Green grass is NOT free......```


I was so excited to open my power bill the other day
I have been working on energy saving measures
Randy hung a clothes line for me and i have been hanging
my clothes for the past 3 or 4 weeks
I have two ofthe fancy little energy saving light bulbs
Turning off the lights when not in use
and the TVs
and the computers
I only started using the air condiners in the past week or so

Anyways I was so EXCITED
thinking I bet my power bill will be under a $100.00
maybe even under $90.00
I just about fell over when I opened it and it was
$162.00 OMG
I just don't get it It doesn't seem like
we use that much electricity..
It has to be the beautiful green grass

and the $3000.00 worth of bushes we planted in lew of
building a fence
they are not looking so hot :-(
well the roadside ones aren't
but the sideyard ones are looking pretty good
will take pictures of them later

So now..........
I am now on
a mission to see if I can get a powerbill
less than $100.00 next month...

WTH is all over Rylan's tummy? LOL! Was he finger painting himself? Energy prices have gone up from last year and that is why you may have been expecting a lower bill. I envy you being able to go this long w/o the a/c. Ours has been on since May. lol! Fortunately, we don't use much heat fall-spring. Good luck with reducing your bill, I look forward to seeing how the experiment goes.
