Wednesday Forecast

Highs:
An hour to myself: I took Lulu to swim lessons and I had 1 hour to kill so I was able to chat with several friends. It is always nice to catch up.

Dental Insurance: Received a reimbursement check from our dental insurance for the work Lulu had done on her teeth. Not the total amount, but a hefty portion.

Buying the same book twice: There are some advantages. I've been reading The Poisonwood Bible and the other day I misplaced it. I've searched high and low, but haven't been able to locate it. Thankfully I went to my bookshelf and saw I purchased a second copy for just such an occasion (okay not really- I just bought the stinking thing twice). I've been able to jump right back into reading it and have stopped looking.

Enjoying Life: Yesterday we went to our local pool for a birthday party. It started to rain and everyone ran under the umbrellas to wait it out, even the little kids. I commented that I thought it was funny because we were all there in our bathing suits, waiting to get in the pool, but were huddled under an umbrella so we wouldn't get wet. So- I got the kids involved in a game of "Bear, Bear, What time is it?" in the rain. We had fun running around and getting wet.

Lows:
Electric Bill: We received our electric bill today.. $266.33. Hello. $266.33 for electricity. We seriously try and conserve as much as possible so I'm at a complete loss. Our thermostat was set at 78-- it is now set at 80. We also told Lulu she isn't allowed to have her bathroom light on at night, but will have to make due with a night light. I know.. we are awful, but $266.33.

Shocking, but today has been a really great day and I don't have another low to add. Yee haw.
