PMP here I come

The lofty, often coveted, more often flaunted, Project Management Professional certification...

It's something I have considered attaining for myself at least a dozen times over the years.  It was just never the right time...

I was too busy: 
- raising a Daughter
- managing software teams
- learning and implementing RUP, ITIL and Scrum and Agile practices 

So, here it is 2013 and I find myself preparing for a PMP bootcamp next week.  It's daunting! Not being the best test-taker in the world, I'm obviously wary.  I am drinking the cool aid, however, which is difficult with all the other stuff floating around in my head. 

With any luck and a lot of studying, I hope to be ready in a couple weeks to take the exam and pass with flying colors.  If I don't, I'll be sure to quickly change the subject and find something else to talk about.
