Wine and Love v5


Wine:
  • Coming down with a cold last Friday.  Not so great timing for that.  Better last weekend than this coming weekend, but still...  Super annoying.
  • Stress. 
  • Going to home improvement stores, like Home Depot.  I despise going to places like this, but it was a necessary evil as I have a few projects to complete before moving out.
Love: 
  • All this CFA craziness will be over after Saturday.  I'll be celebrating with my parents and aunt & uncle on Saturday night.  I think a lot of margaritas will be consumed (well, by me, maybe not by the others!)!
  • I got to help my nephew celebrate his 6th birthday yesterday!!
  • My new iPhone!  There are some things I miss about my blackberry (like having an actual keyboard - I don't like the touch screen keyboard), but I do love my new phone.  And access to great aps, like Words With Friends - my user name is ldotz - look me up if you have this ap! 
  • Organizing my closet during my study break this weekend.  It was nice to do something that made me feel 'in control'.  And my closet looks fantastic right now.
This is my last post until after the CFA.  I'll likely take a couple of days off next week to bask in the fact that I no longer have this test looming over me.  Oh, and I won't be able to tell you if I passed or not - I will find out in 2 months.  I think they must send our test results to some remote grading location by way of a carrier pigeon or something because that is an exorbitantly long time to wait for test results.

Wish me luck!  Have a great weekend everyone!

    Okay first off, HOORAY for the CFA being done soon! You're going to rock it, and you should definitely drink many margaritas then sleep in (I'm talking 10, 11 AM) Sunday morning!

    Text or call me if you need to vent/cry about stress before the test! (And I just started a words with friends game with you!)

    YAYYY for the CFA being over in 2 days! Wahoooo!
    It is pretty hilarious they make you wait 2 months though, I mean c'mon! But at least you can be relaxing in 2 months! Also, we need to connect on the whatsapp or whatever it is that I talk to Amber on, I already miss BBMing with you. Also scared of the touch screen when I get my iphone.

    Good luck this weekend-your hard work is about to pay off. Just so you know, the certificate you get is huge-I got J's framed for him, and it was pricey!! Hah, save up some cash! Just relax, you'll do great! And then enjoy those margaritas! Have an extra in my honor!

    I know you will do well on your CFA, and what a relief it will be for you. Congratulations on the move, you will like being closer to work and all the opportunities of downtown. I know you won't miss that commute, especially after this past winter.

    Wishing you lots and lots of luck! I kind of hope that I get a phone call or messages on Saturday night during the consumption of margaritas. I'll raise a glass to you from afar :)

    Hope the cold goes away soon; they always have the *worst* timing.

    And if this SIM card thing doesn't fix my phone problem? I'll be getting an iPhone too!

    I'm sooooo happy for you that the CFA will be over and done with! (At least until the results arrive!) Live it up and celebrate! I'll even have my OWN Margarita in honor of you this weekend :)

    I'm so happy for you that you're moving to the new apartmnet and that a *new* chapter of your life is about to begin :) I cannot wait to see what adventures lie ahead for you :)

    It took me a while to get used the keyboard on my Android, but eventually it feels natural. Sort of.

    Good luck this weekend ... I'll be thinking of ya!

    I'll have to check out that app. I love my iphone. It took me awhile to get used to the touchscreen as well.
    and.... Best of luck on Sat! I will make sure to have a drink in your honor for completing the test as well. Miss you!

    That is so bizarre it takes 2 months to get results! That's crazy for these times! That kind of lines up with the craziness of your 6 hour lunch break on Saturday. Okay, it's not 6...but it will most likely feel like that!

    I wish we could be there Saturday night to celebrate with you, Lisa! I'm so excited for you!!!!!

    Multiple margaritas are a must.

    Home Depot drives me nuts. I wish I could disguise myself as a man so the sales associates don't treat me like an idiot.
