Tax time

5 February, 2011 (22:06) | home | By: Gina

I finally got my W2 in the mail and finished filing my taxes for 2010.  I was able to do it pretty easily since there were no real changes between 2010 and the year before, but I’m afraid Evan and I may have to have some help filing next year, especially if his book sells. [...]

The cold and snowy outdoors

4 February, 2011 (23:12) | home | By: Gina

After staying in all week, except for going to work Thursday, Evan and I plan to venture out of the house tomorrow to pick up a few more groceries and to run a couple errands.  The Rogue is sooooo much better on the ice and snow than the 350Z or the Mustang ever were, and [...]

Mmm, homemade bread

3 February, 2011 (21:09) | home | By: Gina

I came home from my final ER shift for the month to find a couple golden loaves of French bread baking in the oven, thanks to the best fiance ever.  While waiting for it to finish up, I made some honey butter to go with it and grabbed a slice of bread as soon as [...]

Snowpocalypse!

2 February, 2011 (14:43) | home, residency | By: Gina

My clinic was canceled this morning, which has resulted in something very, very rare for me.  I worked the two night shifts this weekend in the ED and have one day shift tomorrow…and that’s it until I start wards on Monday.  That means that in 9 days, I’ll end up working a total of 36 [...]

SNOW DAY!

1 February, 2011 (19:24) | family, home, the dog | By: Gina

After spending about 15 minutes bundling ourselves up, Evan and I got the ol’ harness on Moira and took her outside.  It was much, much colder than when we took her out in the snow last year, but she still seemed to enjoy it (at first anyway).  She started shivering a little when she was [...]

Very exciting times!

26 January, 2011 (22:52) | home | By: Gina

Evan’s book is almost done (I’m working on the final read-through now), and his query letter is finished as well.  He and I have been combing through lists and lists of agents to see who seems like they’d be a good fit, and he’ll be contacting them this week!  This is so, very different from [...]

Wow, that was fast

21 January, 2011 (22:01) | home | By: Gina

I woke up this morning with a stuffy nose and sore throat, and now I have full-blown body aches and chills along with the congestion and lightheadedness.  Here’s hoping it goes away just as quickly…

First snow day of the season!

20 January, 2011 (20:32) | home | By: Gina

After sleeping in until the unthinkably late hour of 8am today since I didn’t have work, I opened the blinds to see a light dusting of snow on the grass outside and quickly found out schools were mostly closed in the area.  Evan and I were planning to run some errands today, but we took [...]

Free weekend!

8 January, 2011 (08:20) | home | By: Gina

I get a nice, wonderful weekend off after having a pretty crazy night in the ED on Friday.  Hanging out with friends and family and catching up on sleep are all I really plan on doing.  And dreaming of having a real job soon!

Boomer Sooner!

1 January, 2011 (21:29) | home | By: Gina

Because I’m old, I’m going to watch the game while lying in bed.  I know I will likely doze off long before the game is over, but that’s a risk I’ll have to take since I have to be back at work at 7am tomorrow.  Here’s hoping we kick butt tonight!

Wedding planning in baby steps

29 December, 2010 (21:58) | home | By: Gina

I’ve given Evan the task of designing our wedding invitations.  He and I agreed on the text for it ages ago, but he’s now looking into making it a bit more personal.  I know he’ll do a good job, but I also am anxious to see what he decides to do (and anxious to start [...]

An even better way to be nerdy!

23 December, 2010 (20:02) | family, home | By: Gina

Evan’s had his desktop computer hooked up to the TV for some time now for Netflix movie watching (before the Wii app was out).  Tonight he’s figured out the appropriate settings on his PC so he can play those games on our TV as well.  After hanging out with my sisters this afternoon, relaxing on [...]

Another peak into our conversations

21 December, 2010 (23:08) | friends, home | By: Gina

Whenever I come across names I like, or names I find extra-nerdy (sometimes they’re the same thing), I run them by Evan as possible names for our kids later on.  We don’t plan on having kids for another 4-5 years or so, but hey, we’ve been together nearly 10 years.  Most of the time I [...]

Michelle asked once what Evan and I talk about after being together for 10 years

18 December, 2010 (21:41) | home | By: Gina

Last night, I found an old picture of Theodore Roosevelt, which lead to a read of his wiki biography.  Being a big fan of history, of course Evan already knew most of the little factoids I read out loud to him, but I finally stumbled upon something he was unfamiliar with.  Roosevelt’s chest x-ray, taken [...]

The holidays are officially here

15 December, 2010 (20:02) | home | By: Gina

Now that I’ve watched Love, Actually this year.  While drinking a delicious vanilla caramel latte, sitting next to Evan, wrapped in one of his jackets.  And with Moira pretending to protect us by occasionally growling at the door.  Life is wonderfully perfect right now.
