• Internal Anti-Cuddling Mechanisms

    There are two types of cuddling people. 1. The obligatory cuddler.  The act of cuddling goes no further than the time watching television and those moments (and when I say moments, I actually mean nano seconds) when you decide to go to sleep and while getting into position, it would appear rude to not hold…

  • I never know what to expect.

    “Do you need anything from the store?” Shaun asks. “CARMEX!” Kara yells from the bedroom, where normally she can’t hear anything, but when someone is making a trip to the store she has super sonic hearing. “Kristine, do YOU need anything?” He asks again. “Mmmmm…no, don’t think so.” I answer. Shea and Alyx come running…

  • Have you ever…

    Here’s a totally hypothetical situation. I am going to change the wording around a little bit because just in case someone is reading this and doesn’t believe me when I say ‘hypothetical’.  Really, who believes someone when they say, “hypothetically”. See, right there, I tossed that word into the ” ” because I either don’t…

  • Auto Update…

    Along with Tivo, I wish life had a pause, rewind and fast forward option. I didn’t watch Click because I don’t want to ruin the image of the perfect world I have in my head. Well, along with the beforementioned options, I would like to add: Auto Update. When things are getting old. Auto Update….

  • box it up or donate it. It has GOT TO GO.

    I’ve sort of been on this, ‘throw away everything you have ever owned’ kick lately.  It started with 80% of the content in my garage.   I couldn’t be happier.  Well, that’s just a stupid statement, OF COURSE I COULD BE HAPPIER. I’m just really glad that the crap that was attracting mice is now out…

  • Today…

    I wish they had realistic horoscopes. Today mine would read, “Just go on ahead and sream FUCK! at the top of your lungs. You’re going to need it to get throughout the day. In fact…spend the first 3 hours of your day just doing that.”

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.
