A day of firsts!

I just got back from my very first yoga class that my aunt took me to. I'm pretty sure I'm going to be sore as hell in a little while, but overall it was cool. The class was a mix of easy and advanced techniques- there's a beginners' class on Mondays I'm tempted to take up. It'd be nice to get some of my old flexibility back, and just maybe get in better shape as well.

And early this morning, I felt my very first mothereffing earthquake! This weird rumbling woke me up around 5am, and at the time I was too sleepy to think much about it. I think "earthquake.. stand in a door frame..?" might've crossed my mind, along with "maybe a low-flying airplane" and "just a dream." Then my aunt commented on it as we were leaving for the class. So, that happened. You know, between this and the damn Icelandic volcano...

I've been tempted to take up yoga. But I just think I need to get back in shape in general before I start going to any type of class. *really needs to stop being lazy*

I didn't even know that Maryland got earthquakes! *laughs* I have no idea what you're supposed to do in an earthquake. Is it stand in a doorframe?

*laughs* My mother (who stayed in Maryland) felt it and called us this morning about it. Apparently she was cool with it (she lived in Mexico City for like 10 years), but my dog freaked out.

I definitely didn't notice any earthquake - I don't think we got much of anything at all here, farther north. I woke up suddenly around 5am one night this week, but I've been sleeping poorly in general so I can't even separate which night it was, haha.

I heard about the DC quake and thought of you! I'm glad it was minor.

Good luck with yoga! I'm tempted to try a real class, but still feeling intimidated. You're really cool for doing that.

If you enjoyed it, you should take the class. :)

I hope there was no damage done?
