NASCOE is our employees association that I have recently became more involved with. WYASCOE is our state chapter of this national organization, and yours truly was tricked into becoming the president of WYASCOE this year. The actual tricking took place 2 years ago when they talked me into running for vice-president.
FSA, my place of work, has been under severe budget constraints and cut backs over the last 5 or so years and any face-to-face training has been replaced by corny online presentations that are useless. BUT with 2014 Farm Bill and its many new programs, USDA managed to find some money to hold face-to-face trainings on the new programs.
WYASCOE is voluntary membership and we always try to host a fun event when employees from all corners of the state convene in Casper for training. It normally consists of a cash bar, snick-snacks, and sitting around talking about work.....well we decided it was high time for a change!
This year the night activity hosted by WYASCOE was Minute to Win It games.....complete with trophies and it was a hit!
[Linking up with Sami @ Sami's Shenanigans for Weekend Shenanigans] If you didn't read about me thinking that 30 might suck , boy oh boy was I wrong! The weekend might have started off a little rough, but even I-80 in the winter couldn't ruin our fun! A week late, but hey I warned you I might need some extra recovery time since I'm 30, not to mention I had lots of people waiting on little ole' me to return and get to work for them! OKTrailerPark Friend and Mr. OKTrailerPark Friend (he might be getting his own name since I know him better now, we will see) were on their way to Wyoming when BAM, I-80 is closed from Cheyenne to Laramie. For anyone who lives in Wyoming or has been to Wyoming in the winter is not at all shocked by this. So they got one of the few hotel rooms left in Cheyenne, dropped a few bills at the western store and had a "down home" breakfast before heading on west the next day. Meanwhile, the rest of us, Little Sister, Little S...
My friend Football Fan over at Figuring Out the Plot had gotten this from a friend on Facebook, but she recreated hers on her blog to which I was the 5th comment (so I get a prize sometime this year!) and I get to pay it forward! And lets be honest....who doesn't love getting real live mail that isn't a bill so lets blow up my email with comments today! 2013 Inspirational Pay It Forward: The first five people to comment on this status & re-post, will receive in the next calendar year, an "inspirational" gift or surprise from me...you never know what you will get! If you're 1 of my 5 lucky friends, I'll need your address if I don't already have. The catch is that you have to be willing to post on your page and do the same for others (creative, inspirational (like me) or whatever is authentically you)! Let the posting begin! I've been in the crafting mood lately and I'm addicted to Pinterest so I'm pretty sure that you will get ...
I've wanted to get back to blogging, but every time I open it up, all I see is a giant list of posts that I haven't completed or published. So in effort to get back to writing without overwheming myself, you're getting the closet clean-out of 2019. All the awesome things that I was able to do, but never got around to writing about, but are still awesome and deserve a shout out on Almost Gypsy Soul. Hawaii Longtime friends invited me on their family graduation trip to Waikiki, Hawaii in January. Rankin was graduating from college in May and had signed to join the Marines. Ever since he was a little boy, he had wanted to visit Pearl Harbor and so we did. The trip was a wonderful time to catch up with 4 people that I love dearly and to see a part of Hawaii I'd never been to. Highlights of the trip for me were the Polynesian Cultural Center, Dole Plantation, Pearl Harbor and of course the beach and seafood. Texas I know I said I'd dedicate an entire post to my...
