First, it's a red truck. Nope not the fire department, although, that has happened in the past..... Second, a man is pulling a long hose across the front lawn. ( I told you NOT the fire department!) Third, soon I will get a bill for $450. Give up??? ANDERSON FUEL. The most HATED person in my haus frau head and household! I truly feel like running out the front door, screaming...."get away, get away you money sucking freak!"
Why, why, do the winter months, which happen to be depressing enough, drain us of all our money? Or more specifically....my FUN money! Think about it....November and December we are running around like lunatics spending money on food, gifts and fun for OTHERS. January rolls around, and just when us Haus Fraus need a lift, like say a pedicure or massage or the like, the extra goes toward really stupid things like heating oil. Further what makes me insane is the fact that this gouge is not really necessary. WHY is the heating oil and gasoline so expensive? Sure, sure, you can give me all that blah, blah, blah on energy consumption, global warming, and a war in Iraq....but who really suffers? I mean REALLY suffers? It's the women, of course! I take some personal satisfaction that the SOB's who are laughing all the way to the bank with my extra $900 (which I will have to spend this winter to keep my house a toasty 66 degrees) will suffer in a cold hell....I can assure you of that. $900 equals at least three dinners out with friends, 10 pedicures and a few massages, and perhaps a new frock to lighten the gray winter days. Not fair! I need it more than they do!
I'm off to put on my house scarf and second pair of socks. So much for living in New England. Hey Floss.....can I borrow that coat?

You read my mind! I was going to say (in as snarky as possible way given that it is in print and I can't give my snooty inflection...) that if you HAD my coat, you could turn the heat down to 50 while the kids were at school and save a few bucks!
$20 baby! They might have one left in your tiny size!!!
Touche! Or in my case, a new frock to lighten and/or darken the grays from these winter days!:)
I heard that truck this morning gurgling and sucking...and I was HOPING AND PRAYING it wasn't a fire truck (again!)!!
Oh yeah, if the coat isn't enough...my daughter has this new Elmer Fudd style hat that is very stylish...and she calls everything I wear "gay"!! HA!....even though it looks very cute on her, I am taking a picture of her in it for the photo album I am giving to her husband on their wedding day!! YUP! What goes around comes around!! :)
Stay warm...although from what I hear, you may have a respite in the heating department, as it's supposed to be near 60 degrees next week...yeah, you gotta love this New England weather!!
Hre's another idea...make sure Mike gets shitcanned and then call 1-800-JOE4OIL
60?? wow!!! I'm heading to the beach! with a sleepingbag/coat from ocean state job lot!!
