30/31: I'm a 30 something

When I started pushin' 30, it started pushin' back......and I compiled this Dirty 30 list .

"If ya ain't cheatin', ya ain't tryin'" That is how I totally justified starting on my Dirty 30 list before I actually turned 30 (by 2 months) and am stretching it until I am officially no longer 30. What to see what I got done in 365 days (like normal people)?

What did I manage to get done between 1 year and 1 year, 2 months?


26. Finish my house projects - trim, yard, closet doors
Finally getting some of these last details completed and I'll be honest, I wish I wouldn't have procrastinated so long. The little details sure make my house look a lot better. And that baby is SOLD!


3. Buy the person behind me's meal
I think maybe I waited so long on this one because it ultimately needed to be slightly altered. I found out that the sheep herders LOVE any kind of sweets and I happen to love making sweets, but since I have a weight loss goal (See goal #4) that means I can't eat them all. So I've made it my personal mission to make sure that sheep camp is stocked with homemade goodies on holidays!


4. Lose 30 lbs (7/30) (5/30) (14/30)(25/30)
Slow and steady wins the race. I'm still working on this, I am trying some new programs, joined a challenge group that is full of motivating ladies and as always trying to straighten out my diet. Even though this one isn't finished, I still wanted to include it on here because I've managed to impress even myself. Never in a million years did I think I could make it this far, now a final push to the goal and eventually my goal weight.

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

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
