This morning, before I had to leave for work, Christy and I finished the second coat of paint, for a total of two coats of primer and two of paint. That red is GONE! Our bedroom is next, and we'll use the leftover primer and unopened can of paint from the family room. This was Christy's excellent idea, in the spirit of not wasting paint... or money.
In the morning I'll take the tape off from the edges in the family room and share a pic of the final result. Watch for it!
Though I don't feel like today was as productive as it could have been, we did get some important shopping done:
We finally had our Christmas "gala" for work. Though it was far from a surprise, I won the Customer Service award--including a trophy and a check for $100--for my store. It's nice being recognized, but really my customer service consists of simply treating people how I would like to be treated. Yeah. It's really that simple.
The party was nice, the food was good... but the music sucked. As a result, there was very little dancing, and it all ended with a fizzle. Next year they better listen to me and have a live band rather than a DJ. Or at least hire a DJ that knows how to read a room.
Nevertheless, Christy and I had a good time. Time together is always good.
Good night.
From the January 2009 issue of Smithsonian:
A new study of brain waves among captive Swainson's thrushes suggests they drowse with their eyes open; nap for mere seconds; and doze with one eye open, resting one side of their brain at a time.
Already a half hour into 2009. We hope it's a great one for all of you. It's shaping up to be a big year for us. Hopefully we'll have a big announcement in the next couple weeks. Stay tuned.
