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.
