Month: August, 2010

One thing (out of many) done!

31 August, 2010 (21:03) | wedding | By: Gina

The contract was signed today for our reception, so it’s official!  June 18th, 2011 at the Chesapeake Boathouse.  This week and next we’re meeting with bakers and caterers to figure out who will make our cake and who will be providing a delicious meal for everyone.  Then we’ll need to figure out music, decorations, invitations, [...]

Moira’s Misadventures

30 August, 2010 (20:58) | the dog | By: Gina

The roofing guys have been hard at work since the middle of last week on the condos here and I think Moira is having a mini nervous breakdown from it.  She’s watching the windows and patio door even more closely than she usually does, barks when she hears doors closing, and starts every time something’s [...]

Shopping…with Evan?

28 August, 2010 (20:48) | home, shopping | By: Gina

To my complete and utter surprise, Evan agreed to go clothes shopping with me.  I’d gotten a coupon for 30% off to use at Gap and its affiliates that was only good for this weekend, so we had to go today while I was post-call.  After a delicious breakfast, we headed out.  I stumbled around [...]

Ah, the PICU

27 August, 2010 (23:48) | residency | By: Gina

I’ve worked harder since getting here at 5pm than I had all month.  So why do I love this place again?  What’s wrong with me???

Totally shameless plug

26 August, 2010 (20:11) | friends | By: Gina

For those of you (ahem, Jasmine) who enjoy ordering cupcakes for our semi-impromptu get-togethers and birthday celebrations, I’d like to direct you to my friend Liza’s start-up home business, Daisy Cups Cupcakes.  I’ve been drooling over the pics she’s posted on Facebook for a long time now but had no idea until tonight that she’s [...]

Harry Potter

25 August, 2010 (23:12) | entertainment | By: Gina

I finished rereading the series a day or two ago and very wisely spent my evening reading the HP Lexicon to see what JK Rowling said everyone ended up doing after the end of the books.  I probably bored poor Evan with minute details that were revealed in various web chats and interviews, but I [...]

Completed in 3 days!

24 August, 2010 (20:01) | friends, home | By: Gina

Here is Uday and Minal’s baby blanket! I’m currently working on Stephanie’s, since she’s the next one due, and then Adrienne’s, and finally Imran’s.  I’m glad I asked Imran today and found out he was having a boy…I’d just assumed he was having a girl like everyone else.  Now I’ll know to not buy him [...]

Moira’s Misadventures

23 August, 2010 (20:00) | the dog | By: Gina

For some reason, Moira has taken to curling up at Evan’s feet on the bed when we go to sleep at night.  I’m not exactly jealous, but…why???  He doesn’t want her there, and I want her on MY side.  Goofy dog

So dependent…

21 August, 2010 (22:34) | technology | By: Gina

Friday afternoon, our internet and landline went out.  The phone really wasn’t a big deal since Evan and I both have cell phones (sort of, EVAN), but not having internet access turned out to be much worse than I realized.  I was unable to order Uday’s baby stuff online, I couldn’t look up stuff on [...]

More yarn!

20 August, 2010 (22:15) | shopping | By: Gina

Adrienne gave me a little bit of the fabric she’s using for her nursery and Stephanie told me what colors she’s using to decorate hers, so I went to my favorite yarn store today to get enough to make their blankets as well as Uday’s. After spending nearly an hour and a half there, I [...]

Busy weekend ahead!

19 August, 2010 (18:40) | home | By: Gina

We’re having dinner at Castle Falls tomorrow (no worries…I’m not really gonna dress like a crazy person), checking out the Chesapeake Boathouse and the OK History Center Saturday, and then having dinner with our families (together!) Sunday evening. So to get ready for all that wedding-related stuff, I’m…uh…going to bed super early tonight.  Apparently staying [...]

Poor, embarrassed Evan

18 August, 2010 (19:35) | home | By: Gina

Castle Falls called back today to confirm our dinner reservation.  Evan was worried he’d have to wear a tie and jacket, so I figured I’d ask about the dress code when they called back.  Luckily the said it’s “casual,” and we can wear whatever we want.  Initially, I thought I’d wear something a little nicer. [...]

Wedding reception ideas

17 August, 2010 (22:01) | wedding | By: Gina

On Saturday, we’re going to go take a look at the Chesapeake Boathouse and the Oklahoma History Center.  If Castle Falls would ever call me back, Evan and I plan to have dinner there sometime so we can check out the location and the food too.  Any other ideas, anyone?  What’s a reasonable price range [...]
