Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Alyx 1 – Mom 0

    Having already gone through raising two 12 year old girls, I figured Alyx would be the same.  Boy crazy, school is only for socializing and ignoring my parental demands.  She isn’t like most 12 year olds.  Boys are an after thought, school is for socializing, but it’s also about getting good grades and go figure…

  • Some people will find this offensive…

    Shaun thought that it was hysterical.  I have to agree.  This kid can hang out with us ANYTIME! Stuff like this NEVER happens in Rocklin…until now.  Finally someone had a sense of humor in this town!

  • Three months in…

    I woke up this morning thinking about Grandma.   She use to love her coffee.  A pot was always either sitting there or she was brewing up some.  I wonder how many cans of Yuban that woman went through? The thought occurred to me that she never really had a good cup of coffee.  Never had…

  • He will never give you more than you can handle….

    Whoever came up with that cute little ditty, did NOT have a 16 year old daughter who passed her drivers test yesterday. Yes, my little bitty Karebear is driving now.  She has her first lesson today.  I have informed all our friends and relatives that live in the area that when she is on the…

  • I WISH!!

    I wish for something, you comment back granting me that wish and then fuck it up and then ask for your own wish. Example: randomandodd: I wish I could get it together. you: GRANTED! but once you get it all together you realize it’s in boxes and on a U-haul to nowhere.  I wish I…

  • I’m never taking this off!

    Rock, Paper, Scissors, Lizard, Spock Scissors cut paper. Paper covers rock. Rock crushes lizard. Lizard poisons Spock. Spock smashes scissors. Scissors decapitate lizard. Lizard eats paper. Paper disproves Spock. Spock vaporizes rock. and as always… Rock crushes scissors. Anyone else get this and think it’s the COOLEST thing ever? …or am I a total geek?

Why I Started My Personal Blog

I started Random and Odd back in 2002 or so because it was all the rage and my mom and sister were perpetually online either playing games or finding recipes.
I decided that I wanted to be able to write what I was going through as a parent and keep them updated on what the girls were saying or doing. It started out just a way for me to vent, rant or laugh about life.
It turned into more when other people outside of my mom and sister started reading it and through the years it was just a place for Stuff Portrait Fridays, meeting other people blogging and making those people friends. It was a place to put down a photo I took that I was proud of and then it was a place to talk about the traveling I was doing. Now it’s just a dumping ground of bullshit that is swirling in my head.

I want to get back to writing, taking photos and traveling and doing a complete redo of R & 0 was needed to document.
Enjoy the minimalist look.
