And so it starts....early, but in Minnesota, what can you ever expect?? NOT the weather!!

*sigh......
Its here. Winter in Minnesota has officially popped in. As I sit here there is snow on the ground. Yes, snow. It did accumulate even after all them professional weather people said it would not. There is sits. The past few MN winters that I have experienced, I haven't had anything to make it that terrible. But this year, I no longer have my Lincoln. Well, I have it, but its out of commission. Now I have a hand me down "work" car. And that's on its way out because the heating and defrost don't work at all. So at the moment my dad is working on his old "work" car to try and get it back to running because the heat works in it. ("work" cars are cars that are used solely for the purpose of getting a concrete worker and his dirty concrete covered tools to the work yard.) So, not only does it have to be fixed it has to be cleaned and vacuumed repeatedly because after you clean it from somewhere the concrete dust rises and lands everywhere. No matter how much you clean it, the dust comes back. Not that I mind that though. It will be the switching of insurance that will bother me. As soon as the car my dad is fixing now is running he will be working on my Dodge InCrapid to try to fix the heating unit so that as soon as one dies I can move to the next. *sigh. Stupid winter.

On the up side its about time to carve pumpkins!!! 2 weeks is all I have left to think of the perfect thing to carve into my pumpkin!! :D I also have to find a costume and I am getting Zoe one because I found one for $7 and its a squirrel and its perfect!! hehehehe. As winter is here, I will be cuddling up and spending a lot of my time reading and sipping hot cocoa, cider, tea, and coffee. I have to stash up on some STASH tea. I love it and they have some wintery holiday flavors that make me all warm and fuzzy inside. Well, I am off to find my snow pants and boots. No way am I driving anywhere without them in my trunk especially with the crapmobiles I will be driving this winter.
