The bad thing about growing up

5 November, 2010 (21:54) | friends, residency | By: Gina

There’s been quite a bit of talk at work lately about what those of us who’re graduating plan to do after residency.  It’s a fun and exciting time, but I realized this evening that I may never see some of these people again.  (Ajla helpfully reminded us that she’ll be back to take boards in [...]

Pumpkin ecstasy

27 October, 2010 (20:32) | friends, residency | By: Gina

I made a pumpkin dessert dish last night and brought it to work today.   Its name causes lots of giggles and jokes (yes, we’re that mature).   Paul, who’s in the PICU with The Big G this week, painted a pretty funny picture of himself high on the drug, acting buddy-buddy with the attending. [...]

Cheever’s or Deep Fork?

14 October, 2010 (21:34) | friends | By: Gina

It’s down to these two restaurants for the reception, and I have no idea which I want.  I thought I’d picked Deep Fork but after going there for lunch with Dr. Adler and the rest of the Red Team, I’m torn.  I think the only way to decide is by eating a few more times [...]

Woohoo!

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 [...]

Mmm, delicious food…

16 September, 2010 (21:02) | friends | By: Gina

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 [...]

Almost done!

11 September, 2010 (21:59) | friends | By: Gina

I’ve been hard at work on Stephanie’s baby blanket and it’s nearly complete!  I knew her due date was late September, but I don’t think I realized until yesterday just how quickly it was coming up.  Then Adrienne’s baby blanket, then Imran’s, and then all the hats and scarves from last year I never got [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Bye Uday…

We’ll miss you!

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 [...]

Dreaming about work…

10 June, 2010 (19:41) | friends, residency | By: Gina

Every time I have a dream about work, I kind of feel like it’s a waste of precious sleeping time.  Today, during my nap prior to my ER shift, for some reason I dreamt that I was in clinic and Jasmine and Adrienne were there with me.  Nothing particularly impressive happened…we were just in clinic [...]

Happy birthday, Ajla!

28 May, 2010 (23:39) | friends | By: Gina

I’m glad you showed up late and missed how long it took everyone to figure out how to sit together…

Yummy eclairs!

22 May, 2010 (23:52) | friends | By: Gina

Evan and I went to Jasmine’s to hang out with her a couple of her old friends (Tricia and Nancy, plus Annie later), and Kelly, and they cooked us tons of good food.  The best food item was definitely the eclairs that sounded like they were quite a bit of work.  They were a wonderful [...]

I ate way too much! (Again!)

Happy birthday, Azif!  Hope you had as much fun at dinner as I did!

Way too full…

7 May, 2010 (22:44) | friends, residency | By: Gina

Visiting our family friend in the hospital every day has resulted in me being somewhat overfed by his mom.  She thinks  the hospital food here is terrible so when she sees me visiting at dinner time, she won’t let me get away without eating at least a little home-cooked something.  (Lucky for me, I’m on [...]
