I doubt I'll be able to make that, since I'm moving two days prior, but I'll let you know.
I just read The minutiae of the moment and I know how you feel. I can go days without even thinking about diabetes and it's complications and then there are days were I want to give up and end up in my basketball coach's office in tears. I had one of those days last night as a matter of fact. Keep trucking. I'm here, they're here, he's here, you're hear.
(Raising my hand for March 11)
I'll be there--remind me the time and the location (lobby of the Children's Museum, is it?) again...
Kerri -- are you planning to go to Oscar Night? Just curious.
I am in for the 11th -- just get me the details when you can.

Count 5 of us for the 11th.
Last year's Oscar Event was a good time. Great silent auction items and as always an excuse for the girls to dress up and impress!!!! Chiazza is a great spot - 12 minutes from downtown Providence. Hope some of you can make it - support DIABETES fundraising in the middle of the winter!!!
Ocsar night America was great. I had so much fun last year. I've got my dress already and my shoe's too,I am so excited. I ove the Oscar's and it's fun to watch them in a group, particularly because you know you are helping a worthy cause. Come out and join us! Hope to see you there!
