TGIF!

(Here's a memory! Beanies 3rd B-day party) See if you can find yourself in the picture?



Yep, I mean it!

Yesterday we had a nice visit with the family. We met up in Greenville at Chilies to celebrate my sister in laws birthday...Then we went home to sleep! But the addicts that we are, we did not go straight to bed, first we played online games and then off to be we went.

Today is Friday and friday nights are typically the same in the Foster household. Laundry, house chores, yard work and grocery shopping. Sat I have a shift at the gym, and then my mom and granny are coming over to make raviolis....It's been a while and I have officially run out of raviolis.....

Sunday I am going to make a sincere attempt to clean out junk drawers in the house and do some major resting! :) Then I will go to my sisters house to visit with her and also to visit my Grandmother because it will be her birthday on Sunday!

I think that is all the update I got! Sometimes, no news is good news!
Love you all,

Olga & Dave

Howdy All

Today has been a slow day at work...Apparantely it's Columbus Day and noone told me...So I kept on calling my clients and not being able to find them. haha! The joke is on ME!

I went to visit a client today to pick something up but got busy and hectic that I forgot to pick up the router that I came for...Once again the joke is on ME!

Got home, Dave and I ate leftovers for dinner in an attempt to clean out the fridge, in which we succeeded. Then we went running together...me and dave and beans...
All 3 of us need the work out and to loose weight or get into better shape. Dave is working on his cholesterol and blood pressure, i am working on my midsection and Beans is working on all her body parts that have become all to round.

But, Beans had a good time with the neighbors dog Chico. they played together and chased each other followed by a butt sniffing session. Then we went to our neighbors house Jaime, because her bday is tomorrow. She got a beautiful bling bling ring on her finger for her present. Mike did very well!

That is all, I shall go continue reading my book, I just wanted to update everyone on our progress.

Love you all

Spiders, Spiders & More Spiders!

(Dave and I at Jimmy Buffet's "Margaritaville" at Grand Turk & Caicos. It is a restaurant and a trading post.


So, months ago by without me seeing a spider but today was full of spiders. Why you ask? Is it Halloween already? NO!

This morning I had to kill a big, juicy spider in our master shower. First I sprayed mildew cleaner on him and then when he was done wiggling and dying and all, I flushed him down the drain.

Then off to work I went. Towards the very end, one of the cleaning ladies started screaming and I ran to her to find a big hairy spider near the front door of the gym and it was a size of a mini box of raisins. HUGE! You could see individual hairs on that sucker. It was solid black, so it appeared to me! I grabbed a broom from her hand and I wacked him! WHACK! The spider continued to wiggle and was probably cursing me! So, I whacked him again! WHACK! All of a sudden white juice poured out of him...He looked dead! Now the cleaning lady came down a bit.

So I go home...Going home to meet with a guy who bought our old porcelain top vanity and base off CraigsList. We sold the vanity and decided while we were already in the garage to go ahead and clean it a bit and sweep it and get rid of spider webs and spiders in the corners...why did I decide to do this? why?
In the corners of the garage there were many spider webs, as I imagined, with big spiders on them. Some spider webs had easily 2 or 3 spiders on it. So Dave pulled out our handy-dandy shop vac and vacuumed them in. Thank God I did not have to do that because there was probably at least 15-20 spiders in that vacuum. I know I won't be cleaning out the vacuum any time soon.

With that being said, I think this was my preparation for Holloween.

On another note, this weekend has been busy. Friday night consisted of house cleaning and laundry. Tonight (Sat) consists of floor mopping/vaccuming and ironing and tomorrow night I will attempt to do some yard work. Bushes need a hair cut and the weeds are back!

Busy Bee! That's Me!

I've been busy since Saturday night when we got back. Sat night was consumed by laundry and ironing and picking up the house a bit. Sunday we relaxed and finally got some groceries in our fridge and Monday was the day to go back to work.

I've been catching up on work the best I could but I still feel as though I am behind. Sales are doing well and I am thankful for it but busy busy busy...

Tonight I am going to take some time and visit Monica and Mark for dinner and a premier of Pushing Daisies...I am excited about the new show...BTW, for those of you who watch "House" I was disappointed with the new season. Bummer!

Monica is making Mexican food tonight and Dave will join us on his dinner break.

My mom came and visited us yest which was very nice of her. It was relaxing to sit and have dinner together and catch up on news and gossip...well, folks, that is it!

Doctor's Visit!

Dave went to the doc today for a physical.....
Hmmmm......high blood pressure already! He is on several medications right now like Mucinex and allergy medicine and that could be a possible contributor to the elevated blood pressure but the doc told him to monitor the blood pressure for 2 weeks and he will make a decision whether or not to be put on low dosage blood pressure meds....he also had a severe ear infection from the trip and hence why's he's been feeling under the weather! But, anti-biotics and a shot will do the trick!

Blood work will be back tomorrow! Just thought I would give everyone an update since I've been bad and slowly lately!

Love you all,
Olga

We are BAAAAAAACK!

Oh What fun that trip was. We left on friday morning and went to Miami where we had an awesome room downtown Miami. We could see our Carnival ship from our top story room...It was awesome...That night we went strolling to the Bayside Marketplace to check out the scenary and the shops...Here are a few shots from there...





The next day we went to the Miami Seaquarium which was loads of fun...We got to see a dolphin show, manatees, iguanas, parrots, sharks and sea lions...





Then we dashed to get our bags from the hotel and get on the ship...The Triumph (Carnival)


After getting on the boat, we realaxed, made new friends and celebrated our 1st anniversary!

We spent our anniversary in Half Moon Cay, Bahamas (Population 35)





The next stop was in St. Thomas.....Unfortunately our under water pictures were not developed yet but I can share these with you..In St. Thomas we SNOOBAd and also snorkled.




Then we were off to Puerto Rico where we rode horses through a Rain Forest.





It rains 4 times in Puerto Rico a day...An Average rain fall is 250 inches/yr and each rain session in the Rain forest lasts around 20 minutes.


Our Last stop was in Grand Turk and Caicos Islands. Grand Turk is a type of a cactus and Caicos means "series of islands"






That's basically the rundown of our vacation. We took about 600 pictures (not including underwater) and I will be creating a snapfish album on Wednesday...Stay Tune!

ON VACATION!

Howdy all,

Just a quick Bye as we are leaving this morning... We'll be back in 9 days...
I will be sure to post lots of pictures!

Take care,

David & Olga

Surgeon Visit!

Visted 2 Sergions today at Lakepointe Hospital in Rockwall...What fun!
Basically, short synopsis of this is this.....got a hernia, it's umbellical,
it is not doing any damage, it is tiny, there are no intenstines that are being suffucated
due to this....there is a piece of fat (big piece) in between the hernia and the intenstines.
No heavy lifting, over 15lb, no exercises for the back where I have to do 180 degree stretches, bad for the hernia...all my pains are due to movements and stretches.
Basically I need to alleaviate that from my life for a while.

Both surgeons recommended not to take the hernia out at this time unless it becomes unberable but rather change my lifestyle a bit....If however, these pains come back, then the hernia will be taken out by Dr. Arslander at LakePoint with a matter of a phone call.

Love you all
Olga
