My Dad is in Laguna Woods and he said he thought his house was going to come down on him. He's pretty shaken up still....with his health I'll be checking on him a few more times today.

An earthquake AND Bennigan's is filing for bankruptcy. What a world, what a world...

I am going to the Park today.....should be an interesting day at work!

Ken just came home for a few minutes. Target is evac'd until they clean up - lots of stuff is apparently on the floor. So, he'll be spending the next hour or so re-stacking the tampon boxes and vitamin bottles.

He says that the store shook hard too, so Garden Grove must be in a primo location for this one. Ugh.

From what we have found so far, we've lost the first Christmas present I gave to Ken - a ceramic eagle. And, some vintage collectibles took a spill inside one of the living room cabinets. It appears my 1960's Donald lost a foot.

Oy. I've been needing to dust anyway, so I suppose today's a good day. I hope nothing else is broken.

It's weird - the cats were making a mad scramble across the floor just prior to the initial shaking. I thought they were just chasing each other like they usually do. They made a mad dash for under the bed. Now, I'll probably freak whenever I hear claws scrambling.

Some "fun" things though - when I was standing in my office doorway, I was amused to see our Tiki dining room "come to life" - all the birds were swinging. Oh, and other amusing things - our cuckoo clock started itself up (we usually keep it off), and the Roomba just kept vacuuming the whole time, without a care in the world. If the roof had come down, at least the floor would have been clean!

I was in my cube, no one else in the office. A coworker from another division walks in to talk to me.

"We're getting lunch together today, right?"

"Yup, at noon."

"I thought so."

*rumble rumble*

"What should we do?"

*RUMBLE* *both scramble under desks*

"Maybe we should skip lunch today?"

"Yeah, good idea."



Both of us raced home to make sure our respective pets and homes were ok. Bunnies are fine, thank goodness.

Before I left I checked the library and it looked like no one was really freaking out. A lot of pale faces with survival smiles and children clutching parents. Not a single book fell in our sorting room.

Yes! That means I can still laud my 5.6 & 5.7 earthquake over you 5.4 sissy's.

I wonder how many people in L.A. broke things on purpose and are blaming the earthquake for it.

"I'm sorry, Honey. I don't know how all of your Precious Moments dolls broke... Must have been the earthquake!"
