Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • *sigh*

    You know that saying, “What doesn’t kill you, makes you stronger.” ?  Yeah, that person that came up with that saying can suck it! The shock wore off. The denial has worn off. The pissed off phase kicked in about an hour ago when I had to spend 4 hours of my life removing four…

    Today wasn’t one of the better days. In fact, at the end of the day on the way home I decided it was time to just lose it.  I cried the whole hour plus on the way home.  I’m sure if you were one of the many unfortunate souls that had to drive next to…

  • Good Day, Bad Day, Good Day, Bad Day…

    That drive home is killing me.  That is way too much time in my own head to think about things. I did smile when I saw this old man out on the side of the road playing catch with his two labs.  I can still smile at the small things and the joy of an…

  • Today…was really good.

    Monday is my new BFF. Monday means that I don’t have to wake up and think about being caught in my head for 2 whole days. Monday is Nick doesn’t have school and can come over and help the girls with their homework. Monday is made dinner, ate dinner and had the kitchen cleaned before…

  • You couldn’t pay me to own that one….

    I don’t want this to be my life! I don’t want to be this person I’m turning into.  As every minute passes I am getting colder and colder. Last night I thought something to myself;  I will never trust another person for as long as I live because I believed that someone knew ME, the…

  • Dreams…

    I’m finding that weekend mornings are the hardest. Not wanting to get up at six am on the weekend, I turned off my phone alarms (3 of them) and hoped to sleep in.  I woke up at 6:30 am.  So much for sleeping in.  Once I wake up, my mind is processing everything that happened…

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.
