Tuesday Was Shakey

Wanna know how my Tuesday went? Something like this.

Earthquake earthquake earthquake. Earthquake? Earthquake earthquake earthquake earthquake, earthquake earthquake earthquake earthquake. Earthquake earthquake. Earthquake earthquake earthquake earthquake. Earthquake earthquake earthquake! Earthquake earthquake earthquake earthquake earthquake earthquake, earthquake earthquake earthquake. Earthquake earthquake.

Yeah, there was an earthquake. Apparently there's some action going on with our tectonic plates. Katie, Nancy & I were in Panera and I had just finished my chipotle chicken panini when the whole place starting wiggling. Katie tried to blame me for shaking the bench. Then the three of us jumped up and ran outta there. Halfway across the parking lot, seeing all the buildings evacuated it became more clear what had happened. I tried to call Laura but all circuits were busy. Same with Dani who was watching Yuula.

Got back to the school to see the whole place evacuated and finally heard from Laura. She had tried to evacuate the store but apparently a sale on Indian vases was too strong to remove even the most frugal housewife from such a bargain. And Dani had felt a little shimmy in the floorboards but not enough to wake little sleeping baby.

So there was an earthquake. Stop making such a big deal people. California thinks we're wussies.
