Traveling Toils

Well, I recently got back from a road trip. It's funny, when you drive a long ways to visit relatives, after the initial hugs and/or kisses and being welcomed inside, so often the next thing to be said is "Would you like to have a seat?" ..... Uh huh. Yeah. Cause it just feels soooo good to sit down after sitting down for the past two hours, right? Although I find the whole scenario of arriving at somebody's house after a road trip a little odd, just because it's hard to know exactly what to do. My first thought after getting out of the car is "Ahhh, it feels so good to stand up again!" Then moments later, I go inside and the first thing I do is sit down. For like two minutes. Then stand up again, upon realizing the fact of "Oh, I was just sitting for the past two hours. Why the heck am I sitting AGAIN, when I have the option to stand?" So I stand. Then think, "Well, this seems a little weird. Everybody else is sitting." And go back and forth in my head wondering if I would rather sit or stand... until the thought pops into my head that it certainly would feel nice to just walk. I guess that's where the dog has it sort of nice- everybody thinks it's adorable when she runs like crazy all over the room after being let out of her travel crate. Alas, I have the feeling people wouldn't quite think the same of me if I were to try that approach of stretching my legs after a long car ride. Especially if while doing so I threw in the other habit of my pug-dog... Now I don't know about yours, but I'm very certain that my friends and relatives wouldn't just pat me on the head and say how cute I am if I ran up snorting and hyperventilating and sneezed on their shoes. What do you think?

Lol I guess I'm just a confusing person... although, if you think I am, you should meet some of my friends!
