Awesomeness!

I have gotten a new alarm clock.  I am actually sad about parting with my old one.  I have invested too much time and energy into the old alarm clock….

First of all, it was one of the first purchases made after I moved out of the ex-hubby’s house.  So I am a little sentimental….

Second of all, it is as bright as the damn sun.  Seriously.  The thing is bright enough to read by.  At first, the alarm clock kept me up at night.  I actually worked at going to sleep with it on for about a month before I got used to it.

Third of all, the sound the alarm makes……well, it scares me to death every single morning.  It is LOUD.  LOUD.  LOUD.  I seriously scare myself awake every morning.

Finally, for the last month, it has become possessed.  It started out only slightly possessed…..I would get up and turn the alarm clock off.  It would continue to go off like I had pressed the snooze button.  Then that progressed to going off at whatever time the alarm was set to, whether the alarm was turned on or not.  Then, finally, it would go off at 5AM, whether the alarm was on or not or whether the alarm was set for 5AM or not.  This means that I would need to get up at 9AM, so I would set my alarm for 9AM.  The next morning, the damn alarm clock would go off at 5AM….AND never at 9AM.

I put up with all of this for over a month.  I have finally broken down and bought a new alarm clock.  It is pretty and white.  It has a dimmer!!  It has 2 different alarm clock functions.  It automatically sets the time for you.  It is uber smart.  It has a soothing sound for its alarm noise.  It is wonderful.

I am now looking for a home for my possessed alarm clock.  I have tried to give it to my sister…but apparently she has heard the stories.  I wonder if the ex-hubby wants it?
