I stumbled accross your blog looking for something unrelated but I did want to leave a comment.
I see that you phone + internet + cable is about $270/month, which is just crazy. I don't know if you have Comcast in your area, but they are offering the three (phone with unlimited long distance, basic cable and DSL) for $99/month (before taxes).
If you don't have Comcast, take a look at any of your providers of phone/internet/cable and see if you can't get some sort of combo deal - it would definitely be worth it!
Good luck!
