Sunday was busy! Great but busy!
We went to Red Lobster for lunch today! It was great (courtesy of one of dave's b-day gifts) and then we dashed over to my grandmothers to see her for a few minutes and to drop off a few things for her! so we thought this was going to be a short trip....we were wrong.....We sat in traffic on 635 for about an hour and maybe a bit more...finally we got home after 3pm...then Dave went to work at 4....
I spent the rest of the day cleaning the house, vacuuming the couch for pet hairs, bathing the dog and etc etc etc....
On a lighter and more exciting note....My parents have purchased new furniture for their living and bedrooms..How exciting! Although I have not seen it, I am sure they picked out some terrific furniture! Speaking of furniture, our desk will be arriving tomorrow....and the office is not ready for its new addition...I guess I will just need to work on that tomorrow!
It is time to quit for the day, Good night all!

Happy 7-7-07 Everyone!
Friday was busy as always...Friday nights are usually filled with laundry and ironing! Saturday mornings are filled with gym hours....the usual...
I plan to do very little today. Some cleaning can not be escaped but it is minimal. I plan to sort through the office today and get it ready for the arrival of our desk on Monday.
Other than that, I will be doing a whole lot of nothing... I hope every one has a LUCKY SATURDAY! Go get a lottery ticket or something!
love you all
Olga

IT'S COMING, IT'S REALLY COMING! & IT'S EARLY!
YES EVERYONE, I am super excited. My desk from Ashleys will be here monday and it is one week early! Everyone knows how much I do not like Ashleys Furniture but now they have officially moved up a notch in my book....TO NOTCH #1! I am just kidding!
I bought some decorations for it yesterday...I am going to stay with a brown/maroon/horse design around the desk. All of the bookstops that I purchased are horse shaped! Really neat! Pictures to come later! I know, I still owe you guys the bathroom pictures. :(
Also, I was very productive at lunch and I have finished and printed out all the invites for my friend John & Sharla's shower...I thought I was going to run into a problem with the invites but the printer cooperated and all was well...Maybe it's because I threatened the printer's life a few times in the process! Not sure!
On a sad note...I am trying to figure out what is going on with my hibiscus tree. The leaves are turning yellow daily and the tree is beginning to thin. I spend numerous hours on line researching but the research on these finniky trees is limited...all i could find is that I am either overwatering or underwatering...Oh Lord...I am watering it exactly as the instructions stated and it is getting adequate lighting......So in hopes of miracles, I put it out in the backyard, maybe the birds can knock some sense into that tree!
Well, I need to clean my desk, so happy Friday everyone!

A Fabulous Day!
Even though my day began super early (6:00am, so much for sleeping in) it was fantastic...
I made my early run to the store at 6:20 to get David some gatorade for his 2 jobs that he worked yesterday (Hurrican Harbor and Firewheel Fireworks in Garland) and then came home to make cinnamon rolls for some of the troopers that were coming by the house before work...
Then I dashed to Allen to see my sister/brother in law and the baby....Speaking of baby, I could not resist so here is another picture! The baby is so funny, he smiles like an Angel....No to mention, I swear that he said Mama yesterday....I know that he does not know what he is saying but it was special even though it was in baby mumbles.....
I left my sisters and went over to my friend Monyka's house (Monyka #1, for those of you who know the difference)....Ahhhhh......pizza on 4th of July......what more can a girl ask for? We were going to go to a steak house but Mexico was playing Chili(football for us foreigners and soccer for all the rest) and we had to get our priorities straight so we just stayed at home........
Then came time for fireworks...What an event...We went to Firewheel Mall in Garland to watch the festivities and what festivities they were! :) SheDaisy was there performing live, the fireworks (were late) but nonetheless they were GRRRRRREAT! Much thought and funds went into those and I appreciated that....Those definately do not even compare to City of Forney's fireworks....Dave worked traffic control so I got to see him a couple of times....Of course the parking situations and get of out parking situation was not as smooth as the event however, it is nothing to dwell over! I got home around midnight and crashed!
Needless to say my day was great and I hope everyone had a great 4th! Ahhhhhh....and now I must get back to reality and work!

A busy schedule
We had an uneventful evening last night...We particularly like those!
David goes back on night schedule today for the next two week and I guess
I will just need to use that time wisely instead of sulking...There is a list of things that I would like to get done while Dave is not home during the evenings.
I am going to start and put the office together...The desk is just the last piece and it is going to arrive sometime in the next 10 days...I will be shopping for knick knacks to place in the desk...to purrrrrtify it a bit....
I would like to also clean all the baseboards in the house, as it is time...I figured that if I take care of those types of chores as they come up during the year, I won't have to do that "spring cleaning' jazz.
Our garage could use a cleaning and sorting since our bathroom project pretty much cluttered it to the top...Also, I need to find a buyer for our vanity and the sink and our old desk...so I will be putting something in the local paper or thrifty nickel and try to get rid of it. I think that will pretty much keep me busy for a while.
Tomorrow I will go and see my nephew...I will first sleep in a bit, which will probably be until 7:30 or 8:00 (yes people, 7:30 is considered sleeping in in the Foster household) and the off I go to Allen, probably to a friends house for dinner and then off to the fireworks.....
(The pictures is my nephew Sasha and his little friend Megan, I think she is trying to eat him like a Tootsie Pop)
Love you all
Stay out of trouble and the rain!

Just an update!
The fireworks last night were fabulous! considering the fact that Forney is such a tiny town, they did go all out....
I was however frusturated with my own neighbors who were shooting fireworks out of their backyards....now, don't get me wrong....It is one thing when you do that and you don't have neighbors but when the next door neighbor is 10 feet away, is a whole another story...As a homeowner, you tend to worry about things like that!
Aside from that, Dave and I bought a new desk for our new/nonexistent office. We purchased it from Ashleys b/c we had some credit at the store that needed to be used up...Once again, never fails, we had problems with Ashleys and this will probably the last piece of furniture we ever purchase from them...The bad thing is, Ashleys really fits our taste....Bummer!
Tonight we are going to enjoy a quiet evening at home...
Have a blessed day everyone!

A Sunday and early fireworks
It has been a rather uneventful weekend and that is how we like it.
Dave is off, it is his long weekend, it is nice to be able to be with him and not have to think about how much time do I have with him before he goes to work...
Yesterday we spent the time cleaning the house. I made sure this week that we had no neglected bedrooms or bathrooms. I even made an effort and bleached and scrubbed cat's litter box...:)
My parents came over for a short visit on Saturday night and we had a nice dinner outside....pizza always saves the day!
Sunday we got up a little early and washed both cars....The jetta got particular attention since it is was really the first time we 'washed' the car since we bought it....It looks brand new!
Tonight we are going to watch the fireworks in my backyard...We did not realize that we received an extra perk when we purchased a house in the stix.....the fireworks usually occur in an area not heavily populated.....what does that mean? that means I will be sitting on my hammock chair tonight drinking me a little something and watching my fireworks from the privacy of my own house! And that my friends is how I like it! My parents will be joining us for the fun!
