LIST IT!....5 things I CAN live without and 5 I CAN'T live without

What I CAN live without?

  1. TV I turn my TV off during the summer and I don't even really miss it. Confession I still hit up Music Man's house about once a week to finish the winter seasons of shows that I'm hopelessly addicted to: The Following, Nashville and Big Bang Theory.
  2. MILK - I'm not sure how I do this and I don't want to do it forever, but I've impressed even myself that I was able to stop drinking milk in order to work towards my weight loss goals. Someday soon, this one is going to make it's way back to the CAN'T live without list.
  3. INTERNET - Sure it makes me a terrible blogger, but I've kept so busy I haven't really noticed that I don't have internet at home....blog readers however are a different story. And of course I have internet at work....so its not like I quit cold turkey.
  4. BLUE-RAY - I don't even really know what is so great about it (or what it is), although everyone tells me I just need it. Case in point, someone brings over a RedBox in blue-ray....I can't even play it at my house; however, if you have a VHS, bring it on over....I got that handled!
  5. DIGGING DOGS - My new neighbor's dog likes to dig....under my fence and into my yard. That just won't do if I'm going to spend some hard earned cash to landscape my back yard. I'm gonna go back to my roots and get him  with a pellet gun and/or electric fence. I think he can be trained.
What I CAN'T live without?
  1. MY FITNESS PAL - It helps me stay on track with my eating, something I still struggle with nearly everyday and summer makes it so much worse. Beers and burgers are calling my name.
  2. OVERSIZED ICE PACKS - I love, love, love this oversized ice pack. I discovered them at physical therapy and then ordered one of my own. A little pricy and worth every penny.
  3. IPOD - I find myself listening to my Ipod all the time...work...working out...hanging out at the house...in the car. 
  4. FACEBOOK FITNESS GROUP - This is a group of girls spread all over the place and mentored by Farm Girl Fitness, my Beachbody coach. They hold me accountable, keep me motivated and are so supportive. I really look forward to logging on each day to see what they accomplished, what they struggled with and share my accomplishments and struggles. It really is easier when you have people in your corner.
  5. AMAZON - I'd be a rich woman if this website didn't exist. I'm pretty sure that if I can't find it on Amazon, it doesn't exist!

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...
