I survived

What did I survive, you may ask? I survived yet another grueling two months of study and the taking of another part of the CPA exam. I know that it will be so worth it when I can put those initials after my name but the road has been long and weary. I've had to put a lot on hold in my life, mainly stamping and scrapbooking, and am not happy about it. Hopefully, a few more months and I'll be done. You can be sure I'll be back to report, hopefully with great news, when I receive the results of the exam I took this morning.

I'm giving myself a few days off from studying before I dive into the next part. However, I do want to take it just 8 weeks from today so I can't procrastinate too long. I figure that I am owed some time in my basement, though. I'm hoping to get a couple of layouts done tomorrow along with my Christmas card for the week for Sparkle's challenge.

Our New Year's was a good one. We partied with several friends and had a good time. I ate too much, of course. It was a great time and I had a good time ringing in the new year. I've been thinking about resolutions but haven't really gotten serious about any yet because I don't want to feel bad when it's only two weeks into January and I've already broken the resolutions.

There are lots of things I want to accomplish and do better at but I think I'll just keep plugging along and do the best that I can do. If I improve in areas of my life, then great. If not, I'll keep trying.

I hope that your New Year's celebration was a good one and that you are blessed in the year 2009.
