I Felt the Earth Move

I'm back. I did not forget I had a blog that I swore diligently that I would update once a week. I did, however, learn that even once a week can be crazy for me. I'll try better from now on.

We had an earthquake here yesterday. Yes, an earthquake. In Pennsylvania. And NY. And apparently the whole Eastern Seaboard. I felt my desk shake and realized I was moving too. I was beginning to wonder if I had finally taken one too many Benadryl during allergy season and it finally was affecting my brain. However, upon quickly speaking with my co-worker, I deduced I was not crazy as she was moving too.  Further reports upon coming back inside (I don't know why, but standing outside sounded like a much more logical solution than remaining in a building while it was shaking like it was on the spin cycle in a washing machine), from Twitter and Facebook indeed confirmed it- everyone else felt the same thing too. And it was all anyone could talk about- FOR THE REST OF THE DAY.

You have to understand, in all my life, I have NEVER experience an earthquake. So while all we got was a little shaken around, it was a big deal! I will say this. I have no desire to ever experience the real thing. Feeling like a ride there is no getting off of is NOT my thing. I like stable ground, thank you very much.  

I promise- from now on, much more exciting (and frequent) posts.
