I am losing weight to offset the bald spot and few gray hairs I have found.
Other than that, working, taking care of the wife and raising a hard headed, very smart toddler.

For the past 2.5 months, literally everyday has been:
1. Wake up
2. Work 9+ hours
3. Go home, eat soup/bread/rice/pasta
4. Study for 2 hours
Repeat
Have 2 more months to go. On the plus side, I am getting really smart and saving a lot of money. On the down side, I am going crazy and really want alcohol. |

Living a comfortable financially secure life and enjoying my young and gorgeous girlfriend. Fishing on the weekends. Will do some riding when it warms up. But I'm probably older than you. Trying to loose some weight. |

working on both of these. definitely not comfortable financially, but i'm a hell of a lot better than i was 2-3 years ago.
i'm finally back selling software to the oil & gas industry...w/ the same company that fired me 2 years ago. they got rid of the financial backers that fired me so they wouldn't have to pay me ~$150-170k in commissions, got funded nicely by a couple of vc groups and brought me back. different application and target market now, but same concept. plus a sizable raise from my last job and double what i made here originally.
just took my daughter snowboarding for the 1st time - she loved it. so much so that i have already bought her a board/binding setup for next year's christmas present. and am buying all new gear for myself as well (picked up an arbor roundhouse cx 163 on sale this weekend).
been working out a ton trying to lose weight and look good so i can get one of those girlfriend things. dropped ~20lbs and look a hell of a lot better, but still no gf.
been signing up for a bunch of different fitness events lately: race up 31 flights of stairs in downtown highrise, 5k electric run, bunch of charity bike rides - ms150 austin to houston, hotter 'n hell 100, 3 other 45-65mi rides. planning a scuba trip to the caymans for late spring/early summer, a weekend road trip to new orleans to eat myself silly, and a trip to san francisco this june w/ my daughter on her summer visit. |

Work, work, work. Both at my job and in my personal life. Since I left college I'm finding that if I'm not busy, I get depressed; it's a constant battle to keep motivated and moving so I don't get bummed out about things in general.
In addition to my job, house/yardwork, my dog, and my fiancee; I've got wedding planning, a blog ( http://wakethings.blogspot.com/ ), trying to lose weight, and am going through the early steps of maybe starting a part-time business.
I'm 26 and I still have no idea what I want to do with my life, and am kind of living paycheck to paycheck. It's a little scary if I stop to think but I'm feeling really motivated all of a sudden. Was in a slump for a really, really long time but now I just find that if I keep myself busy, I'm a happier person. I tend to get burnt out every month or two though. |

Want to feel better about things.......... The snow is melting here, so I’ve got a solid 2 months of dog chit in the backyard. I filled a kitchen sized garbage can on Saturday and there is A LOT MORE…..
What I'm doing -
I’m in my Spring slim down for the trip to Cancun, so working out a lot….counting calories.
Run ragged by the kids….and couldn’t be happier. 4 hockey teams, 2 soccer teams, 1 basketball team right now. I also am helping coach hockey, which is fun and gives me an extra bit of exercise on the side. What a wild ride this has been….not sure I would have predicted this 10 years ago. Puts a smile on my face just typing it. |

I love to hear people talk like this, I can't wait until I'm in the same boat Makes me annoyed and sad for the kids that have parents that beetch about all the activities their kids are involved in. |

Forgot about my cycling. I am signed up to do the MS150 from Houston to Austin in April. Have a ride in two weeks that lets us ride over the Fred Heartman suspension bridge in Baytown, TX. Very nice BIG hill that I will not bomb, as I have gotten speed wobbles the last two times i went down it. _________________ Work SUX! |

Whenever I feel down, I go to CiCi's pizza, the people in there always make you feel like a rockstar! (I haven't needed to go in a looong time though...)
Trying to shed 10 winter lb's to get ready for boardshorts and fishing season. Headed to the Houston Livestock/Rodeo Cookoff (Drinkoff) this weekend. Hotties in short skirts and boots as far as you can see. I approve. _________________

Senior at VT taking a full course load including 3 capstone classes. Working 15 hours a week to save for my round the world trip in December and working hard at PT to get my knee back ASAP so I can hopefully ride in collegiate nationals in May. Trying everything to land a top marketing internship (preferably brand management on the client side or account planning on the agency side) for this summer |

i really liked it. flat as a pool table and boring terrain for about 50% of the ride, but incredibly well supported and it's so big you're never not around plenty of other riders (i've been completely alone in the middle of nowhere on the tour de cure before). lines can be long at some of the stops, but they move fast. b-rad is looking to do it this year as well - he broke his arm the week before last year's ride. we're looking to get hotel rooms, so shoot me a fb message if you're in and we'll keep you in the loop. that's a long ass drive from houston. |

Jto9, seems like you are doing just fine, great even. I'm pretty sure you're about 10 years younger than me. I know you got the babes, but as we get older finding the right one, or a good one, becomes more important. And fyi, I did ok when I was younger...but once I turned 35 or so, the chicks were everywhere, all ages. I got a great gf now, she's the bomb. Keep up the good work everyone. |

Did a massive solicitation looking to bring in some clients for my own book. Been able to pitch a few fortune 500s but still waiting on contracts. Boss and I do not agree on my share of those contracts and he currently works about 8-12 hours a week so I'm not willing to budge on my position as I'm servicing all of his contracts.
SO...
Put my name into the hat for an in-house corporate gig. Also, started talking to another firm's principle who would help me hang my own shingle and sub-contract with me as he transitions into retirement, also allowing me to take any potential contracts I've recently pitched with me.
Kind of an uneasy time of transition. _________________ If I agreed with you we would both be wrong. |

Renovating an office building, moving my company to the renovated office building this Friday-Monday been drawing (or telling an architect how to) a new house for the last 6 months, hopefully close to building, raising a kid (95% wife/5% me, but my 5% still feels like a lot of work), swamped at work, racing dirt bikes, working on my pilot's license, and working out when I can drag myself out of bed at 5AM. |
