• SPF: SOMETHING RED

    Well, you were all expecting something all red huh? Naw. Not me. Today was a super busy day. I decided to use this picture because I’ve been thinking about my Grandma a lot lately. It’s been 14 years since she passed away, but sometimes I swear I can still hear her talking to me. Telling…

  • going..going…

    It’s been six months of pain, pill and frustration. I started the antibiotics; allergic reaction. I started different antibiotics; allergic reaction. 2 MRI’s 2 Ultrasounds 3 different urologists. 2 doctors. 2 OBGYN docs. 1 snazzy trip to the ER. HUNDREDS of dollars on pills/visits So many ‘second opinions’. The last bit of pills — It’s…

  • Damn it!

    Well, I thought yesterday those pills were it. I went all day without the ‘episode’, and I actually thought to myself, ‘you know what? I can handle the ringing in my ears and the dizzyness, and maybe I will get use to it and drive again soon!” I had hope yesterday. Hope was lost this…

  • I did not pass out!

    It’s looking like my inability to sleep is so stubborn that even a pill that will drop my blood pressure so low that it causes blacking out, will not work on me.  Who would have guessed I would be happy for the stubborn no-sleep gene? I took the pill last night and then realized I…

  • “how did the doctor’s visit go?”

    Yesterday sucked, so how could today get any worse? I can go visit my doctor. “So what happened?” he asks. I tell him about how after Thanksgiving I forgot to take an antibiotic and how within 24 hours of not taking the pill, I am right back to where I was before. With a bladder…

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.
