Livin’ Life On The Lamb

Well, when we bought this house and went to turn on the utilities, we found out that the whole house it entirely electric. This gave us a great discount on our electric bill and makes for really fast heating, cooling and cooking also.

We have been doing really well with keeping the bill down, but last month it jumped up to $145.00. That is the very highest bill we’ve had. Granted last month was a COLD month, but we knew we had to change a few things. We turn off lights, fans, the stove, and just be very aware of what electronics we have on. We’ve also opened the windows during the day to keep the house nice and cool.

I have changed a few habits as well; because we have those really great LED nightlights in every room, I rarely have to turn on any lights when I, say, go into our bathroom to brush my teeth. I have been doing this for a month now and never had a mishap.

Ahem, all I have to say is that I yelled at Gila Man to never, EVER put his tube of hydrocortisone cream on the same shelf as MY toothpaste ever again.

What a price to pay to keep the freakin’ bill down. YUK!!!
