Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Fuck Christmas…this year at least.

    I knew that at the beginning of the month that I needed to get a tree and the lights up because this year is going to be FUUUUUCKED when it comes to my mental health.    Well we drug our feet and it’s now the 15th and my desire to find the motivation to do…

  • Lifelong friendships

    This is my favorite time of the year to be on Facebook.  I get to go through the posts I made when I was in Ireland in 2017 and relive the stories, the places we went and the remember the laughter.  During this time I send screenshots to Dale and we text back and forth…

  • oh the drammmmmaaaaaa

    I didn’t plan on the deconstruction of my beliefs, disassembly of my family and the having the front row seat watching my own life twist around all of it…but here I am. Somewhere I watched a video where the person talked about the only control we have is that of our own emotions.  Anger doesn’t…

  • No Catch Up…just thoughts.

    I was laying in bed with all the dogs and I was looking at Murphy as he crept up from my waist to my chest with the most loving look on his face. I pulled him up and kissed his furry face. The overwhelming urge to call my mother and say, “I am a dog…

  • Holy Fucking 2020

    Well hasn’t this year just been a peach? The Bad: Everything that comes out of Trump’s nasty ass mouth. Losing my friend, Lisa to cancer. Ruth Bader Ginsburg passing and leaving a MASSIVE hole in the Supreme Court. Fear of what is going to happen to this country in the next few months. Anxiety coming…

  • Next up! The Dodge!

    So this is the color scheme that Bruce and I have decided on for the 1965 Dodge van, except the white is more of a cream color.The rims have been powder blasted and the Croker tires just rolled through the door. I am so excited to finally start pulling those cars out of storage and…

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.
