I'm sure you are wondering why I'm blogging about $705, but I really would like to know what you'd do if you had that extra cash lying around. This was what our electric bill was from SRP (Salt River Project) that we just paid. Don't you wish you lived in Arizona now?! In the 4 years that we've been here, we've never paid more than $400 in the Summer. It's ridiculous. We even had them come audit our house to see if something "funky" was going on with our appliances. I'm thinking we have someone siphoning off electricity from our house because they found nothing unusual. In fact, they said that we have awesome readings...go figure. The only thing that is different this year is our pool and I don't remember that increase in electrical output being a "selling point" in our purchase. Come to find out, the pool guys had our filter running at night a lot longer than necessary (we are apparently not pool saavy yet LOL). So, here is what I'd do with the extra dough:
1. buy 4 new tires, detail package and wax for my van
2. do the works at the spa
3. fly to Disneyland on Southwest saving 6 hours of whining
4. Buy patio furniture
5. Go crazy at DSW!
That's what I'd do right now, but I'm curious to know what is on my friends wish list!

Dude! I'm gonna quit complaining about my $400. bill now.
*Sigh* Well, I spent a cool grand on clothes yesterday, so....I could use some cute new shoes....lol ;)
Holy Cow! Well, we run our pool at night from 9pm-7am actually and our bill is still under $400. What kind of pump did they install?
Well, if I had an extra $705 that wasn't earmarked for anything at ALL I would probably get a new lense for my camera. Or a new laptop. This one is soooo slow.
are you kidding me??? I'd love a new prof camera!!
Wow, Wow, Wow! No Way! hmmm here is my wish list: a landscape bridge, new monitor, furniture (I think I surpassed the 705!) Good luck with the bill!
I'd get a china cabinet.
That is outrageous. I think we'd get our electric turned off for lack of payment. :-P
Holy cow, that is crazy, I think I would probably pass out if I saw that bill! I would most definitely go on a shopping spree for clothes with the money, I am in desperate need of a new wardrobe!
Girl! I know! Max is fine....What's not to like. :) I'm watching last nights and tonights....tonight. I had to watch Biggest Loser last night. So I have no idea who's been voted off so far. It's so nice to have something new to watch. I'm like a kid in a candy store. Yeah! TV! Yeah DVR!
It's Ticket to Ride U.S. version, and I won, Whoohooo! Very fun. I'm a gamer. WE played Kings in the Corner, Slide Five, and Blocus too. I good night.
Did you talk to Kris yet? Do you want to do like Mimi's, or like Jason's Deli, or Magrath's Fish House? I'm just tryin' to think of somewhere there's a big table.
That's one big bill. I would use the money to put toward the $3,000 removalist quote - nothing but a pick up and drop off of furniture - 1 day less $3000 = our furniture moved.....
I would love to do a whole lot more like go and live in a cave or spend the day at a spa :)
