And I mean that literally. Last night at 4:30ish AM, we had an earthquake! An earthquake.

I’m sure you’ve heard by now…but I just have to share anyway because it was the craziest thing to happen to me in a long time. Seriously. We’re laying there sound a sleep when suddenly we’re wide awake…and things are rattling..and the bed is shaking…and the dresser is clattering…and we’re looking at each other like “what in the heck is going on?” Both kids woke up and came running into our room. The world shook enough to wake my entire family from the depths of sleep. It was crazy. So we decided that, yes, indeed it was an earthquake, no one was hurt, and so all four of us went back to bed (together in the same bed…because that’s what you do after the world rocks.)

We were so happy that this earthquake happened while we were safe at home and not while crossing the Mississippi River via a bridge. (Jay said that out loud. I thought it but kept it to myself since I was going to have to do that very thing about four hours later. Drove real fast over that bridge…and I’m back home now. Whew.)

Wow…really makes me want to actually get prepared for an emergency instead of just thinking about what a good idea it would be. Guess I’ll add that to my to do list.

In the category of other things that have rocked my world lately. Here’s another one. (World rocking in a completely different kind of way…but I seriously thought this was just so fun.) Hat’s off the the NAPO LA Chapter for putting together such a wonderful event for the organizing industry. It’s a cause near and dear to my heart…so I just loved this! Hope you enjoy it, too.

It’s Friday. It’s rainy. The world has stopped quaking. (And I figured out how to put a YouTube video on my blog!) I’m looking ahead to a weekend of soccer, basketball, baseball, and spring organizing. Here’s wishing you a happy weekend filled with the things you love and time spent on nothing by solid ground. 😉
