Ok, so I'm back. I'll tell you all about the beach and new job in the next post, but I figured I'd better let you know I was alive or you'd all start to grieve for me.
My new job and all is great. I look forward to going to work now. . . . well, actually I still don't look forward to it, I just don't hate going with the passion of a thousand suns. (that has a teeny bopper movie reference if you are adventurous enough to find it). Since there are a lot of changes going on and I have decided to undertake an exercise program to return to my fighting weight (after looking at the beach pictures I realized that I have become a Fat Bastard from sitting on my butt all day - another movie reference for you) I have had to revamp my daily schedule. Anyway, here is my new daily schedule.
4:30 am (ish) - Wake up and stagger out of bed.
4:40 am - Hop on the elliptical trainer, run or lift weights. (the goal is to drop 20 pounds of blubber or replace it with muscles) I used to be 150# now I'm closer to 170#. . . . not good.
5:30 am - hop in the shower and wash off the stink.
5:45 am - eat some healthy cereal or other breakfast food and get dressed.
6:00 am - leave for work.
7:00 am - arrive at work and commence wow-ing people with my awesome engineering skills.
11:30 (ish) am - take lunch of healthy leftovers and blog/play on the computer or go out for a healthy lunch.
12:30 (ish) pm - Get back to work and being productive in the company's eyes.
4:00 pm - Either leave work or call the wife and tell her I'll be at work a little longer (not more than 30 minutes. . . . . I don't do over-time)
5:00 pm - (or possibly 5:30 depending on work and/or traffic) Arrive home from work and hang out with the family while supper is being prepared. I may or may not prepare supper, depending on how wild my daughter is that day. I may eat a supper lovingly prepared by my wife (if my daughter has been reasonable calm), or bring some tasty supper home from a local restaraunt. Either way, family time until 7:oo.
7:00 pm - Prepare my daughter's bath and give her a bath. This is also about 1/2 play time for her and an opportunity for me to be silly with bubbles and the shower sprayer.
7:30 pm - Dry and dress my daughter and get her ready for the Mommy to take over at 8:00 pm.
8:00 pm - Go dry the bathroom from the water splashed everywhere.
8:30 pm - Give good night kisses to my daughter and watch my wife wisk her off to bed. Then I go and feed our animals and possibly take out the garbage if it needs to be emptied.
9:00 pm - hang out with the wife and veg out on the couch.
9:30 pm - get ready for bed.
10:00 pm - go to bed
11:00 pm - go to sleep. (what may or may not happen between the hours of 10 and 11 is none of your business, though I can say that sometimes sleep happens at 10 and not 11).
So there it is. I am in bed by 10:00 pm. This is a flexible schedule, though the 10:00 bedtime is pretty fixed. I am officially an old person.

Awwww, Spiffy! I'm so proud of you. You're all grow'd up now!
You've got everything down to a T!! I always have good intentions with schedules but can never stick to them. This is why I think I would not do the whole wife/mom thing so well.
Wow, I’m intrigued bro… well not really, but sometimes people just aren’t ready for the truth. But I truly am happy for you that you have fond a job that you like – yey Spiffy!
All, I guess I should have clarrified a little. This morning started my new and improved schedule. It will also take a little tweaking here and there to get it to work smoothly. As it is, there is a little flexibility, but not much. I like to be flexible.
Jill, Uhhhhhh, no. I will never be grow'd up. . . . . I don't wanna grow up (by the way, that was an awesome Swingers reference, but that would have been growns'd up, but I'll give it to you anyway, I love that you know that. . . . I'm assuming you knew what you were doing there). Either way, it made me smile, and that's all that really matters.
Airam, again, uh no. I am far from on top of it. Hence the new schedule. Plus, I'm a details kinda guy, so it helps if I have a plan to stray from and do completely different than it states. . . . . just so long as the end result is the same. . . . . I'm maddening that way. THat timeline is more for the seeing that it can be done and elliminating as many excuses as possible.
Crashie, thanks for the inflation of my ego. . . .(read sarcasm here). . . .I thought you were all about some of me? I suppose the infatuation ends just as mine starts to pick up steam. . . . but I guess that's the way things work. Timing is everything. Mwah!
I love the truth. I think that a little painful truth up front is better than finding out the truth after being lied to (even a little white lie). It tends to hurt more if it sneaks up on you.
It's only the 2nd week, so I may still grow to hate it, we'll see.
Me using sarcasm? *puppy eyes*
So, growed into hating it or shall I continue with my lil' cheering?
*Sigh*
That was my phrase before Swingers stole it. But I'm glad it made you smile.
I thought you were in a wheelchair?
What a horrible person you are to pretend to be crippled.
You probably dont even suck cock.
Good to have you back, commenting...
Yes, as a matter of fact, I DO have a picture to turn perfection off... but if I show it to you, you might kill me. Um, I might have to kill you... or something... heh!
