I AM my father's daughter. Reason being, is this: If anything I own isn't COMPLETELY busted or of no use at all.... I will hang onto it as if it's the last thing on earth and replacing that one item is the last thing on my list. Because not only am I a pack rat, I'm also a client.
I will save things until they are useless.
For the past year, I've had something on my nightstand, slowly but surely, fading on me. It's not even a year old and it's been failing more and more. Started out with one light burning out maybe 2 months after opening the box. Then another light. Then another light. And finally another light. I could only see part of the first number and a portion of the last number if it was lit in the right spot and I never knew if I REALLY had it on 'music' or completely off.
Yes folks, I'm talking about my alarm clock. $20 to replace it is all it would take. But no. I kept using the clock for I had mastered the settings and was SURE that I could make this thing last until the end of time.
But then Bean entered the picture.
But then Bean entered the picture.
She was over at my house one evening and when the moment came that I entered my room (after she had already been in it - the little sneak), I noticed this pretty box containing a brand new alarm clock!
I wondered to myself, "I wonder how long THAT'LL sit there?"
This was about a month ago. And guess what folks - I FINALLY opened the clock and set it up and look how pretty it is! We have completely lit numbers now! I can tell if it's 8 and not 9! I can tell if I have the 'music' set or if I'm going to trick myself into sleeping in because I can't tell what I've set! the zero - the zero is COMPLETE! And I must say, the green lighting is a nice change.
So I thank you Beanie, for helping your pitiful pal get a new alarm clock....

ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so proud of you!
I knew you could do it.
I hope it doesn't take you too long to get used to the boring green after that beautiful blue. But - I suppose knowing the real time does have to have some disadvantage ;)
Glad you won't have to play guessing games with yourself in the morning anymore :)
hahaha yay lyss! so glad you succumbed to good will. :)
Ok, so thank you very much Bean for the alarm clock. Funny thing, the alarm went off this morning. I went to hit snooze on the wonderful new clock. The buzzer kept going off. I hit it again, didn't stop. I was like...what the heck.
In a daze, I though it might be the smoke alarm, but then I realized...it was coming from the old clock that Wifey had put in the box and didn't take out the batteries. I was about ready to Chuck Norris Karate chop that dang thing.
Fun times!
Jeff,
please do
with a hammer
the old clock isn't worth hurting a hand over
and do it outside
and then throw it away.
then it will be gone.
forever.
Your friend,
VB
