So you may remember me downgrading both my phone/Internet and cable services recently in an effort to be more fiscally responsible considering I won’t have an income for the last half of 2009 and probably all of 2010 (OMG! AM I CRAZY?!?! WHY am I returning to the world of poverty?!?!)….

I’m happy to report that I have now gotten my first full bills post the changes and am now paying $55 LESS per month for cable and $53 LESS per month for phone/Internet. I *could* bring my cable down another $40 if I gave up Sci Fi channel (well….other channels as well, but that’s the only one that concerns me) but I am planning to watch Warehouse 13 (OK it seems like a lame X-Files rip-off but I love Eddie McClintock (remember when he was Sully on Bones? Ah, Sully.)) this summer and Caprica this fall so I figure I’ll keep it for now…

Aren’t you proud of me? Still working on controlling my eating & my spending, my two big self-destructive areas of the moment, but you know, there’s still time. I do have a job for another two months, you know! 🙂
