Taking hours is not normal. If it doesn't load up within about 20 minutes you're in a bootloop. Do a battery pull, boot into recovery, rewipe the dalvik and data (its a good idea to wipe multiple times just to be sure), reflash the rom, reboot.

In the future, make sure you do a nandroid backup before you flash anything. Every time. The day will come when u do fubar your phone. Then you just restore and everything is good to go. Nandroid is your friend.

As far as ur contacts go, hopefully you made them "google" contacts. If so, they'll all resync automatically when you sign in the first time. If not, you'll have to restore them manually, either from a backup or re-entering.

Gps can be buggy w custom roms. It should work tho. U can try reflashing or try another rom. CELB is very good. The battery thing is a known issue w this version of kf. Find the new cfs v9 kernel by conap. U should probly do battery calibration if u flash a new kernel. Wifi tethering is totally cool as long as u don't get crazy. Verizon will never suspect unless u exceed 10gb.

Word to the wise: start reading the threads of the stuff u use over at xda. That's where the good info is.
