I’ve gotten a lot of response on my previous blogs regarding OG&E SmartHours and their thermostats. These rate hikes can be confusing so I thought I would post some things that I found helpful. I found these two photos on the OG&E facebook page. I’ve noticed that someone at OG&E is taking the time to respond to people on FB. Like their page and maybe you can get some questions answered. Also – check out their website for a video on how to program your smart thermostat.
I’m not sure why I’m taking the time to post all of these helpful hints. You already know how to google OG&E to find answers. Heck, maybe you did that and it brought you here. If so…welcome! I’ve already done my duty to OG&E but I somehow I feel responsible to the readers who are here looking for answers. I’ve already gone above and beyond when it comes to blogging for OG&E. I’m doing it for you guys…I want you to save money and be happy at the same time (even though saving money means sweating it up during the hours of 2-7 p.m.) I think it must be my people pleasing personality and my inability to say “no” (although I’m getting a lot better at it). I also think this is my pitiful attempt to help the environment. When I think about all those air conditioners chugging away in 107 degree heat all I can see is the CO2 being spewed into our beautiful blue skies. And then I think about the power plants working over time to keep all our houses cool. Where do you think all that energy comes from? Contrary to what environmental nay-sayers think, power plants are not run on fairy dust. Stepping down from my soapbox now.
What I really should be doing instead of blogging about thermostats is finding out who the heck is going to toss King Joffrey’s sorry butt from that throne. Robb, Stannis or Daenerys; I don’t care as long as he gets his because that kid is a punk. I’m only on book three so please don’t respond with a spoiler.
Anyhoo – Now that I’ve gotten these helpful hints out into bloggyland and gotten a little bit of an environmental load off my chest, I’ll return with normal posts soon. Yummy food and cute crafts/wreaths coming soon.
Hi! I'm a stay-at-home mom, community volunteer, reader and lazy. I'm a mother of two sweet boys. I love their hugs and kisses but I don't love wiping their snotty noses. Being a mom is my most important job to date but I think it's important to define myself in other ways too. That's part of what this blog is about. Thank you SO much for taking time out of your day to read it. I hope you enjoy it!

/ June 28, 2012I’m a fellow SmartHours blogger and wanted to see what others are doing. I LOVE that you explained the color lights. I guess I could have looked up the info, but there you had it! Thanks bunches! After receiving our May/June bill and having a big savings, I’m kind of excited to see how we come through these few hot days. I think Mike should get us all together again now that we’re in the thick of it. Thanks again!
Hugs, Kisses and Snot
