My one and not-so-only

Can you do it? Can you pick 1 song.....only 1 and call it your favorite song? I think I can. I've been calling this 1 song my favorite for like 5 years now. It could change tomorrow, but I'm just not sure that it will. ever. forever-ever.


All-time #1: Randy Rogers Band - This Time Around



But then I decided to challenge myself.

On a side note....I had a friend once (we will call him Keith Stone for this story). Anyway I get a call one Sunday morning and Keith proceeded to tell me about the previous nights events in somewhere, Texas, it went something like this:

Keith Stone: Hey bud.
KS's friend: Hey what's up?
Keith Stone: If you challenge yourself to drink 12 Keystone's that you found in your brother's girlfriends front yard while you drive around the loop (which takes 40 minutes), are you an alcoholic?
KS's friend: Uh, yeah bud, that's a little alcoholic.
KS's friend: You aren't still driving right now are you?
Keith Stone: No, I'm sitting in a parking lot waiting for a ride.

Anyway, back to challenging myself......I challenge myself to pick my favorite song of my top 10 favorite red dirt musicians/bands. Now please take into account I've been living out of Oklahoma for almost 1 6 years. WHAT! How did that happen?????? 6 years?????? So here they are my top 10 20 red dirt musicians/band and my top 10  20 songs from them (ok ok, its really 11 21 because of my all time numero uno). In no particular order....................

  1. Aaron Watson - Barbed Wire Halo
  2. Bo Phillips - Perfect Girl
  3. Clint Ingersol - Beautiful As You Are
  4. The Great Divide - Yesterday Road
  5. Micky & The Motorcars -  Pointless Love
  6. Jason Savory - Off My Mind
  7. Reckless Kelly - Stick Around
  8. Casey Donahew Band - Stockyards
  9. Cross Canadian Ragweed - Dimebag
  10. Eli Young Band - Even If It Breaks Your Heart
  11. Jason Boland - Proud Souls
  12. No Justice - Still Missing You
  13. Wade Bowen - Tired of Being Alone
  14. Bobby Dale Band - Crazy Beautiful
  15. James Nicks - Redneck Cadillac
  16. The Dirt Drifters - Hurt Somebody
  17. Josh Abbott Band (with Trent Willmon & Roger Creager) - End of a Dirt Road
  18. Bleu Edmondson - Last Last Time
  19. Stoney LaRue - Feet Don't Touch The Ground
  20. Kevin Fowler - The Lord Loves a Drinkin' Man
I had to make myself stop. Challenge 1, Jen 0. I think I might have a problem.

Enjoy my favorites, look 'em up on iTunes (if you are as cool as me) or YouTube (if you haven't seen the light yet).

    Oooo, I love this! I can't pick one. Or 10, really. It's like too much pressure. Maybe I'll work on it. I think if I had to pick one, I would pick Feet Don't Touch the Ground. I think. For now.

CARRY! On Monday my phone rang with an unknown number, I don't usually answer these, so I guess since I was really over the place of employment project I was working on I decided "what the hey" "Hello" "Is this Jennifer blah blah blah?" [ah, crap] (see here how I'm protecting my PII) "Yes, it is" "This is the Sheriff's Office, calling to tell you your concealed carry permit is in" "Great!, I'll be out to pick it up today!" And now, I am officially licensed to conceal carry......and put a rush on that Dirty 30 list item to find a pretty gun and a super cool shoulder sling! And yes, PII....that's what working for the federal government will do to your blog.

What i'm loving wednesday: winter

Image
[Linking up with Jamie at  This Kind of Love for What I'm Loving Wednesday!] One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb I'm LOVING..........Winter I love winter! but I hate shoveling snow. As it snowed around here (finally AND 2 days in a row!), I thought about my hatred for shoveling snow....I think if it were either light before I went to work or after I got home, maybe shoveling wouldn't be so bad. So snow and winter go hand-in-hand, how can I love winter if I don't like shoveling snow?   Playing in it of course! Christmas markets, throwing snowballs, snowmobiling, snowshoeing, sleigh rides, hot tubbing, cabins and fireplaces, hot snock-o-late, big snowflakes, crisp untouched fields blanketed in fresh snow. It's a clean slate and I love it! Have a great winter and enjoy all it has to offer! Here is a picture I took a while back my way home from snowboarding at Beaver Mountain, Utah (a great little ski area btw). This is...

Losing the farm

Image
When I tell people I work for the Farm Service Agency, I either get a knowing nod like "oh you are one of those government employees" or I get a "what do you actually do?". I've started leading off with working for the US Department of Agriculture because most people have actually heard of that that. We are a small agency within USDA that administers the farm subsidy, disaster and some insurance programs of the Farm Bill. The farm bill is made up of 15 different titles addressing different areas. The 15 titles or parts of the Farm Bill are , the ones that are bolded are the only ones that I directly work with through FSA. Commodity - provides income support to growers of select commodities Conservation - provides funding for farm environmental stewardship thought programs that improve management practices, retire less productive land and protect natural resources Agricultural Trade & Food Aid - funds US agriculture export a...
