Ok…so, I am one of the thousands of people ripped from sleep last night by the earthquake. I have to admit, I originally blamed my husband. I thought he was shaking the bed. I mean, really, earthquakes and the Midwest don’t typically mix. But within a few seconds, I realized what was happening. I yelled, “its an earthquake” and ran… View Post
