Electricity Usage Facts and Figures

Hi,
I finally found my bill with all the facts: Here goes:
My last bill was for 61 days. I set up two tanks in this time and has a
turtle tank that has been running for almost a year. I actually removed
the
turtle heater and used it for the smaller fish tank. Things that I
brought
online in this time a 1 250 watt Ebo Jager heater for a 55 gallon
tank,
1 XP3 filter (pull about 28 watts), 2 Hagen powerheads and one Whisper 10
filter (for a 5 gallon tank) and 4 32 watt fluorescent bulbs.
My actual usage was 2847 KWH and last year it was 1759. I used 508 KWH at
.1249 and 2339 KWH at .1179. I pulled last year's bill for this time
period
and my usage was only 1553 KWH.
Since I setup my 55 gallon tank my usage has doubled. My wife started
blow
drying her hair but that is only for 5 minutes each morning. I'm
totally dazed by this new bill and am not sure what to think. Any advice
would be appreciated.
I would investigate the wife. Why is she blow drying the hair? Why the
change in lifestyle? Does she have a boyfriend who is keeping the fridge
open while searching for cold beers? I believe this will lead to answers.
