Old folks gettin' down

Yep, that's right, I've returned to relying on  my Junior High volleyball skills to get me through old folks' volleyball league. Its still not that hard to get down on the floor, but possibly slightly harder to get up than I remember from 20 10 years ago. What! I'm not old enough to say anything "20 years ago...." I just can't. nope. not. possible.

We are the fun team that is mediocre, we have our bright shiny moments often followed by "are you a JH volleyball team" moments. Personally I think we are just saving it up for the tournament, but think what you will.

We play every Sunday during "season", usually back to back games because we are tough like that. Little Sister was in town last week so we talked her into playing on our team even though she has never played vb before. Of course she was good.

Anyway, sorry for the lame pictureless post, disappointing I know, but we usually don't even have a full team much less an extra to play photographer. I guess just use your imagination. And when you do can you picture me as one of those thin girls that can jump really high? Thanks.

    This sounds fun. In my mind, you're jumping and hitting like Logan Tom. Good thing you didn't have pictures that might have proven me wrong. ;)

    Here's to hoping there's no tiny little spandex shorts in the adult league like there is in high school 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...
