  • Eh-hem.

    I spent the evening at the Roller Derby. that is all.

  • Kara’s Sweet and Sour 16th Birthday Weekend

    It’s hard to believe that tomorrow my first born will be 16 years old. Shaun and I planned a trip to San Francisco for her and I a couple weeks ago. It involved one of her favorite things in the world…musicals. I bought Wicked when it came out and made it through a few chapters…

    Kara and I are spending the weekend in San Francisco this weekend for her 16th birthday.  We are going to see Wicked and then go to Alcatraz the next day. There will be no, “My Sweet 16” over the top birthday party for her.   This may be the last birthday she will want to spend…

  • I wish I could write this in cursive with loops and hearts

    Many of you know my little secrets.  I’ve never bought my own bra and because of it I don’t even really know what my bra size is.  I will re-dry my clothes because I only like folding hot laundry. I’ve busted out of two pairs of jeans in the last month. I can’t pick out…

  • Fogging up the windows and drawing pictures

    Remember in the beginning of the year I had this whole new outlook on how things were going to be in my life?  Within the first couple of weeks 2009 kicked my ass showed me who was his bitch.  That would be me. Honestly, the reason I haven’t written much in Random and Odd is…

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.
