. Then later I brought her her hot chocolate and went back to get her marshmallows and she says, "You so slowly!" Her dad apologized but I was cracking up, I don't move that slow! Work is always busy, I'm not kidding I don't stop. Between delivering drink and food orders, wiping tables, taking orders, dishes....It's insane. But the girls I work with are all soo sweet so it's not too bad. Also I get to eat the food for 50% off the price so I always grab a coffee or something for break...I have yet to pay for anything, woops!!
We went out a whole bunch last week with our roommate David and his friends and Sheila. We really like just going to a pub and getting a couple pints while listening to the trad music. We also really love staying in with some wine and movie! The music at clubs here is really weird, think bad American 90's music set to techno. And they all kind of dance like hippies so we tend to stay away haha
I think the countdown is something like 11 days til visitors now so we've been trying to get all the dirt off our walls and make our house presentable haha Today is my sister's birthday, HAPPY BIRTHDAY SHAN!! And Kate got s surprise when she walked in to work what she thought was a 5 hour shift....she will be working a 10 hour shift! haha Other than that not too much, except I must comment that the weather has been amazing here. It has seriously not rained at all! Apparently that's unusual, but I'll take it! I hope you are doing well and we definitely miss you all tons.
Last thing, I finally have our address for anyone who cares to send a card (or raisinets :) ):
85 Forster Court
Galway Ireland
Love you all!!

ReplyDeleteok so i have to tell you guys a story and im in class right now listening to a lecture on chronic pain and even though it's interesting (sometimes people w chronic pain go to therapy and stuff for 8 hours a day!) i don't want to listen anymore. so i went home this weekend. my dad picked me up from the train and we went to don juans for dinner since my mom is out of town. so we sat at the bar for a while and just had margs and ended up eating dinner there, then we moved to the dining room to talk to my parents friends. ok so i had like 3 margs - shouldn't be that bad - but since i havent had anything to drink in prob 3 weeks they got to me fast. so after my parents friends gave me a hard time for not finishing my marg we decided to leave and i saw tully at a table w kev and friends. now ive been having a rough few weeks so i was suuuuper happy to see tul, but i was also a tiny bit drunk, so i'm sure what i thought was an inside voice came off as yelling to tully (sorry tul) and im sure i made an ass of myself. and then i went home and puked.
that really wasn't a good story. i just wanted to tell you guys because i'm bored.
also i broke up with my boyfriend! looong story. ill save it for another time.
im happy you guys are having such a good time!
talk to you soon!
love, kris

ReplyDeletehaha sorry, i was trying to keep mine slightly PG. i told kate from the beginning we should have a friends blog and a family blog, and with kristin telling such good stories we just might have to! i don't want competition on my own blog!
ReplyDeletekris-hilarious, i'm sure tul was absolutely delighted haha, and can you email me the break up story? i wanna stay updated!
Dear Erin,
ReplyDeleteDid u hear Julie got her appendix out?!?! I also got mine out when i was about her age. so did my Grandpa D. and my Uncle Dave. I guess it runs in the family. But she doesn't have a huge scar, just 3 little ones. (they went through her belly button) Sorry if i grossed u out! She is recovering and i have a funny story.(well maybe not 2 funny, u kinda had 2 be there, i wasn't) The doctor said she couldn't ride any thing and in the winter we keep our bikes and scooters in the basements. Julie went downstairs w/ mom when she was talking 2 my dad. and Julie was feeling extra good that day and she saw the scooters. my mom went over 2 the washing machine 2 do laundry and Julie started riding the scooter around the basement(it has a concrete floor) She was trying 2 get my mom's attention she couldn't so she honked the bike horn really loudly and my dad says what the heck was that?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! Well i have 2 go Elizabeth has 2 do homework.
Love,
Jackie
Erin I am glad to hear that things are going well. I was worried about your waitressing skills but it seems like you got it down. :) I wish we could come and visit you. It would be fun. Thanks for the address. I will try to send you something.
ReplyDeleteOh and Josh is getting big. I will have to post pics to facebook soon. He also has a new favorite word and that is NO. He says NO to everything.
Love you.
