Okay...so we got our first electricity bill for the house. Mind you, we are only half living here thus far and it is only for part of the month. It ended up being 3x the amount that I had originally budgeted (I thought I took everything into account!)! We are thinking it's the air conditioner. It's a very old unit and with the temps at what they've been lately (112 last weekend), I don't know what I'm gonna do! So if you find that I haven't posted in an unusually long time I may be laying on the floor with heat exahstion...! But, at least we have a pool now...guess I'll be spending a lot more time in there!
