Okay, so first update...my grandmother is doing much better! She's been transferred out of the hospital and is now back at her nursing home. Yaaaaay! My aunt Noreen was here till Friday morning, which was nice. I hadn't seen her in years, so it was good to spend some time with her (not a lot though, I was working crazy hours at Old Navy this week!)
Now...onto fun news! I'm going to Toronto!!! Some of my girls online are having a sleepover and I totally wanted to go. So, Art bought me a plane ticket! I haven't been to Toronto for 3 years now...and with the impending move to Florida, who knows when I'll be able to go again. So I'm off to the big T.dot for the weekend of June 3rd! :)
Which lead me to an important note: I have officially made the first weekend in June my girls getaway weekend! Last year I spent that weekend with my girls in Montreal and this year I'll be spending it with the girls in Toronto! Waaaa-hoooo! I'm totally excited to see the city again, to do some shopping, to meet everyone....and to hit Wonderland on the Sunday! I haven't been to Wonderland since we lived in Toronto in 1999, so that's going to be a blast!!!!!
And now off for my Sunday fun: I'm going for a tan to visit Sarah....and give her the souveniers I got her in Europe, as well as a little present I got her....one of our sorority tote bags! Then it's home to watch Desperate Housewives...haven't seen anything since just before I left for Europe!

My weekend...not so good...
So Friday night my grandmother had a mild heart attack. I found out Saturday morning when I got up to go to work, my mom had to go to the hospital at 1am. She's doing better now, she's sitting up in bed and eating a bit, but she's still in the ICU.
So we've spent the weekend back and forth to the Dartmouth General. It hasn't been too fun. But, we did get to surprise my mom today with a brunch. Hash browns, sausages, scrambled eggs, pancakes and mimosas! :)
And now we're awaiting the arrival of my aunt Noreen from Ottawa, who's coming in to see my grandmother. I haven't seen her in a few years, so that'll be nice to see her again - though not under these circumstances.

An International traveller I am!
So I know it's been over a week since I returned from Europe with no update...but I have good reason!
On the last Friday of our vacation (April 28th), Art started feeling sick. He had a fever, chills, and diarrhea. We even took him to the emergency room in Piotrkow Trybunalski (the nearest town to where his mom's family lives in rural Poland), who said nothing serious was wrong with him. Upon his return to the US, he went to the hospital there, where it was finally diagnosed that he had salmonella poisoning! By this point (he found out Thursday), both his dad and I had started getting the same symptoms. Jerzy started feeling ill on our flight to Halifax Sunday afternoon....and I started feeling bad overnight on Sunday. So we've all been pretty crappy (pardon the pun!) for a week now.
We blame some goat's cheese we bought and ate from a vendor on the path towards the salt mines outside of Krakow on the Wednesday (April 26th). I now know I'll never be doing that again! Having salmonella poisoning sucks..but the plus side is that I lost 10lbs walking around Europe....and at least another 5-10 since I've been home! Wheee!
Now...on to Europe! It was the best trip I have ever been on to date! :) I have never had so much fun or learned so much or SEEN so many amazing things in such a short period of time! We're working on our pics (well, Art is right now...I'm waiting for the DVD he sent me of the pics)...we took over 600 pics in the 12 days! I don't know how to explain everything I saw and did without making this blog entry so big....so I'll just say (for now), wait for the pics, they'll explain it all for me! :)
For now, here's a few pics of our trip!
One of my personal highlights of London was seeing something Harry Potter related. I'm a *huge* Harry Potter fan...so I made Art and his dad go with me to King's Cross Station to see the display they have for Platform 9 3/4! :)
On our first weekend in Poland, we were in Wroclaw, Art's birthplace. We headed out on the Saturday night (April 22) to the bars with Tomek and Magda. Tomek is Art's godmother Zofia's son and Magda is his girlfriend. While we were there, some local university students were taking pics of the bar patrons, so we made the Polish website! Wheee!
I'll have all my pics up soon, I hope!
