Amish No More

Seems we can no longer claim the title of Amish. We've been bragging for months that our PG&E bills are no more than $25.00...in fact, last month, it was -$13.50! Pretty impressive. But really only because we don't have a dryer or a dishwasher or a microwave...we never have lights on...we don't use our tv right now...we don't have desktop computers, only laptops... In fact, we only use 5kwh a DAY! Niiiiice.

But today is a sad day because it got so cold that we actually had to start up the furnace. I'm not gonna lie...it scares the hell out of me! I'm pretty much convinced that we are going to die of carbon monoxide poisoning OR the furnace is going to explode. I've already run both scenarios in my head...and neither of them turn out well.

Why in the world am I oh so worried about these things happening? Because this house turned 50 years old this year...and with it, the furnace celebrated as well! Yes, we are using a furnace that is almost twice my age. Every time it kicks on I jump out of my skin.

But you take a look at it and tell me you wouldn't be a little scared, too... It's the rattling that gets me.

Warm & Cozy

Whoa!  It's been awhile, huh?

Well, to explain what October was like at work would take years and quite frankly, I don't even want to get into it anyway.

Instead...

Take a look at some pictures of the first fire of the season in our new-ish home!  I'm so so cozy right now...

Another Flea Market find today...this is a weird picture that Chris picked up.  It's like a scary movie:

*sorry for the poor quality, I took it with my phone at Chris's house
