Study Up

I found the following list written in my Series 6 study books from last Fall. I was clearly fully engaged in learning about variable annuities . . .

  • must like wheat bread
  • must like sarcastic humor
  • must enjoy non-blockbuster films but not expect me to be an expert
  • must take interest in social and/or environmental issues
  • must be a little romantic with a penchant for sweeping me off my feet, but without being too mushy
  • breath-taking good looks are preferable
  • familiarity with/knowledge of the female anatomy desired
  • personal charm required
  • interest in dancing or dance class a plus
  • healthy sense of competition/ambition
  • willingness to travel
I'm currently interviewing qualified candidates. . .

Motley Princess Strikes Again

Life is about to get a little crazier. Tuesday was my last day of a 2+ year job that I wasn't really excited about anymore. So now I start an adventure. I'm going to Costa Rica next Thursday and not coming back until October 1. The plan is to learn some Spanish, learn how to surf, go on zip-line canopy tours, get from place to place on horseback, and generally enjoy myself. I bought a new fancy rain jacket because I'm supposed to see a lot of that. I bought a refurbished ipod nano. I'll probably buy a few other toys before I go.

Wait a second.... what about when you get back? Well, I don't know. I'll think about that when I'm away. I have some ideas, but no point in spewing out that crap here.
