The baja quake was the longest I’ve ever experienced. A big roll then about a minute of side to side slippery movement. When it hit I was drying my hair and stopped to wait it out and then Mr. PM and I yelled to each other on different floors to check in but the movement kept going ever so slightly then it picked up again until tapering off. I felt dizzy so I sat down on the bed and looked at the bedroom doors and they were still moving so I knew the ground had not stopped. Everyone I have talked to felt this vertigo. It was very strange.

Our big ugly Lazy Boy rocking chairs (do not judge ~ it is my decorating shame and secret to a happy marriage) were rocking by themselves. Our antique pendulum clock that sits on the low boy in the living room that I never keep going because it chimes too loud was jostled enough to begin and now chimes every quarter hour. Note to self: stop it before bedtime tonight. I noticed our chandeliers were still swinging 45 minutes later until we left for Laguna Beach for dinner at Javier’s on PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).

I told my MIL who joined us that after being shaken we needed something stirred ~ margaritas on the rocks!
As you can see even a tsunami threat would not keep me from grease, salt and alcohol.

Thank you to those who emailed me to check up on how we fared. Love you! 🙂
