Hehehe. So, check this out....

This morning, the clock struck 5, the alarm went off, and my wife grumbled, rolled, and all I heard was SPLASH! POP!! zzzzt. DINK! "DAMMIT." So, I endearingly said, "That's a fine way to start your last day teaching before Spring Break." She wasn't amused. Apparently, she left a glass of water on the bedside table. She went in the bathroom to get a towel to clean up her mess, and after she cleaned it, she started getting ready.
Well, a couple minutes later, I heard sounds coming out of the clock. It was getting louder and louder. It was talking to me. So I reached over and felt it. It was still damp, and it was playing. I turned the switch to the OFF position, and it still played. I switched it to every position, hit every button, and it played on.
So, I called her back in, told her she had destroyed the alarm (the clock still works on it though), and she needs to get a new one while she's in Columbus (where she works). She felt all bad. I told her to not worry about it. That alarm is the WORST SOUNDING, most horrific POS ever conceived, and I paid 10 bucks for it like 9 years ago. Then I popped the question: Don't you think we should take this opportunity to upgrade....get something decent? By this, I meant (and she knows this) something with at least dual alarms, indiglo, CD player, decent sound (for an alarm clock), gradual wakeup, etc. etc. etc..... Her answer? "Yeah. maybe. We'll go see when I get home tonight." SCOOOOOORE! :) Hehehe. See, we registered for one when we got married, and nobody bought it. --And she is all about wanting a CD alarm clock. So, this is the perfect exuse. :) Next stop: burn a CD of me screaming GET UP!!!! YOU'RE GONNA BE LATE!!! AAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!! GET UP! GET UP!!!! HEATHERRRR!!!! with sirens and alarms blaring in the background. Hehehe. I'm sure she'sll love when I pop that CD in. :)

Hehe. Well, I can take it. It would actually be worth seeing the RAGE on that puffed-up morning face. I've seen it a time or two before. There's really nothing funnier. Her face all smushed in on one side, pilloe creases, puffy eyes, pout the size of Texas, coming-out-of-dream-state confusion look.... And then trying to make that funny face look pissed. F U N N Y. :) The last time I saw it, she had hit snooze at 5:09. Well, the snooze goes off every 9 minutes on the minute.... So, since I was wide awake, I looked at the clock at 9:16 and watched until it turned to 9:17. The second it did, I watched the second hand on my watch.... When it got to 5 seconds until the alarm was to go off again, I did this big loud countdown. 5...4...3...2...1...IGNITION!!! BAMMMM!!!!! The SLAMMED her fist down on that alarm clock (I'mn actually surprised she didn't break it THEN!) and SPRUNG up out of the bed, looking me DEAD IN THE EYE. She looked like she was gonna wail on me. That was the funniest thing I have ever seen that early in the morning, I think. :)

ROFL now that is awesome :)

I bought a nice big green display GE dual alarm clock with weather radio at walmart for like $20. My only complaint is that I have to face it away from my bed at night, I can make like friggin shadow puppets on the wall with all the light it puts off, even with the display set to low. I'm seriously thinking about trying to tint the front of it with film. :)

Hehe. I'm used to LEDs lighting my room at night... I've never counted them...so let me now. OK, I think it's 17 assorted LEDs on ONE SIDE of my room. They can make a pretty bright combined light. I'm used to it though. My old roommate had black electrical tape over EVERY LED in his room. He also had a huge, thick blanket stapled over his window in addition to the curtains. Geez.

To say my wife &quot;isn't a morning person&quot; is like saying The Pope is a fairly devout Catholic sometimes. It's like saying Rosie O'Donnell can be a bit unattractive and unfunny at times. NO, she is not a morning person. Good God. She actually has a rule that I can't mess with her AT ALL IN ANY WAY until noon on the weekends. I just stay away. Of course, you know it backfires on her. At noon every Saturday, I get all up in her face. IT'S NOOOOON! It's NOOOOOON!!! WOOWOOWOOWOOOOO!! :) Hehe. Well, maybe not EVERY Saturday, but sometimes, when I'm feeling evil. :)

LOL!
There's nothing worse than NOT being a morning person and having a hyperactive baby who IS.
Which beats the heck outta me because my hubby's not a morning person either. Hmm...must be the mailman's fault...:Q
So at the crack of dawn we hear through the monitor:&quot; MAMIdadiMAMIdadiMAMIdadidadiMAMI-cuacuacuacuacua-aaaaaLOOOOOOaaaaaLOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!&quot;
Who needs an alarm clock when you have that?:p
