Munchie!

Yay!  First day of the 4-day weekend called "fall break" in Indiana!  When my alarm rang this morning, I had to remind myself that I didn't really have to get up!

I have a zillion things to do at home, but decided that I would spend the four days in Muncie with my family.  I mean, it is almost Halloween, and my grandchildren need costumes so they can come to Plainfield to trick-or-treat!  You get the picture...

Sometime after noon, I was ready to head out.  Had to go to two banks and get gas.  Frodo the Wonder Dog was with me.  Frodo HATES riding in the car.  She shivers and thinks she belongs under the driver's feet.  Wrongo!  First bank, I went in and came out--had to remove Frodo from the front seat to the back.  Second bank, I went in and came out--had to remove Frodo from the front seat to the back.  Gas station, I tanked up and came out--had to remove Frodo from the front seat to the back.  She has, fortunately, figured out that she will NOT ride under my feet while I'm driving...but I have to remind her, sometimes.  She makes the trip, begrudgingly, on the floor of the back seat.  (No Gary Larson dog with ears flapping in the wind, here!)  Interesting thing, however, is that she gets totally animated, going and coming, about 5 blocks from either home.  She likes being here in Muncie.  The kids have a nice back yard, with critter smells, but she is still not housebroken.  Has piddled on the kids' new carpet twice today, already.  She is now asleep, sideways, on my sleepng bag on the living room futon!  Make room, little dog.  I'm ready to hit the sack!
