Hey!! It was his idea I'm just being a sweet, loving, supportive wife who won't have to worry about stupid birth control anymore!!! It's a lot easier for him to do it than for me to do it and I have my hands plenty full with the 2 kids I already have!

What are you looking forward to...
1. ...today?
Going home
2. ...over the next week?
The firm decided to pay last year's bonuses by direct deposit instead of handing out checks and for some reason they're not giving us the money until this month (we usually get our bonuses the same week as the firm's Christmas party). As soon as I get the notification that the money has been deposited I'm using it to pay off my student loan from law school.
3. ...this year?
Trying to make it to double figures in Buffett concerts for the 3rd year in a row.
4. ...over the next five years?
I'd like to be able to retire before I'm 60, which will be in 6 years, so that's something to shoot for in the next 5.
5. ...for the rest of your life?
Living it.

5 O'Clock
2. ...over the next week?
Finding out if/or when my office is closed up and when, if so, the buyout check will be here
3. ...this year?
Embarking on career path #6, what ever and where ever that may lead me.
What ever my three daughters have in store for us, it's always an adventure. Getting to meet more, BN'rs. Hopefully getting the keets to FLA and seeing my Mom and Dad, perhaps one last time
4. ...over the next five years?
Finding the final piece to the game of life puzzel, ie my last career move, working on retirement and OMG, my first Keet graduating
5. ...for the rest of your life?
Hoping one of the Keets likes me enough to take care of me when I'm old. After one lengthy career hiatus and another looming, things could be tuff on our own.
Hoping that everything I have done, as strict and as anal as I am sometimes accused of being, is the right way to bring up my children. That the direction and values and work ethic we are trying to instill in them translates into wonderful caring grown up people, that contribute to the world around them. And pay for my golf and scotch when I'm old

Finding the right girl, becoming a dad - and a cool one at that, owning my own ad agency/boutique firm, and traveling. Retiring to DW and once again working for the Mouse, piloting the boats on Seven Seas Lagoon & Bay Lake. Oh yeah, and more traveling.
