What’s a PMP?
Girl, this has really inspired me to just go ahead and make this list already. I’ve been pondering it for ages and I think I will work on it today, instead of working.
There are soooo many good ones here I don’t know where to begin. for now, brother, tea, flossing.
@ Marlyn – a PMP is a Project Management Professional.
Thanks for doing this, which you have now inspired me. I am a procastinator. It seems I get more done when I create a list for myself. Crazy…it’s like I’m in competition with myself to see how many items I can cross off [what's that about?].
Good Luck to you.
