You might be wondering why I am just blogging all the time and Marie has been quiet. Well, it is because Marie is off to Mexico (and I am sure she will honor us with her fabulous trip synopsis when she gets back). That and she was crazy busy leading up to her departure. I know how that feels. I am getting ready to visit my people in Oregon and I am completely swamped with work. I type faster than I can even think, and I like to think I am a quick-witted gal, so blogging is really easy for me. That and I am pretending that if I don't look at the pile of work, it will go away. Hee.
How about these Democratic primaries? Eh? Wack-a-doo. I tell you, it makes for good television but I am not sure how well either candidate is going to fare against Sen. Mack come November. While they are busy trying to bury each other, he is going about the business of running for president. Someone needs to step aside.
Gas here reached $3.65 a gallon today. I am just horrified and really wish I bought a Prius intstead of a minivan a few years back. Our heating bill averaged $700 per month this winter. Seriously. How out of control is that? And we were not even "pushing" it with the heat. This area gets very (very) cold in the wintertime. I think we need to buy a woodstove insert to make our fireplace less of a energy-sucking void and we need to invest in electric space heaters come next fall. It will be cheaper to heat our home using electricity.

Gas here has been $3.65 for awhile now. It makes me sick that we could have a hybrid car payment for the same monthly amount we spend on gas. Same with our heat bill. We have 2 space heaters and our electric bill was astronomical. Sick, I tell ya.
