conserve energy

First of all, I'm soo behind on my blog and I promise I will update soon.

Secondly, Alicia's husband Brian works for the city of Riverside and she was telling me all of the things that they tell everyone to do to conserve energy. I'm sure that we know all of these things but just in case here are some tips:

1. set your thermostat at 78 degrees
2. do not run major appliances between the hours of 12 noon and 8 pm
3. turn off lights when you leave a room
4. keep all window coverings closed

number 4 made the hugest difference at my house. We have a ton of windows and the blinds are ALWAYS open. so we closed every single blind, drape and window shade and my house is SOOOOOOOO much cooler!! it especially helps upstairs!
