Life in General

I always say surround yourself with good people that bring out the best in you, because life is hard enough on your own.

I have found sometimes you can't make everyone happy. Sometimes you get a friend that complains constantly, a client that will never be happy, or perhaps just a person who is taking their own life issues out on you.

For the first time, I have found that I have someone that isn't happy with my work. After some painful conversations I still can't seem to get it right. Is this something that I am doing wrong, or is the plain fact that they will never be happy. Should I take this personally?

I think it is because I take things too personally. I am still working with this client to ensure they are happy. I'm starting to think that they never will be.

So if you can't please a customer, have you failed?

Perhaps that is where the saying comes from "You Can't Win them All" or the T-Shirt Al told us about "Fk You I'm from TEXAS."

Fire Place Renos

I must say that I'm so happy that finally this project has been tackled. The only skill I have when it comes to home renovations is actually pick out what I would like the final product to look like; either than that, I'm not much help.

Nathan sort of helped out. Yeah sorta... uhmm he did all the work. So thank you so much. I absolutely love it.

Not to sure why my Christmas tree stand is in the first picture?!??

Also one more thing. Congrats to Chris and Des on your engagement and Chelsea and Jody... Very exciting.
