I forgot. I was so excited when I woke up that it was 8 AM and I could watch Meet the Press [yes....it's strange that this would excite me]. And then it was only 7.

I obviously forgot to set my clocks back when I went to bed last night.

Quick story. I knew that CocoPop had to leave by 7:30am for an all day Gymnastics Judges Course.

I popped open my eyes and saw the time...7am!! I jumped up and made loud noises and shook him like a ragdoll...GET UP! You're LATE!!

Then I saw the time on his clock sitting on his nightstand....6:00am...opps!

Guess who got a big homecooked breakfast this morning before he left for his judging course?

Now here's a topic I like. No I did not change any clocks; I rely on the ones that are changed for me like the TV and pc. That's enough for me. My internal clock is not adjustable so I am awake around 5am every single day.

Sometimes I change a few; some I just leave. The way I see it, eventually it will be the right time again!

I have one clock - on the stove - that has been flashing 12:00 since there was the big power blackout in all of Toronto a few years ago (or whenever it was). There a couple of reasons for not setting the stove clock.
1. I never look at it.
2. I am at the stove doing something, so why do I need to look at the clock.

I am not very good with time or directions. If I have a watch with me, I forget to wind it or the battery dies and I don't bother to change it.
I also get lost easily and seldom go somewhere without a map.
If there is somewhere I have to be at a certain time, I make sure to leave way early so that I am not too late.

Yes, I woke up at 5am today - just like clockwork.

LOL Shadoe, I have one of those clocks in my dining room. I just tell people that it's right six months out of the year - you just have to figure out which six months.

That flashing 12:00 is really annoying but I have stopped short of covering it with duct tape because I will not have a good explanation for the tape.

I just put a tall pot in front of it and problem solved!

I will get Eeyore to set it if she ever comes out this way to visit. Maybe I will just move to a new apt and demand that the stove clock be set before I move in.

My DVR remembered and my computers remembered (the laptop will "rememeber" next time I power it up) and the other cable box too.

But my watches and I'm sure the car clock.. still wrong. And my new camera too.. and my bedroom clock/radio/cd didn't flip..

Just reset the new camera time.. ACK.. this camera does so much I'm a bit lost.. it takes pictures bigger than life..

Anyway I'm flipped and part of my stuff is flipped too :-)

I have so many clocks ( never mind watches ) that its going to take me a few days, to get around to them all. Plus Vince usually does the tough ones that are too high for me to reach, but he's recovering from an operation and in no condition to be climbing anything for quite a while. So its confusing at my place right now with some done and some not yet.

For the first time ever, we didn't have to do it... For some reason Arizona doesn't fall back or spring forward, for that matter..it's like the twilight zone...maybe that's why they call them "Zonies"

At any rate, I feel I've been cheated out of the extra hour of sleep that everyone else got...

Most of my clocks set themselves automatically now. I made sure to get the kind that do so as I replaced each clock in the house! Otherwise I'd still be resetting clocks! Heck, even the VCR changed itself over! I just had to do my watch, the microwave, the coffee pot and a small desk clock.
