• In awe…

    In skydiving we are sometimes graced with nicknames.  I narrowly avoided ‘flares’.  We have “red” “stretch” “chocolate” “mudmonkey” “juicbox” “flying lesbian” and a bunch others. I get teased for the twisted leg strap incident. While at the dropzone yesterday I had Ed have Lester put on a rig and see if he would twist the…

  • I started the 365 project on Flickr this year.  I have tried to do in the past and just couldn’t get past day 3. This time I am on Day 11 and I’m still going strong. I have a lot of ideas I would like to do, but getting them to work isn’t always easy….

  • Happy Birthday, Susie

    I was lucky enough to be allowed in the emails that started this birthday wish for you, Susie. As they came pouring in I thought, “How the hell am I going to be able to even come close or find something that hasn’t been said already? Well the answer is, I can’t. You have such…

  • Hey Mom,

    Where I hang out…and the people I hang out with.

  • I got an email….

    So I was digging through emails looking for the confirmation email for my new bluetooth when I noticed that TheYear2009@ohyeahitsuckith dot com had sent me an email. Dear Kristine, I’ve kinda heard some of the stuff you’re saying about me and my feelings are deeply hurt. I know our relationship kinda started out on rocky…

  • Merry Christmas Random And Odd…

    I hope you all got what you wanted for Christmas this year.  <removing snarky comment> Last year Dan bought me a pink Motorola blue tooth from the girls for Christmas.  In this last year that poor thing has survived so much. A few months ago I pulled the clothes out of the dryer and the…

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.
