It's all over the news now, but our area of the country had an earthquake last night and it was my first! It was weird because at about 5:30 this morning P & I woke up to a rumbling/shaking feeling and we thought it was a fierce wind or the crazy, fiesty squirrels who race around on the roof (yeahh, they would have been some Hardcore squirrels!). But then we turned on the news and found out it was an earthquake, it was a strange way to start the day!
Besides that it is a gooorrgeeeouuusss day and Ralph and I had a great jog. I love having the windows open and fresh air rolling through. We are having a yard sale this weekend (our first!) because there are some things around here that we just don't love enough to move. Especially since our last move was so recent and we remember cursing ourselves for all the "crap" we hauled, we decided to lighten the load. And, to be quite honest, we have some lovely wedding gifts that were not on our registry, aren't our style and haven't even been opened. I feel bad, but at the same time...why keep it if it's just going to stay in the back of a closet??
My friends are excited to have us moving back, especially for the summer but some of our family? Are very unhappy with our decision, and they've let us know. They think we are foolish for uprooting, leaving my husband's job for a less certain future (although, I've gotten a full-time stable job) etc etc. I guess it's always hard for parents/relatives to realize we are adults and we will make our own decisions. It doesn't make life any easier though, knowing that folks you love don't approve of your decision - it kind of sucks, really. Personally, though, I'd rather move to a place that we def. want to settle down before we have kids and mortgage (aka right now), doesn't seem that crazy to me...but apparently to some it is! Oh well, we are happy and excited to be doing it, so that's all that matters.
And for the weekend, I think I've been tagged, if not - here's some random info!
6 random/weird/uninteresting things about me:
1. A GIGANTIC pet peeve of mine is to not be able to find something (why I'm not so great at moving, I like to know exactly where everything is at all times)...For ex, I may or may not have lost my digital camera and have turned the house upside down looking for it!! Praying to St. Anthony as we speak.
2. This one is really nerdy. I'm very picky/pay attention to font. I like to have my documents in certain fonts and love certain ones as well. I have particular ones for my to-do lists, my papers etc. And it drives me crazy we can't have different fonts on blogger!
3. I still pick my crusts off sandwiches, I like for the bread and sandwich matter balance to be even. I also eat my pizza crust as I eat the pizza. Weird.
4. I think I might be the last person in America, but I've finally gotten hooked on American Idol. Actually, I like watching it on DVR b/c then you can fast forward all of the banter and get to the good stuff.
5. I am a cereal addict. I can and will eat it for all 3 meals. I definitely did it in college! Currently, I love Honey Bunches of Oats....yum!
6. This isn't really weird but I'm running out of steam - my favorite cocktail lately is vodka over ice, soda/sparkling water, fresh squeezed lemon or lime and splenda. Refreshing!!
Have a great weekend!

We had an earthquake here a few years back and we finally realized that our house has been a little "off" since then, like baseboards pulled away from the wall when they weren't before, and we also noticed new cracks in our driveway.
Took us awhile to figure out why. We are on that fault, but I didn't feel it this morning! (I didn't feel the last one, or one that happened when I was in San Francisco either, so no clue if somebody else did!)
I totally hear ya on the font thing - garamond is my "signature font" if there is such a thing. :) And I'm glad that I'm not the only cereal addict - I love it!
