Ill
I've had a very sick child for the past two weeks. After being diagnosed with pink eye, we have come to be re-diagnosed with allergies, instead. I absolutely loathe giving my child anything (especially medicines) that are unnecessary. So, needless to say, I was PISSED to learn we had been treating the wrong issue. But at least now we know. Zyrtec will be our staple for a few weeks.
Now I am starting to feel ill.
As for my jury duty, I purchased a book: A Killer's Kiss, by William Lashner. I read the first few pages while at the book store. It was interesting enough for me to purchase it. I hope it will be worth the $7. I checked the website for the US District Court, and I have been postponed until Wednesday. I have a feeling I will be released from duty with the holiday (Easter / Good Friday) quickly approaching and considering I've been postponed until Wednesday. I will say this... I am kind of disappointed. I was truly looking forward to being on a trial of some sort.

bored and boring.
From 2005-2006 I froze my tail off because I was in the process of losing 60+ pounds. Today is no different... I am freezing and I need to lose about that much. Since 03/19/09 I'm down 3.06 pounds. Yea me. (_/_)(__)(_\_)
I feel like such a big girl today. I have on heels and I'm studying my CFE exam questions. I've successfully completed two of the four sections. There are a total 1,500 questions and the two sections I've finished totaled: 525. The section I am working on now has 600 questions and I've answered over 250 correctly so far. I would much rather be doing a multitude of other things but I really want to get this exam finished. I won't be able to take the actual exam until I have successfully completed all four section with an 85% or better. So far my average is: 91.5%. I achieved a 94% on the Law section and an 98% on the Criminology section. Currently in the Financial section and I did surprisingly well on the Money Laundering sub-section. :\ There are 21 sub-sections to the Financial section... ugh.
It's required to have three letter's of recommendation. The letters have to reference your morality and must include an anecdote about working with me. I requested letter's from an FBI Special Agent, IRS Fraud Agent and a Business Attorney. My manager has to also write me a letter of recommendation. I received her's last week and OMG! It was a GLOWING recommendation. I was actually left speechless. I have to supply my education and work experience as the required qualifications of a Bachelor's degree (of which I earned in 2006) and time in service (of which was satisfied in December of 2006, but I got pregnant so I put my request to order the prep course on hold).
And here I sit with my exam ticking away while I type this blog. There is a minimum time requirement for the prep course. Once that time has been met I will be eligible to submit my letter's of recommendation, education, time in service and prep course exam information to the ACFE organization. Once verified, they will send to me the necessary password to unlock the actual exam.
Fun times.
Feel free to hit me up on twitter or blip... I get bored with all of the questions and answers that don't always seem to make sense.
I have been called to appear for jury duty next week. I mentioned before, I don't really mind jury duty. I really wish I would get selected for a trial. But since I am actively pursing my Certified Fraud Examiner designation and I've been an employee of the largest health insurance company in the state... I doubt I will be selected. But... How knows? I have to call this Friday to verify I am actually supposed to show up bright and early Monday morning. I will know more details after Friday.

US District Court Juror # 05187609823
yea...tha'd be me.
I've been summoned for jury duty for the US District Court beginning April 6. Failure to appear and I could be held in contempt of court.
I have been called to jury duty more times than any other person I know. Seems like every other year I am summoned. Why? I wasn't born in this state. I've only lived here (on and off) since late 1993. I am a home owner, but so is my husband who, incidentally, WAS born here and has lived here HIS ENTIRE LIFE.
I can't say I am sad to be called because I get a free pass from work and I might get sequestered. That could be kinda fun. There have been some BFD cases on the "V. V." lately. Not that I ever really watch the TV or listen to the news, it's just to sad and depressing for my taste, but we have a several friends in the local Federal Law Enforcement divisions here in town. Specifics are never given, but it's mentioned, in confidence, that "something" is going on.
Who knows? I may get a murder trial, or a big drug ring to determine innocence or guilt. I have 5 days to fill out the form that was attached to the summons and then I have to call back on April 3rd to make sure my presence is required. I'll keep you posted.
In the meantime, I have agreed to run a 5K for my local high school. I would like to think that my child will be too smart to attend public school. I am not saying people who went/go to public school are dumb, taking into consideration I was a military brat and I DID graduate from a prestigious, all though not an ivy league, college, I still consider my self smart. However, I feel cuddle bug will get a better chance at being successful as an adult if he has the opportunity to go to private school. I've been eating words lately, so I am sure this will no miss the dinner plate.
Hubby, cuddle bug and I went to the park this morning so i could walk/run/embarrass my self around the track. I managed to make it 4 times around (the equivalent to two miles). I ran less that a quarter mile combined. (Hey!! I never said I was in shape... ) but i did walk the rest. I can feel myself getting in shape. now if I can just convince my sweet, loving and "supportive" husband to... uh, well... SUPPORT me.
