Bills


Bills
the worst part of being an adult.
& probably LIFE.

yeah. so we have the beloved monthly Bills.
really only one (yes, we're lucky)
but it's a Power Bill.
you know for that all that power we use;
cooking, cleaning, living.
So our bill has been pretty cheap.
like yeah we are cheap, cheap.
for the first couple months we've been in our "Lake House" 
(that's what we call it - but it's really a trailer)
and by trailer i mean.
The trailer my parents lived in when they were first married.
Just spiffed up quiet a bit.
wood floors and all -
yeah we're fancy ;)

So back to the Bills.
Our most recent power bill was just shy of $200 dollars.
YES. a whole [T w o . h u n d r e d]  dollars.
why?
I'm blaming it on the Christmas Light War.
(hello. mother would you like to pay that bill for causing this war?)
I don't know what y'all bills look like.
but that's just a lot for a kid.

Needless to say, when we got back from Denver.
we had just paid that bill and had it fresh on our minds.
so we decided NOT to run the Heater -
because, perhaps the heat being on 24/7 could contribute to BIG bills.

I think Blake was secretly thrilled that the heater would not be on
BECAUSE
this would mean endless cuddling.

Yeah. well the night went something like this.
Cuddling - 
Then,
Erica waking up in chills.
Blake, rolled over - all nice and snug in the Blanket.
Erica Yanking the Blanket & forcefully saying:
"what happened to the cuddling to stay warm"

Then Waking up to see our thermostat looking something like this:


Okay. Double that. and subtract two.
that's what our thermostat said.
yes.
50 DEGREES

did I say it was COLD?

Any donations to our "keep the Anderson's heat on" fund would be greatly appreciated ;)

Stay Warm
& Keep Your Heat on,
The Andersons

  1. I don't think people who only have ONE bill to pay deserve any donations ;)

  2. Good point Holly! Nor should someone who started a "war" ask for reparation when they are decimated by the very ones they declared "war" on.
