currently.....stealing post ideas

Copycat is the highest form of flattery right? probably not, but let's pretend it is. My Idaho friend (I call her a friend because then it seems less creepy when I type the word stalk) that I stalk read her blog over at September Farm recently wrote a One of those posts about everything + nothing...Currently so I figured I'd better do the same. I'm a random person, so a random post would be good. For the record, I've never actually met Karli, so I might really be stalking her blog. No shame.

so currently....................................................

browsing pinterest for anything and everything to transform my 1972 Airstream Overlander into the perfect mix of rustic, tiny house glamper. I think I've finally settled on an overall design and just finding the perfect finishing touches. Just envision barnwood, the colors of peacocks, stock tanks, custom upholstery, corregated metal, chalk paint, sheep skin rugs and chandeliers. Lest we not forget revamping original gas lights.

wearing shorts and a t-shirt. Its hot and I chose today to be super lazy and say NO to things I didn't want to do. Did I have a really good reason, no not really. I'm just tired and want some down time.

watching Pitch Perfect 2. Each summer I turn off my Dish to save money. I don't usually have time to watch it anyway, so why pay for it. Dish Pause is the best thing since sliced bread. But....then there are those 1-2 lazy days where you wish you had something to watch.

wishing I hadn't eaten pizza and lemon bars and called it dinner. Not only did I choose not to exercise today, I also chose to eat crap food. You win some, you lose some.

disturbed about Hillary. I'm struggling that as a woman I'm supposed to be so happy that she made history by becoming the first woman Presidential nominee. I guess when I think about women I look up to, she is about as far down the list as I can imagine. Making history isn't always a good thing...just sayin.

sipping on wine. Its a wine week. period.

wondering if I'm going to die on my bike ride on Friday....you know the whole conscious decision to not work out today.......

looking forward to seeing where life takes me over the next few months

working on Wilson the Airstream. July was a slow work month, but my project manager and I are gearing up for some work days. Hopefully we can get pesky things like plumbing, electrical and weather sealing out of the way and get on to building and decorating!

nervous about getting through the next few months at work. We are unusually slow and that gives me anxiety.

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...
