Hubby’s bought a new alarm clock.

It’s electric, battery operated, and it’s got all of one ringtone to choose from. I’ll give you a hint:

Remember these? If not, look at the little hammer and the little bells, and imagine this little beast jumping up and down as the hammer pounds back and forth… That’s the sound of our new alarm clock. It wakes you up. In fact, you’re likely to wake up as your head hits the ceiling… Efficient bugger, I can tell you!

Speaking of clocks – I haven’t worn a watch in years, neither has hubby. I’m usually here, which means I have a clock on the kitchen wall (Hmmm… that sounded rather pathetic. Correction: I do get out once in a while!), and hubby uses his cell to tell time.
If we were to buy wristwatches now, it would have to be some really nice ones. I know hubby would absolutely love a Rolex Submariner. That, however, is way above our budget, so we’ll just have to wait until the kids have left the nest and we’re too old and senile to operate the high-tech cell phones of days to come…
If not, we’ll always have the clock on the wall in the kitchen. If we can see it.

Stumble it!

I’ve stopped in a few times, and haven’t commented, but each time your page loads – your pictures on the header – I love them, both are such great photo’s to look at, they have a “peace” about them.

The dreaded alarm clock – I try not to use it, it’s more of a safety valve!

I so remember those old wind-up alarm clocks. They were called Big Bens or something like that weren’t they? Used one for years. I too quite wearing a watch when I retired. I just mostly don’t care what time it is. Hubby wanted to get me a Rolex, but I just didn’t see the point. They are beautiful, but very pricey. Have a great day. :)

Since I left corporate America, I’ve not worn a wrist watch either. I also use my cell phone to tell the time.
Interesting phenomena, eh?

As for hubby’s new alarm clock – well, I’d probably take a hammer to it (alarm clocks are NOT my favorite thing!)…

:)
