lights out

what happens when i switch getting our electric bill from paper to online statements and don't tell ronnie?

answer: we don't pay our bill for two months and get a notice that they will be turning off the power next week.

let's just say ronnie went nuts. 

oops.

it was also a little more than embarrassing when i called to make the payment over the phone and the lady ask if i was sure i could afford to pay the whole thing off at one time.  she really wanted me to consider only making a partial payment so as not to stress our other financial obligations. 

i felt poor. 

and hated life.
