Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Taking A Stand!

    The Doodlebops. This is just WRONG.  This more wrong than Barney and Teletubbies.  WRONG I SAY! If you don’t have kids and you don’t have to watch this show, DON’T.  Don’t even click the link because I know most of you have anxiety problems. If you have kids and you let them watch this…BAD PARENT!…

  • not too bad for a woman who’s going to be grandma!

    My sister is so hot. She’s also going to go to heaven for not smothering my mother while she slept on Saturday night. They came down Friday night and my sister chopped off my hair and dyed it back to the color she knows is best for me.  My mom stayed up past her bed…

  • Holy Shit, it worked!

    My sister called me this morning as I am dropping off the kids to school.  Keep in mind, I am not awake while I am driving my kids to school. My eyes are open and I am driving, but not awake. “You are dead to me. DEAD I SAY!”  If it didn’t say, “Sisser Ween”…

  • SPF: spewing tuna fish makes for a lame spf. sorry.

    Another week just snuck up on me and I didn’t have the time or energy to put the thought into like I wanted to. I owe you all something, so I am going to do what I do best, be honest.  I hope the pictures explain it. Something I have Outgrown: I thought of putting…

  • My mother’s favorite revenge…my daughters.

    You know that phrase, “What part of NO do you not understand?” That phrase was made up by a frustrated mother. “Mom…” She comes up to the bed where i’m sleeping. She’s using that tone. “No.” “Mom.”  Now she’s using a tone that proves that the ‘mom’ before wasn’t as urgent this time. “No.” “But…

  • Questions they only ask mom…

    “Kristine, where is a Tennis Ball.” Now take a moment and think back to all the posts about our Tennis Playing family.  Any come to mind?

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.
