Brrrrrrrrrr....It's cold in here!!

Good Lord what in the hell is going on with the heat bills?? Aren't the oil companies rich enough yet? First, I get a bill for $120 back in October so I turned the thermostat down to 62-64 (from 65-67), then I get a $180 bill so I turned the thermostat down to 60...now I get a bill for over $350! Well, guess where my thermostat is now?...it's set at 55. We also have a gas wall heater that heats the family room and that is where we are most of the time, so setting the thermostat down to 55-60 isn't that big of a deal. But right now in my computer room, I'm freezing!! Sometimes my fingers get so cold, I have to run downstairs and stand by the family room heater to warm them up. I have those things you put at the bottom of doors to keep cold drafts out. I have 4 of them under doors. I have been turning my TV off after Guiding Light ends and not have it run all day....my bill is elec/gas combine...so hoping keeping the TV off most of the day would help. I don't know what else to do except sell the house and move to Arizona or Texas.

Anyway, not only is my scanner not working, but my camcorder is on the fritz as well. So I took no videos at all this Xmas. So I'll have to get it fixed. My cable box totally was shut off so we hooked the cable up the way they want us to, and now I can't get channel 50 (UPN) or channel 20. I complained to the cable company and some cable guy is going to show up tomorrow to see what the problem is.

I gave up on my diet cause of the holidays and I gained another 5 pounds.

So the new year is starting off with a real bang....no scanner, no camcorder, no cable stations, oil companies sucking my money right out of my pocket, and a bigger ass than what I had in 2005.

So what good things have occurred? I'm still not smoking, which accounts for the weight gain, however......and I sold my mom's house at a ridiculous price that I could have done myself without paying some shark realtor.

But we're all healthy!!!!
