Well - it's actually Christmas morning already but I haven't gone to sleep yet. It wouldn't be Christmas Eve if I wasn't up late putting finishing touches on gifts and getting everything wrapped! Everyone is all snuggled in their rooms and all is quiet. Chrissy is sound asleep in her crate - I am watching A Christmas Story for the second time already! I love the 24 Hour Marathon of this movie. I remember seeing this in the theaters back in 1983 when it first came out.
We did stuff today but I am actually very tired so I will write about it all tomorrow.
Merry Christmas Everyone!

Chrissy
Chrissy The Blonde Puppy
(Sung to the tune of Rudolph)
Chrissy the blonde puppy
Was a very hyper one
And if you ever saw her
You might even say she’s fun
All of the other puppies
Ran when she wanted to play
They growled and barked at poor Chrissy
Telling her to go away
Then one day they went outside
To run and jump around
Chrissy with your legs so tall
Go make friends and patrol the wall
Then the puppies loved her
As they barked and played with toys
Chrissy the blonde puppy
Now joins in and makes lots of noise

Football Sunday
Football Sunday - those two words bring to mind relaxation - watching a couple games - maybe taking a nap - quietly rooting for your home team! Not if you're having Football Sunday at the Musielak House! Anybody have a pair of Bose Noise Cancelling Headphones I can borrow before next Sunday!
No - I am not over reacting. This is actually Football Ticket Sunday - every game that is going on is on TV and there is lots of switching from game to game to see what is going on - following the games, fantasy, and how they're doing in the Pick 'em pool. When they see a play scroll across the bottom of the TV screen or a notification pop up on their computer then it's switch to that game to watch the play.
T is in the Championship Game of Fantasy Football today - his players weren't doing well or they weren't getting any plays at the beginning so there was a lot of swearing and loud "I've Lost" "Dammit" - when we would tell him there was still enough time he grumpily said "No there isn't - I've lost" Guess what - yup - his QB Vick came back in the 4th Qtr to score 64 points! He is leading right now and watching Jim's final player yelling at the TV for the team to either run the ball or not to throw it to Roddy White!
Now - I had heard tales of K being louder than C and as bad as her Dad T but I didn't believe them - there is no way anyone could be like that - boy was I wrong!! I have never heard anyone yell at the TV so loud and so much! She was a bit vocal during the early games but once the Seahawks Game came on a different K - the Seahawks Fanatic - came out! There were constant comments to the TV - yelling at the Seahawks - calling players Dumb Asses - Telling the defense they are worthless - now mind you I agree with most of what she is saying!
So if you are ever planning on spending Football Sunday with the Musielak Family be aware of what you're getting yourself in to and come prepared!

Grimaldi's
No . . . . . this isn't the name of some new WOW Character or a wizard from Harry Potter - this is the name of the pizza place we had dinner at tonight! Really Good pizza we had for dinner! This place is very popular on a Saturday night - we had an hour and fifteen minute wait to get a table - by the time we were being seated they were telling new people coming in that it was a two and a half hour wait!!
While we were waiting we decided to walk around - this is at an outdoor mall - Watters Creek - so there were shops we could go in to - well - except for the one we really wanted to go in to - Chloe's Treasures - this is a unique pet boutique that was supposed to be open until 9 but the doors were locked up tight at 6. Very sad - and they could have made a lot of sales because there were 3 puppy owners ready to get cute things!
For dinner we had Caesar Salad - which is served family style - and was delicious! We demolished it! Then C, T, and I shared a Pepperoni and Kalamata Olive pizza - yummy! No pineapple on the menu here. I am completely stuffed.
Tomorrow is Football Sunday and I might do some baking - need to go to the grocery store and pick up a few items.

Texas Weekend
Second full day in Texas! Yesterday was errands - lunch - movie. We went to Sam's Club - Walmart - Albertson's. Then we met K at Five Guys for lunch. This is a really good hamburger place. I tried In-N-Out Burger for the first time in October and it was OK - this place was really really good - I would go here over In-N-Out any day. After lunch it was off to the movies. C and I went and saw Black Swan . . . different kind of movie . . . . Natalie Portman did a fantastic job she definitely deserves to be nominated for an Oscar - not so sure whether the movie does or not - it was kinda weird - a bit artsy - which is probably why it will get nominated.
Chrissy is not making many friends! Her and Lexi got in to it this morning - Lexi had had just about enough of her and turned on her with a snarl-snap-and a growl! She's not getting the hint though - she went right back and tried to play with her! Bailey even got upset with her this morning too. T compared her to Rudolph! No one will let her play any of the puppy games! Kara likes her - but they start chasing each other around the living room and get in trouble so they are relegated outside. Chrissy is not a big fan of the outside - which surprises me because back home she is always trying to get outside and here she has a whole backyard to run around in.
Right now we are watching The Ironman on TV that was done back in October and K is in the kitchen making Cake Balls - something new that I am going to have to try when I get home!

Greetings from Texas!
I made it down here safe and sound. I always thought that if you traveled on an off day things would move quicker at the airport - Nope - took me 45 minutes just to check in with my bag. I wasn't able to do the self check-in because of Chrissy so I had to get in the Full Service Line - there weren't very many people but then again - there was only one agent working the counter! Also - this same agent was checking in the First Class Passengers also so every time one of them got in line they got to bypass everyone else! So unfair! I finally got everything checked in and then it was off to security - I was a little nervous because they are using the new scanner machines now and if you don't do that then you have a full body pat down - Chrissy saved the day though!! Because I was traveling with her I was able to go through the old metal detectors! I guess the new scanners require you to stand with your arms out from your body and I couldn't do that and hold Chrissy at the same time! Thank You Miss Chrissy!
Miss Chrissy traveled very well - she was quiet on the plane and she stayed sitting in the bag on the drive from the airport to C's House. She was very excited to see all of the puppies! It took a few minutes but finally Miss Kara warmed up to her and they started chasing each other around the living room - I am sure the other dogs will warm up to her over the next few days. Miss Chrissy broke the ice by pooping on the rug! Stupid dog! Hopefully she will learn form the other pups that you need to do that outside! Right now she is back in her travel bag up on the bed next to me going to sleep. She wasn't thrilled about getting back in it but she has settled down and hopefully will sleep through the night.
OK - Funny plane passenger story! The gal sitting in the window seat in my row was a first time flier - probably in her mid 20s. She was pretty quiet the during the ride - towards the end of the flight she was looking through the Sky Mall Magazine. She pressed the Flight Attendant call button - he came to our row - she held up the magazine pointing to a picture of a necklace and said "I'd like to buy this!" The attendant said "We don't carry that stuff on the plane" and turned around quickly heading back to the galley!
We got in a few minutes late and the attendants asked over the PA System for everyone to stay in their seats and to let the people go first who needed to catch a connecting flight as a those people didn't have much time to get to their next gate. Question: Why don't people listen to this and do what is asked? It's not going to make them lose that much time and they still have to wait for their baggage. People in the front just stood in the aisles blocking the way. Thing that made me go Hmmmm . . . .really . . . .was the gentleman in the seats in front of me who stood blocking the aisle while texting on his phone was wearing a shirt with an insignia from the group Promise Keepers - Men With Integrity . . .really . . .not showing much integrity right there.
OK - time for sleep - I need to get on Texas time.

Rest
Ahhhh . . . . . . . that my dears is a sigh of relaxation! I have had a very restful weekend.
Yesterday I took care of running some Chrissy errands to get her ready for our trip to TX - vet's for a shot and to get her health certificate then to the groomers for a hair cut. I took her to Petco as usual but she had a different groomer this time. I don't think this gal had much patience - I don't think she even tried to comb out Chrissy's fur - just went straight to the clippers and shaved her short. She really scalped her - shaved her uneven - and now the poor thing is very cold. Luckily her fur does tend to grow back fast and next time I think I may try a grooming service that comes by your house in a van and does all the grooming right there.
Besides Chrissy errands I had to go get emissions testing done on my car - I thought it might take a while but I just drove up - had the test done - and was on my way. My plan was to then come home and do chores but I felt like playing instead. L had the day off from work so I gave her a call and we went bowling! We hadn't bowled together for awhile - we had fun! L won all 3 games but it was still fun. She then came home with me - I needed her help - I was stuck on a computer game and I needed her to get me past this one puzzle! She was able to do it - Yay!!! Now I can finish my game!
Today I received my calling at Sacrament Meeting - I am now a member of the Relief Society Activity Committee - perfect fit for me - I like planning activities. After church I came home and have been doing some baking and getting caught up on Fringe - by caught up I mean watching this whole season so far in one night! It's very good! If you have never watched it you really must!
Three days of work this week then it's off to Texas. :-)
