Was that an Earthquake?

As I was sitting here reading other people's blogs I thought I felt an earthquake. I was sitting very still with my left elbow on the desk with my chin in my hand and my right hand on the mouse. All of a sudden the desk, moniter and desk lamp started to sway a little. Plus I could feel the floor jiggle through my chair. I got up and asked my husband did you feel that? He said he thought he felt something, but wasn't sure since the hanging fruit basket was not swinging. He said to wait a few minutes before checking the earthquake website. If there was an earthquake it will be posted on there. I am going to check now and then come back.

Ok, I am back. I checked the earthquake site and I was not imagining things. We really did feel the earthquake. It was a 4.0 centered in the East Bay of the San Fransico Bay area. About an hour drive or so from where we are. There was a place to report in if you felt the quake and how strong and your reaction and so on on the quake. It was cool to do that. A little unexpected excitement in my otherwise quiet evening. Crazy. But that is earthquakes for you. Never know when the are going to hit. In my life time I can only remember a couple handfuls of earthquakes, in other words less than 10.

Tomorrow I may do a Pink Saturday thing. I did not sign up on time to participate in the Pink Saturday post on a craft blog. Maybe next week. But I did take a picture of pink things that I will put up tomorrow. Maybe. I have to decide which picture I like best. I rearranged my items a few times for the pictures trying to get the best effect of the pink. Happy Friday even though it is close to being over.
