Go to the Fredericton Hospital and have something removed

Honestly this was never on my list of things to do in this fine city.  (But since I did it - you know I am totally adding it to the list!!!!!   (smiley face if I knew how to make one on a blog ..... )

In fact this was not on any list I could ever have for any city I could ever live it.

In fact I would never wish appendix problems on my worst enemy ... or wait ... that girl who pulled my hair in grade one deserves one ...   jokes-ish

So I think it is fair to say that I survived my first and only appendectomy.  I have never experienced so much pain before and hope to never again (and yes my mom friends I realize I am being a wimp!!)  I had the most random experience in the Fredericton hospital - was very happy to jump the line for an elevated white blood cell count -which also meant I was elevated for surg,  I felt like a push cushion (and I have the bruises two weeks later to prove it!) and I was so thankful that my wonderful Schwesterchen was able to be with me for the surgery - a 24 hour nurse was amazing. 

I am feeling better every day ... but I also feel really sad as I look down at my tummy - that I will probably never get to be a Victoria's Secret Model.  I came so close ...

Alas ... I am just happy to be feeling so happy and healthy after this weird event. 

Go to a Cinq à sept

I love going out with the Sweetest people ever.  And when they invited me out for drinks after work on Friday, I immediately thought I was being invited to the best thing ever ... a Cinq à sept.  I have been out for drinks in Freddy before on a Friday, but often they start at sept, which makes me believe that someone is enjoying the main party from 5-7 without me!!

Well, low and behold ... I did get to experience a cinq à sept - or more like a Cinq à dix (when I finally made it home). We did manage to drink the keg of Rolling Rock dry (other people must have helped us) and enjoyed a wonderful dinner, even though I will forever wonder what the veggie burrito would have tasted like!

I did hear French from the Bucks to my right so I though the cultural evening was complete.  A great way to cap off a great first week back!!
