More good-byes

30 June, 2010 (20:07) | residency | By: Gina

Ami had a little end-of-residency party in the lounge today and most of her classmates were able to show up for a few minutes to hug, laugh, and enjoy some brownies before heading back to work.  I’m sad to see them go (most of them will actually still be around, which is great), but I’m [...]

The new car!

29 June, 2010 (21:45) | home | By: Gina

After a couple very annoying weeks of back-and-forth with the car dealership, Evan and I were able to drive off the lot (on his birthday!) in our new car.  Check it out! And Evan took a pic of my car too, just because.  Sigh…it’s so pretty…

Maybe they’ve gotten it right this time

26 June, 2010 (23:52) | home | By: Gina

The car dealership called on Thursday to tell me that they’ve located the car we’re looking for, but it will have ~300 miles on it by the time it arrives.  I asked why, since they told us it would be brought in by trailer.  The guy stumbles a bit, asks his boss, and then tells [...]

Bye Uday…

We’ll miss you!

Waaaay too much Chex mix

24 June, 2010 (17:12) | home, the dog | By: Gina

I had some free time today before heading back in for a 7pm-7am ER shift, so I decided I’d make some chex mix to bring along with me.  The first time I made the stuff, Evan and I divided the batch in halves to take to our families for separate get-togethers.  The second time, Evan, [...]

All alone!

23 June, 2010 (18:46) | family, friends | By: Gina

Evan left this morning to head to his Dad’s for the rest of the week.  He won’t be back til Sunday, and I already miss him.  I have no idea what I’m gonna do with myself while he’s gone. Well, okay…that’s not totally true.  Jasmine’s heading over in a bit to watch True Blood, I’m [...]

Still no car!

22 June, 2010 (22:19) | home | By: Gina

The car we wanted wasn’t available at the dealership, so they had to trade with another dealership.  Unfortunately, the car they got had hail damage (!!!) and they weren’t told about it and didn’t notice it until Evan pointed it out to them when we went to look at the car.  They were very apologetic, [...]

Imagine seeing this face with a little dollop of whipped cream on her nose… Irresistible.

Toy Story 3

19 June, 2010 (23:54) | entertainment | By: Gina

Evan and I went with Anna and Michelle to see Toy Story 3 yesterday, and it was easily one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long, long time.  Pixar is amazing and I highly recommend it to everyone.

We’ve done it!

18 June, 2010 (21:20) | shopping | By: Gina

Evan and I went to the car dealership today and are getting the car!  The one we want wasn’t available on the lot, so we’ll have to wait til Monday or Tuesday to actually finalize all the papers and drive it home.  I feel so adult!

Ugh…

17 June, 2010 (23:15) | home | By: Gina

What was a fun, productive day at work has turned into a very, very frustrating day at home.  Dealing with car loans, car salesmen, and car insurance is something I’ll pay someone else to do after I win the lottery.  (Okay, I won’t need the loans if I win the lottery.  There’s still the salesmen [...]

The case report

16 June, 2010 (23:44) | residency | By: Gina

I’ve signed on to do some pharmacy research this month with the awesome PICU pharmacist, Pete.  He’s sort of overseeing a case report the pharmacy resident Emily and I are working on together, and today we went over our first draft.  I’ve never tried to publish anything before, so this has all been very new [...]
