**********************************************************************************************

Last night I could not fall asleep. I tossed and turned in bed for sometime until I decided the floor looked like it might provide solice. So I grabbed my pillows, pulled out on extra blanket and headed to the carpet. About 4am:

KJ: "Cara, Cara, Cara, Cara, Cara?", "Cara, Caaaaarrrrraaaa......."

Cara: Rolling over from her slumber..."w.w.w.what babe?

KJ: "Are you ok?"

Cara: "I'm fine, I was sleeping, what's wrong?"

KJ: "I think you feel out of be..."

Cara: "WHAT?" noticing the apartment felt like it was on top a vibrating bed.

KJ: "I thought you fell out of bed." thinking "earthquake?"

Cara: "Earth what?"

KJ: "oh, well, go back to bed."

Scene

The Aftershock: So apparently, KJ thinks my falling out of bed creates the same situation as an earthquake?

Grr... I'll be at the gym for the next 6 months... trying to prevent earthquakes.
