Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • sick again…

    I’m on my 6th round of antibiotics in 2 months.  Yeah, “You’re fine.” MY ASS I AM FINE!  Next time the damn doctor better not just look at a damn xray and say everything is okay. Going back to the urologist to tell him to run every single test they have. I am sick of…

  • Shaun calls them African American Berries. He’s about being correct.

    If you haven’t been Blackberry picking in your lifetime, you are missing out. As a kid we would pick the wild ones that grew everywhere around town. They were thorny and you could cut an artery trying to reach in to get the big ones, but they were worth it. Yesterday we went up to…

  • The Long Awaited Picture!

    As we were walking out the door for me to get Tyler to college I glanced back at him. Three guesses on what shirt he WAS wearing before I fell to the floor cracking up, the first two don’t count. He ran back to his room and changed his shirt out of the red one…

  • Trying to kill my family — Take 2

    Last week I kidnapped my mother and her come stay with me.  The first two days were pretty mellow, but once I got my car running again (fucking water pump) we were running around, catching up on all the stuff we had to do that didn’t get done the first two days. On Wednesday I…

  • Gambling runs in the family I guess…

    When I was up visiting my mom, we dropped in on my auntie Shirley. I had forgotten how funny she is. It’s been a long time since I had seen her in person and I the last time I saw her, it made me a little sad because she was recovering from being very sick….

  • The Every Year Tradition…

    Our first year as a blended family. 2003-2004. Tyler was a Freshman. The older girls were big, bad 6th graders and Alyx was going into 2nd grade and Shea into First. Tyler was Sophmore. The girls had moved on to a new school and were ‘Sevies’. Alyx was a 3rd grader and Shea moved into…

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.
