See, I get my e-mail messages through my Blackberry. The other day my phone vibrated indicating I had a new message. I usually just get work messages or blogger comments (which are my favorite) but this e-mail message made me want to throw up with nervousness. It was my ENERGY BILL AHHHH! As I nervously opened the e-mail I was praying the bill was under $250. All Winter it stayed around $275 and seriously I was considering just letting them cut off the electricty this month if it was that High again and just try to rough it like Laura Ingalls...I mean I do have chickens now and everything.
I opened the message and scrolled down to the dreaded AMT DUE: line and low and behold a beautiful $145 stared back at me! (cue angels singing) I wanted to marry that beautiful $145 and love it forever! I couldn't believe it...then I remembered that we kept the air/heat off and opened the windows and used a small space heater for warmth. I also decided not to do laundry for the month of March which left Sean gripeing about laundry but AT LEAST I SAVED MONEY. Because that was my intentions from the get go...not because i'm tired of laundry or anything.
Anyway how appropriate that a few days later my blackberry buzzed with another message about a GIVE AWAY that was all about saving energy!! Earth Day is on April 22nd and it's turning 40 this year!!
