I have been watching all of our electricity usage and trying out the whole drying rack concept for clothes drying (instead of my dryer). I am happy to report that out of 12 loads of laundry this week, I have "line-dryed" 7 loads. I am still using the dryer for our towels and sheets since I can't have an outside clothes line. I am actually enjoying not using my dryer :) It takes a bit longer to the laundry, but I for some reason putting it all away takes less time.
We have had so many nice days here in the last few weeks. My windows have been open and the air conditioning off. It has been wonderful! Not only do we have fresh air circulating in the house, but my electricity usage is down... bonus!
However, in the midst of all this saving on my end - my dear, sweet husband has been hard at work in the basement painting, doing trim work and everything else. Great, right?! Except when I walked down on Saturday to every single light on... including the 500 watt halogen. All this and my husband working in a small corner of the basement nowhere near most of the lights - ARRRRGGGGGHHHHH! I'm thinking all of his lights have canceled out my "line-drying" this week... sigh :)
On the girls' lunch menu today:
