The weather is craptastical, it’s bumming me out, driving me crazy and I've developed a wicked case of cabin fever! And of course, the weather report predicts anywhere between 5 and 10 inches (of snow, sickos - get your minds out of the gutter. Also: that's what she said,) in the next two days.
So for this post, I'm focusing on what I’m looking forward to in the next 14 days to get me through the snow.
######
Daffodils: I need my daffodil fix. Daffodils remind me of spring and my mother and daffodils are resilient. They poke through the snow and show us that nothing is impossible. Daffodils are my favorite - Daffodils personify hope and make me hopeful.
Spring: I’m looking forward to spring and sunshine and seasonal warm weather - I don’t need 80 degrees in March, temps in the high 40s with lots of sunshine and not snowflake in sight would be downright dreamy.

The Diabetes Unconference, next weekend (March 13-15) in Las Vegas.
I’m so freaking excited to attend The Diabetes Unconference - Excited to be surrounded by others “who get it," and who speak the language of diabetes in all dialects.
Being surrounded by other adults with diabetes and regardless of the type - Being part of my amazing D tribe.
Viva PWDs!!

1. Totally agree on daffodils.
2. I will be at the DC JDRF Summit too, and excited to see that Molly McElwee Malloy will be moderating!
3. I will also be at the Diabetes UnConference. Does this mean I'll be in the same place you are on successive weekends? I don't know if I can handle that much excitement.
4. Yay for Cristin.
Yes, yes, yes to everything you mentioned.
But most importantly, I am looking forward to meeting you at the UnConference. Your diabetes family history is so much rockier than mine (my older sister with T1 smokes and eats crap and is doing as well as I am) and I want to give you lots of hugs to keep in reserve for those times when I am 1000 to 2800 miles away from the Jersey shore.
The DUnconference - I've been anxiously awaiting this for weeks, and with the FB page up am so exited my other half is about ready to push me out the door! He didn't want to go unless he could participate, so I'll find a way to get the other halves involved next year!!
Otherwise - NOT looking forward to flying to Jersey the week after :-( Snow = bad! and Brr!!! And that LaGuardia post didn't help :-(
Really looking forward to UnConf in Vegas, but even more-so I'm excited about visiting Michigan and seeing family over the Easter holiday weekend.
I'm currently snowed in as I read this, so right now the only thing I can look forward to is no more freaking snow.
I think many people are ready for spring to arrive. Having said this, the snowpack in the Northeast guarantees we won't have a drought, but out west where a majority of American produce is grown, isn't so lucky! Even Anchorage, Alaska has had record warmth with winter averaging 40 degrees this year and no snow compared to 107 inches (and counting) in Boston this winter.
Anyway, I'm looking forward to meeting up with you and everyone else in Las Vegas next week!! See you there!!
