• Happy Birthday Dan!

    He always makes sure the girls have a good birthday.  This year he gets to have a good one! Now maybe he can stop pouting that I got to see Matchbox 20 last year for my birthday! :) LOVE YOU DANNO!

  • Ha.

    Ruka: “You safe? Text me and let me know you’re going to be fine so I can go to bed.” Me: “I’m fantastic..” 2 minutes later: Me: “Or I just might be the guy holding your friend hostage.” I’m thinking she didn’t think it was as funny I did. In my defense, I did send…

  • Blue Skies Rob and Barb…

    I had expressed to my friend, John that when he’s out skydiving without me, to please let me know when the day is over for him to text message me and let me know that he was back on the earth and fine. I got a text message from him saying, “I’m ok. It wasn’t…

  • Life was GREAT today!

    I took some of my favorite people bowling! Ruka, Benjamin, Megan, Justin, Kara & Emily and my favoritest little guy who still calls me auntie. I love it when he does, my heart melts a little bit.  He has me wrapped around his finger after all these years. Oh and today was kick ass day!…

  • Unexpected Emails…

    Checked my email today and got a message from our marriage counselor. “It’s never to late to jump start your marriage…” My first thought was, ‘ouch’.  Then I talked it over with my co-worker and decided that this wonderful counselor needed a reply to her email. It went something like this: Thanks for the email…

  • Suddenly Single…

    At some point I was going to have to start writing about the dating scene.  Not exactly sure where to start with this, but let’s try it out anyway. I’m not saying I’m dating or seeing anyone in particular…because that’s the truth. Let’s just go with what I was told when I my marriage ended,…

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.
