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 [...]

Another sign we’re not “growing up”

1 June, 2010 (23:13) | family, nerd stuff | By: Gina

After dinner on Sunday, my sisters and I decided that the best way to celebrate Michelle’s 21st birthday (and all of us finally being legal drinking age) would be to take a trip to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and drink butterbeer!  It’s not til November but because of busy schedules and work, we’ve [...]

My dad!

7 April, 2010 (18:52) | family | By: Gina

Dad received the bad news abruptly last week that his grandmother in Vietnam, age 103, had passed away.  He called me sobbing (I couldn’t understand what he was saying at first and was quite scared he was hurt himself), told me, and then called his brothers to break the news to them too.  My grandpa, [...]

Ye Olde Times

I hope we don’t get horribly sick from staying outside all afternoon at the medieval fair today in the cold, wind, and rain…  It was still a lot of fun though!

Daddy-o!

4 March, 2010 (20:54) | family | By: Gina

My dad seems to be feeling quite a bit better after his second trip to the cath lab.  He said he no longer has that heavy feeling in his chest, but he does still occasionally feel a little short of breath when he’s done working out (but I feel that way too…)  He also told [...]

Woohoo, a 3 day weekend!

26 February, 2010 (23:54) | family, home | By: Gina

Thanks to the call trade, I get to enjoy a 3 day weekend this weekend!  After getting some sleep this morning, the day was filled with shopping, dinner, dessert, and The Hangover.  Our “shoe-shopping” trip resulted in a jacket purchase, we ate way too much at dinner because of the awesome fresh guacamole, and then [...]

My dad

24 February, 2010 (20:33) | family | By: Gina

Back in October or November, my dad complained of some heaviness in his chest and (thankfully) actually listened to me when I said he needed to see his doctor.  Some EKGs, stress-testing, and imaging later, he ended up at St. Anthony’s for a trip to their cath lab and ended up getting stented in November.  [...]

Driving like lost teenagers

18 February, 2010 (22:06) | family, friends | By: Gina

Evan and I were in Jasmine’s car with her tonight and had some time to kill while waiting for my sister and her boyfriend, so we decided to drive around a bit.  Literally…in a tiny parking lot.  We just sorta meandered around the lot, making figure 8s and random, sometimes snarky, comments about the decor [...]

An impromtu girls’ day!

12 February, 2010 (20:08) | family, home | By: Gina

My sisters happened to be free this afternoon so they came up after class/work/meetings to hang out for a bit before we all went out to dinner together with the boys.  It was a lot of fun…except for how sleepy we all were by the time we left for dinner and how, at 8pm, we’ve [...]

Yay, normal-ish hours!

3 February, 2010 (22:21) | family, home | By: Gina

After a very long final day on wards, I get to enjoy an elective month with easy hours, a couple weekends off, and most importantly, lots of free time to spend with everyone. First, more furniture shopping with Evan.  We want a sectional for the living room.  More room to cuddle together and more room [...]

What a long day…

16 January, 2010 (20:32) | family, home | By: Gina

After enjoying a fun girls’ night last night at Rachna’s place, I wasn’t able to fall asleep at a reasonable hour before coming into work this morning.  Since our team admitted last night, we were super busy today and I didn’t get home til after 2pm. I was tired and hungry, but today’s the only [...]

I need a girls’ day out soon

8 January, 2010 (19:10) | family | By: Gina

I took a quick mall trip with Jasmine and Ajla after work today and it made me realize how long it’s been since my sisters and I had a chance to go shopping and hang out.  Unfortunately, because of my work schedule, it’ll be next weekend at the earliest.  So…they better start clearing their calendars [...]

Wow

7 January, 2010 (19:22) | family, residency | By: Gina

Wards have been great so far this month and I don’t think that’s gonna change.  My interns are great, the other wards teams are supportive and helpful, and we all work well together.  The best thing is that Erin and I have been abusing the batphones as walkie-talkies to find each other to chat in [...]

Mmm, Laredo’s

18 December, 2009 (23:09) | family | By: Gina

After work today, Michelle, Anna, and Bryan came up to the condo to meet up with me and Evan and we all went out to dinner together at Laredo’s.  The place was the busiest I’ve seen it yet and I think the food gets better and better every time we go.  Since it was more [...]

Family time!

9 December, 2009 (21:10) | family | By: Gina

I headed to my mom’s after taking a nap today (I needed one after clinic…) and my sisters and I finally got the chance to catch up.  We had dinner together, chatted about stupid things, and had a grand ol’ time.  Unfortunately next week is their finals week, so I don’t think we’ll be hanging [...]
