    There probably is a handbook on how to deal with someone leaving you. Trust me, if I could find it, I would read it cover to cover. Open a church and preach it. People ask, “How can I help?” and I finally figured out what would make this easier. If I could just forget how…

  • Just Sayin’

    Whoever came up with the idea of sticking such a beautiful town (Monterey) in a place where it rains and is colder than hell in the morning…well, EPIC FAIL.

  • First Day of School….

    The first day of school again. I was going to put up the pictures from the past so you could all see how much they have grown, but as I was pulling up the pictures, my heart started to break and I decided to just skip the linking of the old posts and pictures. Kara…

  • Baby girl is doing GREAT!

    Shea didn’t want to go to Santa Cruz this weekend because the car I rented was too fast. I sat her down and said, “Baby, I don’t want you to ever miss a thing because you were too scared. I promise I will not make you ride anything and I will sit there with you…

  • The Random and Odd Update…

    I had a panic attack. It’s been a few days since it happened and as much as I wasn’t going to say anything about it, I realized that you have followed me on this journey and some are even on it with me.  It wouldn’t be fair if I put a false face on Random…

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.
