• Together…

    There was a point in my life where I didn’t want to keep going.  It was about 11 years ago and I was at rock bottom. The only thing that kept my car in the right lane was the image of my little girls playing dress up and the image of them grown and putting…

    I was bartering with God on the way home from work today. “Dear God, please just allow me to jump out of a plane…say…10 more times and I swear when I look up at the sky, I will give thanks and think of heaven and not “oh today I bet they are getting in at…

  • Looking back and moving forward…

    I had an awesome weekend with my whole family in Redding.  My little ones wanted to spend the week with their grandparents and auntie during their break.  Spoiled just doesn’t cover it. They have been back this week, but since they missed karate last week they have to make up for it all week this…

  • It’s just stupid

    How much I love the TV show Chuck! Okay, and now to things that don’t involve the best show on TV. I am hoping that in the next two days I will find out the best news I have had in YEARS!  Two days might be too hopeful. I am hopeful…so freaking hopeful right now….

  • Hopeful.

    I had a rough last year and this year tried to wear some of 2009’s clothes, but despite that…I have hope. For almost a year I have despised the word “Hope”. Because not only did I allow someone to take it way, it made me question EVERY single thing and EVERY single person I met. …

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.
