I said, “Howdy”. He said, “Hi”
On the way home from Ryan’s 18th birthday-we-missed-lunch-lets-have-coffee-and-give-you-cards-and-hugs meeting, I was listening to my new Nano (Ipod pay it forward post coming on Tuesday) and Beastie Boys came on. Dan wasn’t singing along with me, Kara, Alyx and Shea. “Dad didn’t get on the Beastie Boys bandwagon in the 80’s.” I announce. “I hate the…

Hello Lame Day!!
We all hate it, but just roll with it this year people. It’s 2009….switch it up. If you didn’t celebrate before (like me) just go out and do it…it’s sort of fun. The kids loved their stuff!! Tonight I’m taking my husband and friend, Megan out to dinner and then to see Friday the 13th….

To say, ‘we have some stuff going on…’ would be a massive understatment…
I realize it’s been forever since I have posted a damn thing about anything with someone in this house… Funny things have happened here, but I’m still trying to get a grasp on how to deal with all the stuff that is going to be able to fully be able to laugh at stuff. I…

Chantix — Take 2
I’m now on the 7th day of Chantix, the quitting smoking pill. The first couple of days were odd because I was so tired I couldn’t keep my eyes open. I felt the mood swings, but they weren’t enough to want me to drown anyone in the toilet, so I figured everyone was safe. Somewhere…

Little Red Birds
Isn’t she freakin’ cute? I got to spend an hour with her and her mom and dad yesterday while we did her 6 month shoot. I swear, it’s a good thing I can’t have babies anymore. Well, I could, but I would have some explaining to Shaun if I did. Today is Superbowl Sunday. It’s…

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.
