#21.4: Letters to a Soldier: duck dynasty edition

This is pretty much the most amazing theme care packages ever (I might be a little biased, but lets just ignore that for now while I revel in my genius).

 I present to you.......... 
YOU TOLD ME TO BRING STUFF. STUFF IS A VERY BROAD TERM. ~SI

I covered the inside of the boxes with camo duck tape and filled it to the top with some wicked awesome goodies like
  • "Duck Dynasty makes me HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY" ~Phil, Duck Dynasty Season 1
  • "If you put camouflage on anything it automatically makes it cool" ~Jace, camo cupcakes
  • "Fear the Beard" costume beards
  • "Help me! I falled and I dropped my tea" ~Si, tea bags
  • "Eatin' squirrel brains is where you get your smarts" ~Miss Kay, "squirrel" summer sausage
  • "If you are too busy to hunt ducks, then you are too busy" ~Jace, nerf guns with rubber duck targets
  • "So now that I have my permit, I know I can't eat a donut and keep my hands at 10 & 2" chocolate covered donuts
  • Miss Kay's famous 'Porduckin'  


Miss Kay's 'Porduckin' is a duck stuffed in a chicken, stuffed in a turkey, stuffed in a pig. A Robertson favorite at the holidays. I made a 'Porduckin' that could survive the trip overseas without getting moldy. Jen's Porduckin recipe is:
I pretty much killed myself on setting the bar too high on this one......if I do say so myself. And yes, I am humble when I have revelations such as this one.

 And a little quote shrine to Duck Dynasty, a few of my favorites!


 "Pretty tires are for sissy rednecks!" ~Si

 "First it's pretty tires, then it's pretty guns...next thing you know, you're shaving' your beard and wearing' Capri pants." ~Si

 "When you don't know what you're doing, its best to do it quickly." ~ Jace

 "The number one rule is.....there are no rules." ~Jace

 "HAPPY, HAPPY HAPPY!" ~Phil

 "JACK" ~ Si

 And my all time favorite.....

 "To see grown men chasing chickens around the subdivision......I'd say America is makin' a comeback." ~Phil

    This is amazing!! I don't watch the show and I can still fully appreciate everything you just said, so you know it's a winner.

    Well done!! Interestingly, I attended a seminar this morning titled "Letting Go of Stuff", and the presenter defined the word "stuff": a matter of a paricular kind yet unspecified. Pretty much exactly what Si said.

WILW: laugh 'til it hurts

Image
[Linking up with Jamie for What I'm Loving Wednesday] A few years back, OKTrailerPark Friend and Snowboard Friend and I went to Canyons in Utah for a girls weekend. We had a slope side condo, reduced price lift tickets, wine and the resort swimming pool. Now when we vacation we do it up right. We snowboarded and rode the alpine slide by day and by night we soaked in the pool, wore sweatpants, cooked dinner in our condo, played cards, drank wine and watched this YouTube video....over and over and over and over. the.best.ab.workout.ever. Whenever I'm having a sub-par day, I pull this video out. I mean I do have it favorited on my work computer even! If this video doesn't make you laugh, go to the emergency room NOW! Here is a little note from Ed and Ross's mom, who posted the video. As you can read Ed and Ross were best friends! PLEASE NOTE..... THESE CLIPS WERE TAKEN OVER A PERIOD OF 18 MONTHS.... ED WAS A VERY GOOD BOY MOST OF THE TIME.... I HAVE HOURS

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

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
