Obsolete

Okay, seems I do not have much to blog about at the moment....but here I am anyway!

This post is about a prized possession. Yep, I am talking about my travel alarm clock that must be at least twenty years old. Years ago when my youngest daughter was graduating from high school I was so tickled with myself that I had found the perfect party favor for her graduation party. I was going to gift each kid that was going out into the great wide world a travel alarm clock.That is until she told me that no one used these anymore ... instead they set their phones to wake them up.

I argued the cuteness of this little gadget and how folded up... it took up no room. Didn't work. I returned them for a refund

Well I still use mine, especially since when I leave my cell phone on the bedside table I seem to get some random text at 2am shaking me from a sound sleep. My little friend here just sits there quietly and can always be trusted to wake me up at the assigned time (provided the batteries are working),

and like a phone, you can hold down the gray bar on the top and it lights up and so you can see the time. I even use it as sort of flashlight light ...lighting the way to the bathroom. I also like that it doesn't stay lit (unless you are holding down the bar). The first thing I do in a hotel room is put a towel over the clock in the room. ...since I like to sleep in complete darkness. So there you have it, one of my prized possessions that I never leave home without.

Do you have something that always travels with you?

* oh...and I promise to get out there soon and take some blog pictures :)
