Friday: 5 things on my mind

[karen_w_newton]

I don't usually do a pot-luck post on Fridays, but I have many random thoughts in my head and no coherent theme so I'm going with the flow.

1) Earthquake! Montgomery County, Maryland, where I live was hit by a 3.6 magnitude earthquake this morning at a little after 5:00 am. I slept through it! Everyone is talking about what it felt like, and I

I heard about the earthquake! That never happens on this coast. What in the world?

Also, I LOOOVE the Old Spice guy. Fantastic.

Yeah, we were all very surprised when the earth moved. Especially at 5:00 in the morning.

When I lived in Atlanta, TN had one and the aftershocks were felt in Atlanta. I thought the movement of my bed and the groaning of my apartment was a dream. On my way to school I learned I had experienced my first earthquake. Odd.

Old Spice guy. Love him. He was Oprah a few months ago. His voice is AMAZING. Oh, and so is his body.

Best wishes on the self-publishing venture.

I don't even have a dream to recall!

The old spice guy is an amazing combination of talent and good looks, isn't he? Some folks in Hollywood had better watch it. He will be big.

And thanks for the good wishes.

Yeah, I found the Old Spice Guy hilarious. P&G hit one out of the park with that series of commercials. Will he get as iconic as Mr. Whipple? Probably not; commercial lifetimes aren't that long anymore. However, he's great.

(And yes, I know he's hot. I may be a married man, but I'm not an idiot.)

Okay, which one are you in the pic, or are you not saying?

I am in the middle row, 4th from the left, between my dad and one of my nieces and her dog. My husband is right behind me, and my daughter is in the back row, far left.

Aha! Another redhead!

Your husband just looks like someone I'd find roaming the flea market at the Dayton Hamvention. Not sure why, he just looks like a ham operator.

Old Spice guy...LOVE HIM!!! That body! That voice! The humor! What's not to love?

You're going to WFC?? Did I know this??

In a little less than a month, I will be on the beach in Fenwick Island, DE. Can't freaking WAIT!

[karen_w_newton]

I thought we had the "You're going to WFC?" conversation already? Wait, maybe that was some else. I'm sure we will all post about it when it's closer to that time.

Have fun at the beach!

[mtlawson]

That was me you had the conversation with, Karen.

[karen_w_newton]

oh, well, no wonder! You and bogwitch64 look so much alike. -)

All of that sounds wonderful. Let me know when your ebooks come out.

. Maybe there will be another one ;)

[karen_w_newton]

I'm sure there will be plenty. Or do you mean, a specific one, hmm?
