Battle has been won!

Many of you know the story of Olga Foster vs. Balch Springs IESI (Trash Pickup).... if you don't, I will tell you.

2 1/2 weeks ago, IESI came to the house to pick up our trash...a normal....beautiful day....birds chirping....wind blowing.... and then and IESI guys decides to ruin my day.

They pick up our trash and in the process they break my trashcan to the point that the wheels fall off b/c the axles are now broken (and cannot be fixed).... Now why would I care since IESI provides all their customer trash cans?......well, in City of Forney, we do not get IESI trashcans just the lovely service of getting our junk hauled away...

So, now that my day is ruined thanks to people who do not care...I call IESI in Balch Springs....talk to a lovely lady who tells me that the mgr will call me back tomorrow morning to settle this....

Hmmm, 2 1/2 weeks later and a dozen of vm's....no call back!

So, after lacking sleep and being in a bad mood, I call the Dallas IESI to file a formal complaint #2....I proceed to tell the "manager" about the broken trash can, the fact that the wheels were thrown in the yard in an attempt to cover up the broken wheels and the fact that our trashcan does not even stand up anymore....and remind him that a certain someone has ignored me for 2 1/2 weeks....

Now, I know that it is not a nice thing to do to rag on people and turn them in to their bosses for naughty behavior but after last night's attempt to fill out trashcan with junk, I couldn't stand the tipping trashcan that no longer could stand on its own... Did I mention that there is a black & white cop car outside my house....I am not getting big headed, but considering that my husband puts his life on the line everyday for citizens should earn us the right of an ounce of respect....like maybe not breaking out trash can or at least apologizing....

OK, Now I am done because we are getting reimbursed for our new trash can...

Happy Birthday Monica!

Today is my Friend Monica's Birthday (for those of you who know the difference, it is Monica #2)
So, Happy Birthday to her!

Dave and I have been pretty busy lately. Weekend came and gone! We played water volley ball on Sunday night, and lost. My abs are really hurting....great work out...

Last night Dave and I consumed our night by playing board games...We are still kids...We started off with skipping stones, progressed to Uno and finished the night off somewhere after 10pm with Monopoly...We shall continue Monopoly tonight...so far I am winning...but 'tis no time to gloat...the game is not over yet!

Laters,
Olga & Dave

Look at Me!

See, I can drive a boat, with my eyes closed and drink a Mountain Dew at the same time! Talk about talent!

TGIF!

Since we haven't seen a rainbow here in forever, I thought I would share my favorite rainbow with you. This picture was taken in Honolulu last Sept (the very 1st picture we took upon our arrival to Hawaii)


Yes, It is friday and I can feel it in the air! Too bad that air is hot and full of pollutants.

Either way, it is Friday and I am excited about the weekend. I have much work to do around the house, btw, that mopping never got done so I will be doing that. Tonight is our grocery shopping night, so I will be busy stocking the fridge and the pantry. Normally David and I do that together but not tonight...Dave and John are having a Bachelor party tonight...I think they are starting at Snuffer's in Rockwall and only God knows where they will actually end up! :) I'll be thinking about them! :) Not, I will be snoozing!

Sat I work as always but it is also our friend Kelly's bday (trooper wife) and we are celebrating by going out to eat! On Sunday we have plans to go to see Billy and Alanna (another trooper & wife) and play water volleyball...

Elvis has received a new nickname yesterday...We call him Elvira alot but yesterday he received a new name from me, Elvirus! Because he is being a pest! ...I think that cat is bi-polar!

Well, I hope everyone is safe this weekend, if you can avoid, stay out of trouble and jail...I'm low on bond money this month! J/K

I thought I was going to rest!

Nope, not today...My plans was to go home and relax and then mop my floors but that did not work out...I was asked to come in tonight instead of tomorrow so I did...In a way it worked out well since Dave was gone fishing and I wasn't going to see him anyway...But you know how when you have your heart set on going home & falling on those couch cushions and not getting up and then they go and shatter my *DREAM*! :(

Anyway, to make this lousy story short is that the weekend is approaching quickly. I am excited! I know we are going to go and visit Billy & AlAnna in Terrell to play water volleyball and I am going to clean my house and my kitchen rug could use a carpet cleaner machine...it's pretty much screaming for it! :)

Work has been busy, business has been excellent, what else can you ask for? Nothing at all! Our vacation is coming up...I am starting the count down for real now...I have a month, and I will be loading that boat and saying BonVoage! :) Dave can use a vacation too, he's worked really hard this year and has achieved so much, I need to reward the boy! :)

Well, that's all! Have a good night everyone! Stay out of Trouble!

That's some Sirius Fish!

Whew! What a day! I dashed to work to get a few things done and then I went to see a customer of mine in Carthage, TX...About 1/2 hour away from Shreveport... I stayed for a 30 min minute meeting and dashed back to Forney..Finally got home around 6pm...Driving a lot wears me out.

But, tomorrow is another busy day and I must stick it out and suck it up.

On a lighter note, Dave and I did a bit of shopping today...Dave got himself a Sirius radio for his trooper car because he was jealous of my sirius radio in my Jetta. Now he will be commercial free! We also bought a decoration for our kitchen and it is a tribute to all the fisher-people in the Yeremenko and Foster families...Check it out below!

Good Night, Love you all,
Olga & Dave

BACK IN 2001








Courtesy of my wonderful friend Laura, these are pictures from my freshman year in college, probably in spring of 2001. I think this was an Alpha Phi Omega event where I got pied, because it's fun! And, I looked goofy and back in the day when I was a 100lb...haha! Enjoy! feel Free to make fun of me! :)

Bummer!

I got allergies! The kind that make you feel like you have a cold. So naturally I tried getting my shift at the gym covered....with no success...So, needless to say I went to work sick! Bummer!

My mom came over for a visit yest,it was great to see her. She brought me some russian medication (cream) for my finger. it is suppose to suck all the crud out of my finger and help it feel better and not be so swollen. it is very stinky but i think it is starting to work. when I bend my finger, I don't think it is hurting as much as before.

Dave is finishing him last day of "night shifts" and starting on monday, we'll be a normal household for another 2 weeks. I hardly got to see him the last two weeks. I felt bad because Dave came home for lunch last night and I was asleep with my allergies and I think I kicked him out of the bedroom...don't remember for sure!

Tonight when I get home at 6pm, I will be pretty much going to bed and catching up on rest and sleep.....

Have a good one everyone!

A Busy Bee!

Howdy Everyone!
It's been a few crazy/busy days! I've been running around trying to get things done this week!

I got rid of Allstate as my insurance agent for the cars and went with Geico. I increased my insurance by 4x (which is great news) and saved $650/every 6 months versus Allstate.

With Allstate my policy was $1350 and with Geico (with 4x more insurance) it is only $700 for a 6 months policy.....did I mention outstanding customer service from Geico!
I left the house insurance with Allstate for now since Geico does not give multiple policy discounts and Allstate did not change my price since I pulled out the car policy! Anyway, needless to say, it was easy to do and pleasant to deal with Geico....Allstate however was grouchy!

I got some laundry done this week which is super, but more piled on, so never mind!

Dave came and ate with my last night when I was at the gym, he brought me Chick Fil A for dinner! He is so sweet!

Also, my sister posted a wonderful video of baby Sasha eating vegetables for the first time! You should watch it!

Love you all,
Olga
