Where is Christ this Christmas?
Based on the title of this entry, I bet you're thinking I'm going to sermonize about the commercialization of Christmas or wax poetic about the Christmas of my youth.
But, no... not today. Seriously... I took this picture this morning of a gift bag:
See anything wrong?
That's right. Merry Chritmas. Chritmas? What the heck?
How does that get past the gift bag proofers?
Anyway... I could see some Pastor somewhere using that for a sermon illustration... You know, we're so focused on everything else, that we overlook what is the 'reason for the season' so to speak. And, I admit, the point hasn't been lost on me in recent days after I noticed the mistake.
I truly have pondered "Where is Christ this Christmas?"
Then, today, we ordered Papa John's and this was the print out that they put on the box:
And there was the answer to the question I've been pondering these last few days.
Christ is still alive and well this Christmas... and, He apparently works at the Papa John's in Leesburg (as He clearly was the one that managed my "pizza experience")... and I must say, the pizza was quite yummy.

Please God, make Jessica Simpson the next Yoko Ono
Assorted thoughts from the weekend:
Those poor "U.S. American" kids that can't afford...such as... maps and stuff.
On that note... gotta run...

I am a juvenile....
I have developed quite the reputation for office practical jokes. I've done so many, I can't even remember them all. From fake company memos to spoofed Washington Post articles to a "shock mouse" (which hurts like a mother)... I've pulled all the tricks out of my bag...
Which brings me to today. Friday afternoons are traditionally slow days at work. I think everyone in my line of business packs it in around Thursday. Well, today was particularly slow because our email was down and my co-worker, Jason (the one I interact with most frequently) left for half a day. And, so... well, I was bored. So I:
(1) Changed his wallpaper to this People magazine cover featuring Lance Bass. I told you I was juvenile...
But... that only took me about 2 seconds... so, then..
(2) I decided to change his email notification noise to the sound of a fart. Yes... that's right... a fart. For those wondering how you even find such a noise... I merely googled "fart .wav" and, behold... google bestowed upon me a bounty of fart noises (some short, some long and some "check your shorts" ones). For this task, I chose the "check your shorts" options. I sent him a test email and, sure enough, I heard the distinctive "rrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiiiiiippppppp" of my chosen fart.
But, again, this only took a couple of seconds. So, basically, I changed every single possible noise on his computer to a fart.
Turn on the computer. Fart
Turn off the computer. Fart
Open up an application. Fart
Type anything. Fart, Fart, Fart
You get the idea. But, I did it to so many things... I don't even know how to undue it all. And the noise is so prevalent now, that his computer sounds terribly gassy... even when no one is sitting at the desk. Basically, his computer needs Bean-o .... badly.
Anyway, he won't get back until Tuesday. I'll let you know how it goes.... rrrrrrrrrrrrrrriiiiiip.

Assorted Details from the Hospital...
My favorite moment: Alright, I'll end on more a serious note. When Will was born... and with Reagan and Luke, as well... I'm not in this instant euphoric state of "love"... I know others have that feeling. For me, I'm really kind of in shock. I love my children...and I would lay down my life for each and every one of them from the moment I know they are in the womb. But, it takes me a couple of days to become "in love" with them. It's hard to explain... I guess I just need a little nudge and, for lack of a better word, bonding time with them.

Will is here!
Don't have much time... have to run back to the hospital... but Will is here (officially William Charles Faircloth... named after her dad, William and my dad, Charles). 9 pounds, 1.6 ounces of pure twisted steel -- in other words, a chip off the old block. Oh, and he was 21 inches if that means anything to you. He looks alot like Reagan did when she was a baby w/a full head of hair. Kelly is doing well and resting (somewhat) comfortably.

Past Due and Way Preggo (this is Kelly posting)
In case anyone is wondering.....I'M STILL PREGNANT! For anyone that has not been pregnant before, let me just fill you in on what is going on with my body. I'll start at the top:
As you can tell, I am such a hotty these days. Please pray for me that this baby comes very, very soon. I don't know how much longer I can take it. Actually, I don't know how much longer Scott can take all my complaining.
