Lets be positive here...

Earlier this year Stephen along with the other managers at Hertz took a pay cut and they took away quarterly bonuses. I guess due to the economy, it was a bummer but at least he still had a job! Well we just found out they re-instated their normal pay and bonuses. So that was great news!

Do you notice how people always take the time to complain, especially if they've received poor service (which in case they should complain), yet rarely do people take the time to leave a comment of good recognition or props? Well yesterday Stephen's boss forwarded him an email from a customer that left him a great comment about his service. Stephen remembers the guy, his flight was delayed and Stephen stayed passed 1am (when they're officially supposed to close) to wait on this customer and rent him his car. The guy was super thankful and even told Stephen that he was going to submit a good comment about him. Yay for the customer for taking the time and following through with that.


Lots of house projects going on while still unpacking. We bought hardware for our kitchen cabinets. I have so many (28 cabinets! and 9 drawers) that I always get confused when trying to open them and which side to grab.


So while Stephen was at work last night and the kiddos were sleeping I installed all the hardware on the bottom half cabinets. I love how it makes the kitchen look more finished!

Still on our list:
  • repaint a section of James bedroom wall, they had to cut out a hole to get to our master bath to fill it with foam to prevent it from making creaking sounds. Unpack and decorate his room too.
  • paint the pink border on Madeline's bedroom walls. And apply the floral and butterfly stencils.
  • finish painting the remainder of the garage walls. We got 2 cans of gray colored "oops" paint from Home Depot for $5 each. It makes the interior of the garage look cleaner and finished.
  • paint the children's loft area. Stephen wants to hang all of our Red Sox and Viking paraphernalia in there. Make it our sports themed area.

Want to try and accomplish this all by this weekend, we shall see!
