Late post today, please forgive~

I was feeling a bit stuck on a today’s topic. I’m working on several posts at once and doing the whole day job thing,and I just couldn’t wrap my head around a topic for today.

So I decided to cheat and check the Search Terms in my statcounter and I found my inspiration.

Now most of the search terms I get- for the most part. But ( and no pun intended here..OK, maybe) one search term in particular leaves me scratching my head and wondering W.T.F?

  1. Dr. Oz on Oprah about diabetes: OK, we need to talk, BIG TIME
  2. Diabetesaliciousness: Why hello there, welcome to the diabetesaliciousness of it all~
  3. Roche Diabetes Blogger: I don't blog for Roche, but I did attend the New Media Summit
  4. Diabetesaliciousness: See above
  5. Dear mom and Dad thank you letter: I don't know how they did it, but I'm grateful!
  6. Kelly Kunik: GUILTY~
  7. Gym Locker rooms: Oh no she didn’t! YES, she really did.
  8. Kelly blog insulin pump: Are you talking to me?
  9. Brother caresses buttocks of sister: Yes, REALLY. Can I just say Pirate Girls get a bad rap and this would be where the W.T.F came into play.
  10. Dr Oz and diabetes: Dr. Oz, we need to talk~
  11. Pirate girls kick butt: Why yes indeed, pirate girls absolutely kick butt!
  12. Platypus pictures: God bless the platypus!

A Sneak Peak  Before My JDRF Government Day Post, In The Form of Some Key Phrases & Words ~

After spending the past four days at the JDRF Government Day Program, I'm tired and bleary eyed, and filled with hope and happiness!

I woke up to piles of work and an inbox that's full - And missing the people that I just spent the last four days with very much! DOC/ Diabetes event withdraw is a real bummer!

A detailed post all about the JDRF Government Day experience will appear very soon, but until then, I thought I'd leave you with a sneak peak in the form of some Key phrases & words that keep playing in my head whenever I think of the past four days.
