First, on the photo assignment. There's still a couple of hours before the deadline, but thanks to the 10 who have gotten their assignment in so far! In order, thanks to Syar, Lisa, NCS, me, Yvonne, Mrs. Monkey Butt, Tori, Daniel, Jonathan, and Aubrey. Now, the old Omar might have gone and called out some of those who said they would participate, but have not (yet). But this Omar? I'm a better man. So don't worry, Nobody, Lauren, Cadiz, Jon, Nancy Face, JustRandi, Rhonda, and others, you can all rest easy. The new Omar wouldn't dream of calling any of you out!
But for the record, I probably won't get to putting together a photo gallery until sometime on Tuesday. So if you still wanted to participate but didn't yet get a chance, or if you officially gave up because you didn't see a face anywhere, or if you took the picture but don't have a way to get it off your camera yet, you have an extra day or so to regroup, un-give up, or get a hold of the necessary cables/adapters.
Second, one day this week, I was home with the boy. I'll spare you details, but for the first time in my life, I said, "Hang on, let me wipe my own bottom first." Sorry if that was TMI, but I had to jot it down somewhere so I wouldn't forget it next time I'm scrapbooking. That day is getting its own page.
Third, given the scare of lead paint in toys these days, I thought it surprisingly refreshing when I saw this price label at Target for the Fisher Price Geotrax Grand Central Station train set:
Fourth, I'm not really a scrapbooker.
UPDATE:
Fifth, Jon did get his assignment in on time. Next time, I'm making the deadline a time that is before my bedtime, so I can only (not) call people out who are deserving prior to going to bed. My apologies, Onj.

Nobody? JON?
I'm sure they were out of the country or something. They must have been, otherwise why would they not send their PA.
Not that I'd single them out or anything.
Truth in advertising!

that wiping your own butt before wiping the kids butt story is all too familiar for me and ava. unfortunately.
Jon said:
Hey, I just wanted to thank you for not calling me out. I know a lot of other people would have been tempted to do that, but you're better than that. Especially since it's not even past the deadline yet. Thanks for not jumping the gun on that one, truly you are a man of great integrity. I salute you.
Syar said:
I was first? Awesome. I'm a little sad about Jon's non-contribution, but he said Bones wouldn't be around, right? Maybe he's just being loyal.

You should put on your own oxygen mask before assisting small children travelling with you.

I decided the contest was too difficult for me. That, and I was too lazy/busy to do it. I can't wait to see the results though!

Maybe I'll look around for some more smiley faces. I know mine was lame. :(
Nancy Face said:
I resemble that remark!
Nancy Face said:
I really have tried...I look for faces everywhere, and all I see are REAL Faces! I think I'll go make up a song about being lame-o and stuff.
Lisa said:
You're NOT a scrapbooker?!
Lauren said:
Yes! I got scratched off the poop list!
Oh, guess what I did last night? I made THE video. Yep...THAT one. It is in the editing process right now. You should know it features not only me...but Nancy Face, Ted Face AND Kris Face.

Omar, a comment you made somewhere (maybe Becky's?) and then your twitter update, and then some wikipedia research on Pete Rose tells me that today is your birthday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
(best wishes from H, too.)
Nancy Face said:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I mean, like...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Seriously...HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
I hope it's the best ever!
Oh, yes...and HAPPY BIRTHDAY, too!
Tori:) said:
I think I may be late saying this but...
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!! YAY!
aubrey said:
happy birthday, omar!!
Jonathan said:
WOW 31, and it seems like just yesterday you were posting about turning 30. Wow I can't believe that was a year ago.
Happy belated birthday!
Btw, I’m sorry to tell you this, but in my opinion 31 is the hard year not 30. Good luck!
Nobody said:
Um, Happy Birthday.
And I'm really sorry for dropping the ball on a picture. I really did look for faces. All I saw were ones covered in snot. I'm sure that's not what you had in mind.
Also, your "second," paragraph is SO FUNNY. I can remember the first time I said something, probably along those lines, I just burst out laughing at how absurd parenthood ended up REALLY being. I think what I said was, "Because fingers don't belong there" when I had the good hearty solo laugh.
I said:
Thanks for the birthday wishes!
Rhonda said:
I know...I totally suck on the photo assignment. I swear I found nothing that remotely looked like a face that wasn't a face. :(
