Just a Neat Read
Big thanks to someone from the adoption boards for posting this; I thought it was really cool.

Deciding to have a baby is like planning a trip to Australia. You’ve heard it’s a wonderful place; you’ve read many guidebooks and feel certain that you’re ready to [...]
Well, I Did It
I’m a PMP…. woo hoo! If you’re taking the exam, make sure you know the 42 processes inside and out. Don’t waste your time memorizing their order and ITTOs. You need to know them. This exam is no joke.
