Digging out the candles and blankets

We received our first full month utility bill since moving into our house.

Damn utility bill

Electric, some bogus surcharge, Water, Sewer, and Gas

Damn utility bill

Um?  Ouch.

Starting today, we’re going to start roughing it around here to save a few bucks.  If you happen to drop by, don’t forget to wear your long johns and to bring a flashlight.   I’m going to dig a hole out back for pooping, so don’t be startled if I send you outside to do your business.  Air freshener might be a good idea because I’m certain the whole family will smell due to my new rules, 1.  One bath per month and 2.  Reuse your underwear until they can stand up on their own.

    Oh, that is rough. We keep our heat around 65 (60 at bedtime) and crank up the electric blanket. I’ve been able to keep our utility bill at half of what it was last year. It evens out in the summer though, because I’m an AC addict.
