Look I won’t lie. This weekend has been just a little bit random and the strange turn of events got me wondering, have these things ever happened to you?
For starters, on Saturday we went to a tile shop (boring) and once that job was done we decided to duck into a coffee shop for a much needed caffeine hit. I couldn’t believe my luck when the table number was the same number as my age! I mean really, how often does that even happen?!
FYI, If coffee’s your thing there’s a FREE printable waiting for you to download right here. This is what it looks like:
Later that day, I was sitting on the couch watching Teen Mom OG reading some sort of intellectually stimulating article about something when the couch shook fairly violently for a solid 15-20 seconds.
I was the only one home at the time and I could’ve sworn it felt like an earthquake (growing up in Christchurch, NZ gives you a bit of earthquake experience) but I brushed that thought off as ridiculous because I live in Brisbane and everybody knows earthquakes don’t happen in Brisbane!
But then this popped up on my Facebook feed and I couldn’t believe what I was reading:
And just look at the damage that 5.5 sucker did to my couch!
But don’t worry because we’re tough in Queensland and we will rebuild. Or re-straighten the cushions, whichever comes first.
By the way, should you ever be silly enough to follow my lead and purchase a pale linen couch AND smear chocolate all over it within the first few weeks of sitting on it, please make your way to this post, which will probably make you want to both laugh and cry while reading it!
And finally, on Sunday, I popped out the back to see what was going on down the side of the house and I could’ve sworn I’d made my way onto the set of some sort of weird Don Burke/Channing Tatum movie
But no, it was Scott, or Guns as the people of Instagram like to call him, basking in the Winter sun while doing a spot of gardening!
Have these things ever happened to you? Did you feel the earthquake? Are you 42 going on 21? Does your husband fancy himself as a shirtless gardener? Tell me everything!
