Spending Money

I somehow feel that I am single handedly driving the South Florida economy. Over the last month I have paid off the loan on my truck ($1100), bought a new washer and dryer for the house ($750), had my oak trees trimmed ($400), bought some new shelves for the "ballroom" ($300), and paid my first 2006 Florida summer electricity bill ($160). Actually I was happy the FPL bill was only $160...normally they are closer to $200. I've definitely removed some things from my "to do" list, but this is downright silly. Rumor has it that there might be some more big expenses on the horizon. Time to start working harder I guess. In addition to the weather recently (will it ever stop raining?), I get the distinct pleasure of fulfilling my civic responsibilities at jury duty next week. Whoo-hoo...when it rains it pours, huh?
