C'mon, sing with me, "I feel the earth move..."

...under my bed!! The earthquake that hit the Midwest shook me awake this morning! My bed was rattling back and forth, and the clothes in the closet were swaying on the hangers. It was approximately 4:40 AM! I was upstairs sleeping, and my husband was downstairs, in the kitchen. I quickly raced out of the bedroom and down the stairs, to ask my husband if he was doing some kind of work on the house. After hearing his questioning "No-oo?", I explained what I had just experienced. He politely told me that I probably was having a dream, and that sometimes, when you awake from a dream, it can seem as if it was real!! He also stated that he did not feel a thing! Well, his explanation did not ease my mind. I told him that my immediate thought was, either he was doing some work on the house, or we had an earthquake. He reassured me that neither had happened, and then left for work. At about 6:00 AM, my phone rings...it's my dear husband, calling to let me know that he had just heard a radio report of a 5.4 magnitude earthquake in Illinois, and it could be felt in numerous states! He wanted me to know this so that I didn't think I was going crazy or something! Someone is going to have Humble Pie for dinner tonight! LOL!!

Noodles

The mailman graciously left me a squishy full of noodles today! What a treat! Now I just have to decide what to do with them. The "noodles" (2.5" x WOF strips of cotton fabric) are from an online swap at Backporch Friends.

The sun is shining today, so a walk is in order. Will be walking with my handy dandy pedometer, and thinking over what to do with the noodles!
