I AM the crazy one.

Okay, I am quirky. I know that. I don't wear a watch. I like the blinds in my office at a certain angle and get very disturbed when one is off kilter.

Anyway, my alarm clock at home is no exception. It runs a little fast, so I got used to it being 10 minutes ahead (helps keep me on the ball). Then daylight savings time began and I didn't switch it. Two days in, I realized I liked it. When I wake up at night, if it says "5:15" - I knew to roll that back to 4:15 - in my mind, a bonus hour!

As I was laying in bed this morning deciding I had to use the bathroom regardless of how chilly it was (we have an electric blanket!), I looked over at the time and it said "5:30". Ahhh - another hour. Then John said his clock didn't go off and we had to get up. "What," I said... I proceeded to remind him that no, it was only 4:30.

That's when he revealed he fixed the clock for me yesterday. On one hand, a very kind thing to help me out. At the same time, daylight savings time hit me again this morning... Oh well.

isn't it horrible to get up so early?! and then the bathroom floor is freezing... manuel bought a space heater with a timer, so he set it to go off at 0525 to motivate me to leave the warmth of the blankets. maybe, i shuld invent the timer heated toilet seat :) ha ha

I did the same thing in the guest bedroom, left the clock on the wrong time, and when I would get up and nurse Gwen it would give me something to think about while I was nursing her. Somehow it was comforting that it wasn't the time it said. Does this mean I am crazy also?

You like your blinds a a certain angle! You used to make fun of the fact that I likes my magnets straight on my file cabinet!!! Well now, not only do I not have a file cabinet but my magnets are down right chaotic on my fridge. You would be proud!
