Default How has this year gone for everyone?

Well 2 months have come and gone so far in 2008... so how's it been for you?
Good? Bad? a little Ugly?

So far I'd say 85% good and holding so far.

The only negative thing I can think of so far is loosing what I thought was the beginning of a great friendship but sadly no.. not quite sure what happened there but it left almost as quick as it came in..

Beyond that I have no real big highs or lows but kinda holding steady right now just below cloud 9..

Anyone else?

Cloud 9 appears to be dropping all sorts of stuff on my head.

Awesome so far, except for a miserable cold that lasted for two weeks.

Hopefully the weather gives us a little break soon so some work can be done on the toys in the garage.

So far so good. Got a couple of numbers from some chicas the other day, one rides a ktm dirt bike. Technically that was in March though, but I'd say that's a good way to start of the 3rd month.

so far, so expected I guess..........I wish the weather would improve, I'd like to get outside and put this non-smoking/affect on the health to the test.

Kids growin' like a weed, (more fun to be around), except when a tantrum flares up, man have they been HUGE lately!

I guess I'll know more after surgery.......

Depends on when exactly the year starts?

If you are talking about since January 1st then pretty decent. Things are on the upside and starting to turn around.

If you go back a month and a half then it was a little rocky.

Hopefully we all will have a Great 2008!!!

I like to keep my expectations low, that way I won't be disappointed.
