 So what did I do today?  Mom and I went to Ollies to look for a new dining room rug, which we found.  We got back here, cleaned out the dining room, cleaning up the hardwood floor, but the new rug down (and it looks GREAT!).  It's a bigger rug, so I needed to get a smaller rug, a runner,  for another part of the room, so off to Wal-Mart we went.   I got a what I needed, we grabbed some take out and came back and ate it.  Then after a bit more tidying up, mom went home.  I later put my To-Be-Read piles of books back on the floor in a much more organized order.  How long they'll stay that way?  Who knows?

Oh, and of course when I was at Ollies, I bought some books.

Then I watched some football, and then did my Halloween tradition: ate supper from the Waynesburger.  This time I got a chicken Caesar salad and chili and brought it home to eat ti.  

Then I watched some more football, now I'm settled in to watch the first episode of the newest season of Doctor Who, after which, I'll watch the remainder of Dallas Cowboys/Minnesota Vikings night game. And then to bed, I guess. 

Anyway, here's some pics of the day: 

The new rug, with the reorganized piles of books.
