earthquake...

this morning started out like any other normal, weekday morning. lane's alarm goes off. he hits snooze. it goes off again. he gets up. he turns the shower on. he brings ledger to me. i nurse him. i lay ledge back down. i go make coffee. lane gets ready. i watch the news. the couch shakes. oh, wait, my mistake, the couch shaking is not normal! today, i experienced my first earthquake!!!

i don't know why that excites me because earthquakes aren't supposed to be good, right? i do love me some weather, though. while sitting there, i felt a slight vibrating/shaking feeling that lasted for 3-5 seconds. i hollered to lane in the kitchen, "did you feel that shaking?". to which he replied, "no." i said, "i think that was an earthquake." he laughed it off and left for work. the end.

10 minutes later, i looked at my phone and saw i had a missed call from my sister. i called her back and asked her why she was calling so early in a joking voice. she freaked out and said she just felt an earthquake. it was so rough she had to hold on to prevent falling off the toilet. at that time, lane was beeping in so i clicked over to tell him. he said that's why he was calling. his brother in edmond had called and told him. i resounded with a big, "i told you so!".

so for the following 20-30 minutes, i was texting, tweeting and watching the news. facebook blew up with what everyone felt and where they were when it had occurred. it was exciting. it changed up everyones monotonous mornings. i'll always remember the great oklahoma quake of 2010. ok, probably not, but it was fun while it lasted!
