The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

16 November, 2010 (20:58) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

For those of you I haven’t gushed about my trip to in person, here’s the quick and dirty.  It.  Was.  Awesome!  We flew to Orlando on Friday (Jasmine and I were both post-call) and witnessed Michelle throwing out her back in the airport.  We arrived at the hotel, bemoaned being ready to go to the [...]

Our bellies…

13 November, 2010 (18:27) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

We all ate and drank way more than we should in The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, but it was so worth it.  Butterbeer is amazing!  Pictures coming when we get home

We made it to Orlando!

12 November, 2010 (22:43) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

After a long and arduous day, we’ve finally arrived at our hotel.  We were starving and tired, so we ordered some good ol’ Pizza Hut for our first meal here.  Next, we’re just going to rest up for a pretty busy day a Universal Studios (and Harry Potter World). In preparation for her 21st birthday, [...]

Nice and sunny weather

9 November, 2010 (20:08) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

We fly out for Orlando Friday afternoon (aka about as immediately post-call as possible with enough time to do some last-minute packing and to drop the dog off) and arrive Friday evening.  Saturday, when it’s expected to be cold and dreary here, Evan, Jasmine, my sisters, Bryan, and I will be busy enjoying beautiful, mid-70s, [...]

Another long call night

6 November, 2010 (23:13) | family, residency | By: Gina

For the second time during residency I’ve found myself on call at the end of Daylight Saving Time, so I get to work an extra hour.  And then OU loses their game. However, I’m actually looking forward to going to Orlando in less than a week!  Woohoo!

Starting another week of nights

30 October, 2010 (20:46) | family, residency | By: Gina

I’m definitely feeling burned out on wards, but there’s still another week of nights to go.  Luckily I’m with good people all week and it always goes by more quickly than I expect it to.  Then I have clinic next month.  At least it’s good hours, right? PLUS, we have our trip to THE WIZARDING [...]

My parents

16 October, 2010 (22:06) | family | By: Gina

Are crazy. Completely and totally crazy. If you’ve heard me talk about them the past month or so, you’ll know why. Also, I love Dad for sending me random texts while at work that say, “Lego midi-scale Star Destroyer on sale at Walmart for $39.97.”

Anna!

24 September, 2010 (21:53) | family | By: Gina

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 [...]

Woohoo!

18 September, 2010 (23:19) | family, friends | By: Gina

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 [...]

Someone needs to rethink her priorities…

15 September, 2010 (20:38) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

Now, I dislike it as much as the next person when I drop and scratch my phone, but Michelle has taken it to a whole new level.  She has a Blackberry Torch (the new one from AT&T with a slide-out QWERTY keyboard) and she loves it.  She sent me a text today that says, very [...]

The planner’s M.I.A.!

10 August, 2010 (20:19) | family, wedding | By: Gina

I’ve emailed and texted Michelle about the wedding more than I care to admit today, and I have yet to hear back from her about any of it!  Where is she?  What if she’s fed up with me?  What if she decided I’m too hopeless to deal with anymore???  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Eh hem… I’ve narrowed down [...]

Mmmm, sushi!

6 August, 2010 (22:05) | family, wedding | By: Gina

Evan and I went out with my family tonight to Tokyo to celebrate our engagement and had a wonderful time.  Now I just need to remind Evan to call his family so we can go out to eat with them too.  Eventually we’ll need to have a get-together with both sides of the family, but [...]

Oh Dad…

4 August, 2010 (19:44) | family, wedding | By: Gina

After Evan proposed Monday, I took a picture of my ring on my hand and sent it to my parents and sisters with a little note explaining why my hand was so red (seriously, just 3 sips of champagne).  Mom, Anna, and Michelle got it right off, but Dad simply asked if that was the [...]

Dad – 1, Acura – 0

27 July, 2010 (22:07) | family | By: Gina

Over the weekend, Dad asked me and my sisters when we’d be free to trek up to the Acura dealership in Edmond with him.  We all decided on Monday, so off we went yesterday…Dad, Evan, my sisters, and me.  He wanted a black RDX with AWD and without the navigation system and they only had [...]

Finally, a much-needed day off (T minus 363!)

3 July, 2010 (23:08) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

My day off isn’t until tomorrow, but that meant I was able to go out tonight for a movie and dinner.  AND Michelle finally got to see the car! Now to go play some LEGO Harry Potter and rest before playing some more tomorrow
