Tuesday - The New Clock

[ninanevermore]

I woke up this morning thinking, "Damn, is the weekend over all ready?" forgetting that it had already been over for a day and a half.

My new alarm clock sounds like seagulls, and when I hit the snooze it's like shutting the window to my dream created beach house to make them shut up and go away for 9 minutes. My other options are a crowing rooster or generic songbirds or the standard annoying buzzer. It's summer, so I let electronic seagulls rouse me.

My husband got me a new alarm clock for my 36th birthday. He was very disappointed because it took me a week to plug it in and set it and try out the rooster and the songbirds and the seagulls. He was excited about the alarm clock. I thought it was quaint, but not exciting.

Maybe this is a sign of my general shallowness and greed. To my mind, a 7' tall hand-carved hard wood grandfather clock with chimes would be exciting, but an electric alarm clock that sounds like seagulls is not so much.

What the hell is wrong with me???

Deep down beneath that Suburbanite Big City Girl lie a few Old Fashioned, Country Girl genes. You like things with a history, with character, because that's part of where you came from. Nothing "wrong" with that.

I also have a life long distain for alarm clocks.

Beside, my youth is gone and he gets me a freaking CLOCK as a reminder?!

Unintentional cruelty on his part.
