Test Prep

I just finished my final preparations for my 2 day test at work
{10:30 pm}
for an additional certification.
I have a love/hate relationship with this certification.
I wanta/need to pass it so I don't have to take the 3 day class again,
{and let's be honest, I don't want my pride to be hurt},
but I don't really wanna pass it 'cause it just means that I get
more "difficult"/not so easy claims.

I took the first 1/2 {short answer with lotsa application with lotsa scenarios} today.
It was pretty dang hard!
Not really sure how I did.
Just 4 more hours of testing tomorrow
and then
I WILL BE DONE!
{BIG, HUGE sigh of relief}

And then I'll sit and wait
for my results
in 90 days!
{reminds me of the SAT/ACT days}!

Then I can party like it's '99 again!

Let the Christmas season begin!

Wish me luck!

Football

Saturday I went to the USC v ASU football game.

We went to the tailgate party beforehand with a bunch of alumni.

The band and the cheerleaders giving the pep rally.

This cool looking cactus attacked me!
Hundreds of tiny needles nestled themselves in my arm and shirt.
Ouch!

Fight on, Trojans!

The refs and head coaches.
My best attempt at getting a pic of Pete Carroll.
{This one's for Rach.}

Friday night I went to the AZ State Fair with a big group of friends.

The demolition derby before all the demotition!

A few of us fair-goers.
