Money

Our electric bill this month was $133.

We are no longer allowed to use the lights, except in the kitchen. Right now I am doing a contraband load of laundry. When hubby gets back home, I will somehow have to prove to him that I have been doing laundry in the resevoir. I am working on a way to hook up all of the animals to a wheel, and then trying to figure out how to channel their energy into electricity.

The cats just lay down when I attach them to the wheel. Stupid cats. Tomorrow I am going to go buy a whip. That'll get 'em moving.

Hubby is also losing his mind because I just spent $100 on scrubs. Actually, I am kind of losing my mind because I spent $100 on scrubs. Are there coupons for scrubs?

Now I have to go clean the house. I have a friend coming in tomorrow for the Colts game. I will be sure to tell her not to eat off any of the dishes, because I washed them in cold water. Hot water makes the water heater run, which uses electricity.

Also, no showers. Bathe in the resevoir.

Don Quixote - NEVER MENTION SUCH AN ATROCITY AGAIN!

Oh, and good luck with the cat wheel. I have to admit our cats are so steadfastly lazy it's a marvel. Let me know if you get it working.

That's awesome!!! Just be careful, the pet labor laws are kind of strict :-) My favorite penny pinching story is still the re-usable vacuum bag story.....

This book is like the movie Serendipity. Wow! the first time around, still pretty great for consequent readings.
