I have and always will be a diehard Packers fan! LOL@ the Vikings fan because my closest friend is also a fan of theirs and it has always been a source of teasing between us! She has come up with some very creative names for the Pack which I cannot repeat here. lol, and the Vikings became the ViQueens through the years. :) All in fun, don't bash me.
I have never seen a broadway play but hope to someday.

Dogs are pack animals. They want to be with their pack, sm
Which in this case is you and the rest of your family. I would suggest putting her crate in an area of the house where you guys are, *especially* at night, so she doesn't feel isolated. Can you put her crate in your bedroom at night, right by your bed?
I also agree with letting her gradually have more and more freedom out of the crate as she matures and is trustworthy not to chew things and is completely housebroken.
My last and probably most important piece of advice is to make sure she's getting plenty of exercise, especially before she goes into the crate. I have 4 indoor dogs, and I've found that exercise is a cure for many, many things. (There's a saying in dogs: "A tired dog is a good dog." So true!) A lot of dogs just simply don't get enough exercise, physical and mental, to tire them out. All that excess energy and frustration has to come out somehow. Maybe that's what's happening with her? Take her for walks, through a ball, etc. I personally use a device called a Springer that attaches to a bicycle and lets me safely take each of my dogs for a nice long run (without wearing me out!) You can find it here: http://www.springerusa.com/ (I do *not* use the safety release that comes with it, and I use a better harness than the one that comes with it, but I have big, strong dogs.)
You can also get a dog backpack for the dog to wear with something in the backpack to add a litte weight and help tire her out more than just walking will.
Some dogs are also just very sensitive to changes in the household. Maybe she's picking up on the hustle and bustle of this time of year and is stressed by it. (If so, exercise with be a release for that.)
Please keep us posted and feel free to share more info. and I may have more ideas. ;o)
Pack leader
Some dogs are very strong personalities and need to have a strong-minded person as an owner that has no doubt as to who is leader of the pack (and it should not be the dogs). If the dogs are dictating who is allowed in and out and who the territory belongs to, they are in charge and as you pointed out, it isn't the breed so much as the owner.
GO PACK! GO BRETT!
I've been to Lambeau only once but really loved it! Greenbay is about 3 hours from where I used to live so we didn't treck up there much. Especially in the snow!
I would buy a pack, but not 2 packs

Also pack anything you buy in your carry-on - sm
one of my group made the mistake of packing her stuff in her luggage, every single thing was stolen that she bought there. I took mine in my carry-on bag, as did everyone else but her. Just be smart and aware.
I'll help you pack...

FedEx or UPS will be fine if you pack it

They think like pack animals, not humans. They are

You got any extras you wanna pack up...
and send to Maine, you feel free! 
This is the first year I haven't had a garden and I'm totally bumming now that everyone's harvest is in. My downfall are the little sweet cherry tomatoes that are all warm from basking in the sun all day and wicked sweet...I ate so many one year I swear I was pooping crushed tomatoes! Totally gross but it was what it was. Man, they really were just like candy!
Congratulations on your harvest!
I always put them in the lunch boxes with a cold pack. NM

Pack them a decent lunch. That is garbage.

So, June Cleaver... what do you pack for lunch?
Finger sandwiches? Please. It is one meal of the day and kids would eat far worse if given lunch money. Now why don't you run along and iron your aprons or something :)
I just bought a starter pack today
I'm going to give it a whirl. I figure I have about 40 pounds to lose to get back to where I was for most of the years between having my son at age 25 in 1987, and my daughter at age 38 in 2000. After gaining the pregnancy weight in 2000, I really barely lost any of it and now nearly 7 years later am about 10 pounds up from that. So, I'm going for about 40 pounds but 30 would probably make me happy. I figure since I work at home, if I end up with the "alli oops" at least I'm right by the bathroom.
Your post says exactly what mine did. Animals are pack
fa
Guys tend to pack light, and
probably would be embarrassed by something you were calling a hope chest. Nothing wrong with having a bin with practical essentials for them to take with them, but if it goes beyond what they can see they'll need immediately when they venture out on their own, they might leave it behind. And if it is girly or can't take a beating or isn't flexible about going from DW to MW to oven, it's not going to get used IMO.
Midlothian, Virginia - would pack and move back now
