convos with the mister.

If you don't follow me on twitter (cough, cough)...then you pretty much miss the random conversations between the mister and I.  You know he has to be a pretty interesting guy in order to function well along with my ADHD & OCD.  It's a necessity. 

I was shuffling through my twitter account and came across these nuggets.  I thought I would give my readers some insight on our relationship. hehe.

♥Should the mister be allowed to tell me to "go drown in a lake" and call me a "queen" in the same breath? 

♥No Jeremy,  I will NOT ride in the back of the truck. Even if it DOES have a camper...

♥So glad the mister is being a fantastic man and sweeping my kitchen floor. Even if he IS singing "Who Let the Dogs Out" while doing it.... 

♥The mister calls me "Lucille-ifer." I should be offended, but it's too funny.

♥I'm discussing with the mister how my naturally curly hair is getting more and more unruly. He says, "that's because it's turning white." Grrr.

♥Him: "It's harder to eat rice with pork chops." Me: "You mean chopsticks?"

♥Him: What's the highest score in bowling? Because that's what I bowl.

♥Me: Wow. That girl's stomach is hangin' out her shirt. Him: It looks like a water balloon.

♥The mister just told me to go stand in the road, close my eyes & count to 100. I think the anniversary is over.  

♥So I tell the mister that I'm bored. He says, "See if you can fit in the fireplace." Gotta love him. 

♥"Speaking of court, the new Taco Bell is open." - the mister (aka Random Man)

As I read back over these little moments, I smile.  How blessed am I to have such an entertaining marriage? I'm hoping that you other couples out there have these same kind of moments.  Moments when it's just the two of you acting crazy, when all of a sudden you stop and say, "It's a good thing no one sees us acting like this."  

Those are my favorites. :)

rooty tuesday!

Not sure why I want to call it "Rooty Tuesday," but it makes me smile. :)  So there.

I need a day where I can be completely random in my posting.  (As if I really need an excuse.)

So, I plan on every Tuesday being devoted to the utter randomness that is my life.  And oh, the fun we shall have.

So, today's post includes a link to a video clip.  *squeeeee* 

My friends and I pretty much have a weekly ritual of piling in my house to play SingStar.  For those of you who don't know, SingStar is a karaoke game for the Playstation.  It's insane!  You'll never understand without video footage, so I offer you just one moment from last night at the Dodd house.

Enjoy. :)

oh my dodd!

Ok, so for those of you who don't know....

I have a web show.  Yes, it's true.

The OhMyDodd! Show

It's amazing to me how this all came about.  My mom sends me a video camera so I can upload videos to YouTube for her and other friends and family to see.  Apparently many others found my randomness entertaining.  Who'd have thought? 

I've including two of my good friends (Israel & Mishell) as regulars on the show.

Since June, our Facebook fan page has 468 fans!  Whoa!

Well, the publisher of the Lodi News-Sentinel happens to be a fan as well and recently asked us to star in their upcoming commercial.  Production and filming was too much fun!  The editing is finally done and you can check out the online version here. 

If you think you can possibly follow my randomness and possibly find it worth your time (lol), you can check out The OhMyDodd! Show on YouTube here. 

However, if my over the top humor & hyperactivity are too much, I completely understand. haha

Look out world!  The OhMyDodd! Show is out! 

oooh....I'm a fancy award-winner.

This is a momentous occasion.

I received my first award!

My friend Amy over at The Adventures of the Miraflor Family, who makes those amazingly cute hoodies, gave it to me. It's called "The Honest Scrap" award. Not really sure how I got it, but I am saying it's because I tell things like they are...and I'm scrappy. hehe

By accepting the award, I am supposed to post 10 interesting things about myself.  So, let's see what I can do....

1. My nickname is "Rowdy." It has been for over 10 years.  Some people don't even know my real name.

2. I KNOW I won the husband lottery!! He's wonderful!

 

3. I absolutely love music! I play several instruments and I sing.

4. I love organization! The Container Store gives me goosebumps! lol

5. I am a Muralist and have my own business--Rowdy Rooms.

 

6. I have 14 nieces and nephews.  I love them all!  --Aaron, Alexis, Jacob, Caden, Lucas, Caleb, Jonah, Jazmine, Kennedie, Kylee, Kamberlyn, Macy, Katelyn & Levi.

7. I "punch" people to show affection. I don't know why.  Maybe it's a southern thing.  It's not forceful.  Just a little "love pat".... ;)

8.  I was once attacked by a turkey.  Had a random fear of them for years....haha

9. I compulsively eat one thing at a time. Fries...then the burger. Sides...then the meat.

10. I LOVE to alphabetize things!

My second duty as an "Honest Scrap" winner is that I am also supposed to award it to seven other blogs. Sooo here they are:

Displaced Southerner

The Winey Mommy

The Random Thoughts of Kristen 

Contently Consistently Chaotic

Memoirs of a Pentecostal Recessionista

Serendipity Daily

Sweet Cheeky Designs

Thanks Amy!  I'm so excited to have received my very first award.  Now I'm looking forward to reading everyone else's random facts. :)

For now....I'm out.

rawr.

I made a random discovery lately.

It all started with a quest to discover the Texas state fish. (Random, I know....however you must remember who you're talking to here.) So, as I surfed the internet on my handy, dandy iPhone.....I found it.

I do have an unhealthy obsession with iPhone. However, that is the topic of another discussion.

So, as I discovered that the Texas state fish is the Guadalupe Bass......my eyes wandered to a category title that read:

State Dinosaur.

What?!!? Is that really necessary?

Now, I may be the only person who finds this odd (and incredibly humorous). To me it's like declaring the state laundry detergent. Except for the fact that laundry detergent actually currently exists!!

Moreover, who gets that job?? It's got to be someone with ADHD. Seriously...I would kill to have it! It's almost like the original "best job ever." That title goes to the first job ever recorded.

Oh yeah.
Mister Adam had it made coming up with names for all of the animals. Leave it to me to want to name things for a living. Just a productive way for me to use my randomness. Awesome.

And in case you were wondering, the Texas state dino is the Pleurocoelus. No idea what that is.....

random.

My ADHD is currently in overdrive.
This is me trying to tell you that you'll have to work to keep up with this post.

So, first let's start with a wonderful round of applause for my Dallas Mavericks.
*applause*
I'm guessing that it took me leaving the state for them to shut down San Antonio in the playoffs....but hey, whatever it takes.

I've also recently found myself craving coffee.
all. the. time.

I'll be in Safeway and the magnificent aroma will cause me to float to the coffee aisle. So wonderful.... I think I'll write a poem about coffee. Just you wait.

I now know why I enjoy living in the country.
No neighbors.

People are crazy! Since moving into my new apartment, I have had more run-ins with the crazies than ever before. Seriously....

Example A: I'm leaving my apartment as another tenant of the male persuasion is sitting on a bench near the exit. Here is the conversation:

Him: Hello.

Me: Hi. (I continue walking.)

Him: Lookin' good there!!

(I walk much faster.)


Example B: I get home from work to find a man standing outside the entrance. (You have to have a key to enter the building, or be buzzed up.) Again.....another conversation:

Him#2: Hi!

Me: Hi. (Walking to the door.)

Him#2: Hey, I'm waiting for my friend. Can I come up and wait with you?

Me: Umm...no. (Walk in, shut door.)

Crazies, I tell you! Then, I have people stomping overhead....and someone felt the need this week to hammer. All morning. It was like they were building a house...in a studio apartment! *sigh*

Also, I must take this opportunity to give a shout out to my wonderful friend, Sis. Gayla Baughman. I told you I would, and here it is. I'm wondering two things. When will you blog again, and why aren't you following me yet?? ha ha

Nothing really pressing to blog about at the current moment. I will, however, make a promise now to try and post more regularly. I understand that I have become a slacker. I understand the need for me to fill your minds with randomness on a regular basis.

Done.
