I have one alarm clock :( Are we counting microwaves and ovens? If so, 3 - but the latter two have been wrong since the last power outage...I live by my watch and phone.
Oh yeah, I totally counted my stove/oven. I didn't count my microwave because a smart woman named Hailey taught me about saving electricity and it's on a power strip and powered on when I use it. I didn't count my cell phone or watches though perhaps I should have because my watches may be bigger than the clock on the stove.
Ummmm let's see... bedside clock, blackberry, microwave... I guess three. But does cable count cuz when you turn on the tv guide thingy it shows you the time.
FACT- items like a microwave, coffee maker, etc that have clocks on them (or really anything that has a light ie printers, computers, etc)emit almost as much energy in the off position as they do in the on position. By unplugging those items or as Leslie and i did, plugging them into power strips that you turn off, you can save up to 10% on your electricity bill. If you start unplugging your chargers, cell phone, ipod, etc it could bring as much as 15% savings! Kill vampire power by using power strips and unplugging chargers.
OK clocks- 2 alarm clocks, 1 ipod dock, cable box, giant clock in the living room, and the inactive microwave and coffee maker clocks... brings me to 7 in the home. Im not including my watch or iphone because they are not home decor specific.
And Leslie, if you count your watches you would have 7 million.
Four, not counting phones, watches, ipods, or computers. But they are never in sync and rarely right because I'm trying to be crazy energy efficient, which includes keeping the breaker for the stove off unless needed (since I cannot get to the plug and I rarely cook) and flipping the one for the hot water heater before I leave the house -- helps that the breaker box is in the kitchen.

I have three but I think I need a fourth. I got rid of my cable box so now there isn't a clock in the living room. I want a super giant clock.
We have seven, if you include cell phones.
Computer, cable box, alarm clock, one in the bathroom, and clearly the most important one - the one on the stove.
6 if you count my blackberry.
