it won't stop snowing

Every time I watch the weather forecast-and believe them, I wonder why. It's been so cold, yesterday at 9am it was 9 below-before wind chill factors and today it's 10 above and feels warm! It's a heck of a start to our winter. I'm wondering if it's going to keep this up through January which could make for a very long, tiring season.

I did take time to pile another load on the snow fort although I felt guilt for constructing something fun when I've so much work to do.

My largest task right now: I need to find a job. I'm not thrilled with this on my plate and every other day I've no energy to make it happen. My spirit does not understand why so much emphasis is put into materialism and seeking the mighty green dollar. I just hate that side of our reality. And all these Christmas commercials just irritate me further. Getting new stuff has nothing to do with baby Jesus & redemption and most of those fools haven't a clue about the real reason of the season. I'm not putting up a tree nor am I buying presents. I am baking & sharing my cookie wealth. I'm not trying to play scrooge, but I'm not spending money I don't have for stuff people don't need or want. Give of yourself, that's what He wants.

So that silly weatherman predicted snow accumulation of less than an inch. I awoke to about 4" and it's still coming down-quite heavily too I might add. I've shoveled twice today (it's only noon) and am awful grateful my neighbor is polite enough to do my drive. I'm going to have to bake them something special.
Okay that's all the boring crap I have for now. :)
