Gina Bean!

Why are they so complicated?  All this reading to review basic renal physiology is wearing me out!

Evan and I decided the best way to not waste the white chocolate we had remaining after making cakeballs was to make Lego minifig candy!

Hmm, the title of this post makes the two sound as though they’re somehow related, but they’re not… Evan and I dropped Moira off at Camp Bow Wow for her interview today.  On our way out of our condos, Moira was shivering with excitement and we actually had to stop and let her out so [...]

Tomorrow is Moira’s interview with Camp Bow Wow and I’m starting to feel pretty nervous!  Hopefully she’s not the doggy equivalent of a sociopath or something terrible like that…

No pics here…Michelle did post a couple on Facebook though! On Wednesday, Jasmine and I smashed up 2 red velvet cakes to make cake balls.  I got 45 roughly quarter-sized balls out of mine, and she made 28 larger ones.  We laughed at the size difference, were saddened by how difficult it was for our [...]

Today’s Anna’s birthday, and it sounds as though she’s doing something each day this weekend to celebrate.  Dinner with the boy on her actual birthday, hanging out with the girls Saturday, and then a big family day for her birthday Sunday.  And cake balls for Sunday!  Or maybe for Saturday, depending on what happens to [...]

I think residency rotations would actually work best if they were only 3 weeks long.  One of the biggest things I’ve learned about myself in these 2+ years so far is that I really enjoy whatever rotation I’m on (with an exception or two) for the first 3 weeks, and then I get really bored [...]

I found a better website today to look at the large variety of apartments available in other cities, and I’m totally hooked.  I’ve spent my entire night looking at floor plans and thinking up ways I’d decorate everything.  There’s one place in Denver called the SugarCube.  It’s completely out there and there are way too [...]

After looking up the costs of living in the cities we might move to for fellowship, I’ve become a little obsessed with looking for affordable, nice apartments within a reasonable driving distance to the various hospitals.  We won’t be moving for over a year and a half still, but it’s been fun finding out what [...]

Samantha has talked quite a bit about Camp Bow Wow, the doggy daycare her Maggie goes to while she’s at work, and I started thinking it might be a good idea to see if we can get Moira enrolled there too.  We have a few trips coming up and it seems likely most of the [...]

I completed both Stephanie’s and Adrienne’s baby blankets tonight!  I’ll knock out Imran’s baby blanket this upcoming week, and then I’ll get to work on the Hogwarts scarves for our trip to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter And, of course, I will finish Michelle’s scarves from last year.  And all the other hats and [...]

Today’s been one of those days that, through no one person’s fault, has been crappy and miserable.  I didn’t feel as organized as I would like, I was missing some of the simplest things, and one of the families I discharged was rather unhappy as they were leaving.  Then, right after getting checkout in the [...]

A small group of us went out to eat at a Persian restaurant called “Travel by Taste” today and we were all pleasantly, wonderfully surprised at how all the food was.  We all ate more than we should, laughed a ton, and (probably) overstayed our welcome.  (The restaurant closed at 8 and we left around [...]
