Work (teacher), clean house (not often), spend time with son, sit out on deck and eat and drink wine with new dh, ride my bike every day, and natch, surf. A lot. No tv at all but lots of screen time none-the-less.
So how do you spend your time?

August - May : Get up early, read forums, teach, ride after work, spend time with my animals, take care of chores. Read until I fall asleep (usually only takes a page or two).
June & July: RELAX, ride, RELAX, ride some more! Read without falling asleep after a page or two, cross stitch, spend time with my animals, RELAX, visit family, RELAX!!!!!!
5:00 wake up and do yoga in the sun room for a 1/2 hour
then get the "kids" taken care of - the dogs, the cat, the DH :rolleyes: - and have my breakfast, meds and supplements
7:10 leave for work if I'm riding, every other day; or 7:20 get a ride to work with DH
Work too hard, try to remember what my symptoms are that day to report to my various health care professionals, worry about what to eat for snacks and dinner
4:30 leave work by bike or get a ride with DH
rest for an hour or so - yes, the tv is usually on then
eat and take meds
figure out some crazy dinner that fits my diet but will still make DH happy and give us leftovers for lunch the next day
in good weather, have that nice dinner in the gazebo
do a load of laundry or two - if I have energy
tidy up the kitchen - if I have energy
shower & get my stuff ready to go to work the next day - lunch etc.
rest some more
bed between 10 and 11
usually a tv show or two while resting, but not every night
read until I fall asleep, usually a page at most.
middle of the night, up at least once, sometimes because the dogs woke me
I know, very exciting.not
It's only temporary. One day I'll know the right balance of food, drugs and exercise and then I'll ride almost every day, and do real rides, too! :D
Next?

Wake up early - just before 6 a.m. , but don't use the early hours wisely (watch morning TV while breakfasting etc.) Feed the animals - 1 dog and 3 cats and put them out for the day. Head off to work just after 8 a.m (after doing lunches for myself and hb). Work at a pre-school until just after 2 p.m. (if I leave on time) and head off home. Reduced my hours this year from full-time but seem to go on the net after work, instead of doing leadlighting, sewing or gardening! Need to lift my game there. Try to ride to work, but when the weather is not good, or if I have to do large shop etc. I weaken and drive. After cooking and consuming the evening meal I watch the dreaded TV. Love Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Something About Brian and Boston Legal. Oh, I do watch the more intellectual programs too, only if they don't clash with the previous mentioned ones!
On the weekend I ride to the bakery for bread rolls and the newspaper (this is instead of getting the latter delivered), and then on for a more lengthy scenic ride home. This is followed by gardening and the usual necessary housework.
Interested in recycling and renewable energy. Have solar hot water and looking into installing solar power in the near future.:)
I work 3 days per week (I'm a student) so half week is buisy and half is great
...my typical buisy day
leave the home at 7am and I go to work... at 6 pm I'm back from work and I eat something quickly and go cycling with my friend. We ride till 8pm and than I play with my dog/clean the house/make the supper till 10pm when my darling comes home frome his afternoon shift and we spend some time together ant than go to sleep.
...my typical casual day
I wake up at 8am and than I learn for about 2 hour, and after that I do housechores (is it spelled like that :confused: ) and after that I'm "playing" in the garden with my flowers and wegetables, and that relaxes me very much. Than I cook something delicious for my darling who works mornigshift so he's back at 5pm and than we enjoy the rest of the day mainly together.
I watch tv only after 8pm when I lay back with my darling after supper and I'm too tired to do anything else. We mainly watch National geografic dokumentaries and we go to sleep at 11pm
Love Desperate Housewives, Grey's Anatomy, Something About Brian and Boston Legal. Oh, I do watch the more intellectual programs too, only if they don't clash with the previous mentioned ones!
We don't have the last two you mentioned but the rest I enjoy also. And I'd like to add Dr House - I adore him ;)

During the week my schedule is like this:
415am out of bed (I work at 630 tues,wed, fri), do the toilet stop, wash my face, get my cycling clothing on and out the door by 5am. Get to work, shower & have brekkie. I finish work at 3pm & i'm on my bike doing some sort of long ride by about 330pm(to cure the boredom from doing a pointless & useless job. Yes, i'm the process of finding a new one) Get home about 630pm and play with Yukon, make dinner (that's if it was Ian's turn the previous night) and then wander on the computer or read a book.
Monday & Thursday-up at the same time but this time I leave at 5am to drive to the pool for our group swimming session. It's a 1/2hr drive from my house if yóu're wondering..
I'm normally in bed by about 830pm.
Weekends-they're now saved for moutain biking.

Up at 6 or 6:30, depending on what the plan is and how many times I feel compelled to hit the "snooze" button.
Make coffee. Most important task of the morning!
Feed and socialize with da monsters (morning salad for the bunnies).
Bike to work, or surf the 'net 'til it's time to get cleaned and dressed if I'm not riding that day.
Put out fires at work all day. Write stupid reports and send lots of emails in my never ending duties to perfect herding cats. I loooove my job! :rolleyes:
Come home. Feed da monsters again (they are a hungry horde).
Make dinner, (assorted activities - read, surf the net, outside to pull weeds, clean the house, whatever), play with the beasties (oh, and one more salad for them) until bed.
Such an exciting life I lead!!!
Weekends are better - biking, kayaking, and working in the yard.

Up at 5:20...me time until the kid wakes up around 6:30. News, internet, read, garden....sometimes up at 4:30 to fit in a bike ride before hubby leaves the house @ 6.....
Kid gets up, tv goes off and stays off. We play, hike, bike, geocache, visit the playground or zoo or butterfly house or botanical garden or science center or art museum, or library, or any of a number of free cultural and entertaining opportunities, visit great grandma, grampa, do whatever chores need to be done, animal, yard, gardens, house, food, work on truck, shopping (blech), mow the neighbor's yard if it needs it, if I have the step-kids entertain them too.
Hubby gets home, we check the veggie garden, do a little weeding there, go for walk or bike, feed the masses, play with kid, get kid ready and in bed, watch a little tv with hubby, computer, read, shower, bed around 10-11 pm.
Weekends are more of the same, but with a big bike ride or trail maintenance and a hike with the husband.
It varies according to who is home and who isn't. My kid and I are the constant and he's the star of the show. :)

Up by 7, or earlier if it's sunny and the curtains are open. Let the dog out of son's room, crackle my knees down the stairs and make a cup of Earl Gray, plant my butt in the recliner and check my email on my laptop. If I turn on the TV, I'm doomed to be there until 10, so I try not to turn it on if I have a busy day. If I'm going to ride that day, then I skip all that until I get back.
The rest of the day is for all the things I need to do around the house, but when I'm in school (in August again) I study until the boy wakes up sometime between 8 and 11. I try to make him breakfast, depending on his mood for food. Sometimes I'm too busy and he's on his own. We interact and decide what to do that day, where to go.
It's baseball season and I am on the board of the local youth league. Yesterday I spent all day doing administrative stuff for the league. Every game day I go down to the concession stand about 3 and cook the food, load the cash registers, etc. Then I pick up trash or clean the restrooms (yes, I'm a volunteer! "You're welcome," to all those imaginary locals who are lining up to thank me for cleaning up after them when they can't be bothered to walk two feet to the trash can. :confused: )
I spend a lot of time looking around the house and sighing at all the unfinished projects, which I can't possibly get done during baseball season.
Evenings are usually spent at or avoiding being at the ballpark. I'm thankful when my son's games are in the next town, so I won't be hassled about "how much" they "paid" and "this?" is what they "get?". (Can you tell end of season burn-out is setting in?) I haven't used my stove since the beginning of April, because we're never home.
This is only my typical day for about 3 months of the year. I can't remember what I used to do. lol.

work, ride, work, ride, work, ride, etc. Since my BF works more than I, I can ride before he gets home and then when he's home, we spend time together doing all sorts of stuff, like planting stuff, working on his car project or my bike project. We both try to get out like going to small concerts or the independent movie theater but if not, we go to the race track sometimes or the beach. Outside of work, its in the air, but when you work 40+ hours a week, spare time is limited:( .

Yesterday I got up around 8a and met my friend for a ride at 9. Went home for a quick shower and then off to the gym where I met up with my friends and attended a CrossFit weight lift class for an hour. After class I walked a trail with another friend. Then I had another quick shower before heading off for my weekly pain management massage.
I got home around 4:30 and helped my kids clean out their closets. Our house goes on the market tomorrow...
At 6:00 I left the house with my daughter, her boyfriend, and two other friends and we went to a local lake to do some open water swimming.
Home at 8:30. Another shower! And then I had the laugh of the day as I was IM'ing my daughter (she lives in Utah) and talking with my husband on the phone (he commutes from North Carolina) while he was IM'ing the same daughter. She didn't know that we were talking to each other and we would IM the same stuff to her and she couldn't figure out how we could think of the same stuff at the same time. It was a good laugh and it took her about 5 minutes to figure it out.
The only thing the day lacked was yoga...perhaps today.
What's a typical day like for you? Do you watch alot of TV, read, workout, socialize, busy with a family, or maybe a workaholic? What are your interests - besides cycling?
Well, up at 5AM on spin bike for an hour,hour and a half. Cool down, then the "munchkin" wakes up. From then on it's chasing her, changing diapers, changing diapers, reading, singing, playing, oh, did I say changing diapers, laundry, cooking, cleaning. Then, at about 5PM off to school. I unfortunately don't get the luxury of riding outside during the week...:o Or, lunch breaks, coffee breaks...going from working outside the home to being AT home has been tough, still is, I'm a people person, at least I get some adult interaction when in class.
However, I know that I'm doing the best thing for my daughter and her future, even if I feel like mine is in SLOW MOTION even trying to finish my RN. :o
Surgtech, what is your day like???

Mondays: up at 0600 with partner Pat. Feed the cats. Pat off to work. I pop online, check email, IM chat with friends in Europe, and surf. 0900: check the HelpLine for the animal rescue society I volunteer for, pick up messages, call them back. This takes between one and four hours depending on the calls. When done, I go into Victoria to check on Ed (the senior gentleman I wrote about elsewhere), make sure he's ok/ shop for him, chat awhile. Home in the mid-afternoon. Do chores, play with the cats, nap.
Tuesdays: Usual online thing, then after doing the HelpLine, free day for Pat and myself. Go shopping, geocaching, day trips/exploring, chores/projects around home, play with the cats, nap.
Wednesdays: Pat at work in the morning. Feed the cats. Usual online rounds Do the HelpLine. Check on Ed. Afternoon, usually chores/projects around home, or a quick bike ride. Nap.
Thursdays: same as Tuesdays.
Fridays: same as Mondays.
Saturdays/Sundays: Pat's days to do her own things. After the usual morning online stuff and HelpLine calls, my days to spend on THE BIKES! :D
We don't watch much TV especially in Summer. Except for Corrie :rolleyes:
Maybe a music DVD or movie occasionally. I love radio, and spend most evenings surfing the airwaves searching for distant stations; Pat reads. Astronomy/photography deep into the evening when the weather allows.

5:30/6 am get up, shower, dress, eat (or swim first, or ride to work first)
8 ish to 5 ish, work (aka spend my days being bored wishing I could be outside riding my bike, or doing anything else productive) :(
5 ish to 6:30 ish, go for run, or ride home from work, or ride when I get home from work :)
6:30 ish to 9, play with dogs, talk with DH, go through mail, eat dinner, do laundry, garden, shower, pack a gym bag for the next day (Thursdays I watch Grey's anatomy, but luckily the season is over . . .)
9 pm watch Daily Show
9:30 pm, brush teeth, get ready for bed
9:40 pm read until I fall asleep, which is usually about 9:50 pm.
Weekends are pretty much the same without the 8 to 5 work bit and we actually cook dinner, and/or get together with friends in the evening. (Notice that nowhere did I mention cleaning the house? DH is also triathlon training, so the only "cleaning" we do anymore involves bike maintenance.) We're not big on TV other than the two shows I mentioned, if I have spare time, I'm usually reading.

M-F 5:45 a.m. - get up, grab coffee, take a shower, pack lunch, pay attention to the "kids" (4 cats), refill bird feeders and bird bath outside.
MWF mornings I do a quickie workout with free weights, squats, core strengthening exercises.
8 a.m. arrive at work, boot up computer and fix breakfast (plain oatmeal with skim milk, raisins, cranberries, almonds and walnuts).
8 - 4 p.m. - Supervise a teaching staff of 20 and plan curriculum & instruction for a federally-funded program through the local public school system. They try their best to keep me after 4 most days.....
4 p.m. - Drive home (15 miles, very cycling-unfriendly roads).
TWTh 5:30 p.m. - ride 20 - 30 miles, if there are no thunder storms in the area
M & F - Walk about 3 miles or work in the yard; do laundry, whatever...
Michael and I take turns cooking dinner.
We have no TV antenna or satellite connection but we do get Netflix and watch a movie or two a week. We have no internet service at home (waiting for the local wireless company to put up a tower that will reach us on our side of the mountain).
Weekends - up at 6:30; long rides both days, weather permitting
Evenings spent with friends - usually cycling buddies.
If weather does not permit riding outside, then we throw the bikes on the trainers and plug in our ipods.
What's a typical day like for you? Do you watch alot of TV, read, workout, socialize, busy with a family, or maybe a workaholic? What are your interests - besides cycling?
Well, I'm deep into tri season... so a typical workday for me is as follows:
1) Get up around 7:00 AM.
2) Go to work around 8:30-9:00 AM.
3) Sometimes workout at lunch.
4) Get off work around 5:30-6:00 PM.
5) Go workout. I typically don't do 2 a days, but every couple of weeks I do.
6) Get home around 8-8:30 PM, eat shower and pass out by 11:00 PM. I also chat with my boyfriend on the phone at some point during all of that.
I train 5-7 days a week, so just about every day involves some sort of biking, running or swimming activity.
Pretty dull. Eh?

WOW! It's cool to see how different- yet the somehow the same our schedules all are..
Here is mine right now
5:00-5:30 am.. Wake up to sun coming up (in PHX it comes up early)
5:30 drag butt out of bed and have a bit of something to eat
6:00 go for run or ride.Usually 1 hour, sometimes 1.5 hours
7:30: Back in house, check emails, check in with son who is now getting up. Tell him the usual- eat breakfast, brush teeth, shower, and NO video games yet!
7:45: have a bit more breakfast, cool down and watch a bit of the morning news
8:00-8:30 drag butt of the couch to shower
8:30: Get up to the computer and start working. Get running son going on his summer studies. A C+ in math = school work over the summer. Also make sure he reads for an hour. This also insures quiet time for me to work.
10:00: Input billing and every few days I'll head 20 miles down the hill to the office to print my billing since I can't print from home. If I do go down the hill I also squeeze in all my errands such as groceries and the post office in one trip.
11:30-12:00 go downstairs and have some lunch. Watch Regis and Kelly that I have on the DVR while I eat
12:00-mid afternoon back at the computer/fax/phone working (or playing on TE):p
3:00 make my way back downstairs for a snack. One or two days a week I'll go to the pool sometime between 3 and 4:00.
4:30: Start thinking about dinner
5:00: Get dinner on table for son and I- as hubby is usually out of town working
6:00 either do pm workout- could be riding or running depending what I did- or didn't do- that morning. Or I will take son down to play basketball or tennis. SOmetimes we take the mtn bikes out. It just depends.
8:00 come back from evening foray and have a sugar free popsicle on the back patio while I chat with running son about the day
9:00 get him into bed, go back to checking emails and do a bit more work
10:00 off to bed to start the whole routine over again! :)
During school it includes me riding with him and his buddy to and from school, and the morning workouts are done AFTER he heads to school. But it's not as warm then, so I can actually train at a normal hour!!

I feel like such a sloth compared to some! I am not a morning person but here goes...
Btwn 6am-7am, wake up. (depends on when I went to bed). Depending on when I wake up, I either run, go to the gym, bond with/feed the cats or a combination of above.
7:30-8:15 or so: Make breakfast, make lunch, check e-mails, have as much caffeine as I can.
8:30-9:10: Shower & get ready for work
9:10-9:45: drive to employee parking
9:45-10:00: bus to airport then RUN to the timeclock!
10:00-8:30pm: work
8:30pm-9:30pm: Bus back to employee parking then drive home
9:30-when I go to bed: Bond with cats, DH, eat light dinner (DH has it waiting for me) or we go for a walk. I can never get right to sleep, unfortunately, so I tend to get to bed later than I'd like.
I work 10 hour days so I do get three days off a week. On Sundays, DH and I do something because it's our only day off in common. Sometimes we cycle, sometimes we hike, sometimes we travel. Since I work for the airline and have flight benefits, we do travel more than most probably.
Mon/Tues: Wake up at 8am (+/-) and either cycle or go to the gym. One of those days tend to have appts too because I have braces (off this tuesday though!) appts or hair appts or whatever. I do my long workouts on these days and sometimes on Sundays too, depending on what we're doing.
Tuesday nights I have pole dancing class.
On all my "off" nights, we go for a 2-5 mile walk just to decompress.
Kind of boring actually :D
Must work on that "getting up early" thing. I'd get much more accomplished.
