• SPF: A gift you have been given…

    Kimmy, who I can’t say enough about, is totally awesome and gave me her old Ipod. She will never in a million years know how much this means to me. I know I have said that before, but really…it means the world to me.  She knew it was something I have always wanted…and when she…

  • Why does all the spam mail come in around midnight?

    It seems like I get all those weird spam mails after midnight. I wonder if those people work from home or if they are dragging themselves into the office at 3 am to start mass emailing. Maybe it’s a machine that send them out? I don’t know, spam is like magic, best if I don’t…

    I’m trying to locate the bedroom floor again.  It’s weird how many times I do that in a month huh? I stumbled on about 7 old check books.  Not that anyone could actually get anything if they stole my identity, but I do take some precautions and destroying checkbooks from accounts that are not active…

  • NO F*ing WAY!

    I have been wanting to say, “Fuck this shit” all day long. I’m not sure why, part of the cursing regime I am on. Unfortunately, Alyx has been laying next to me all day and I have had to curb my nightly cursing to, “no, i love you more darn it.” I figured since she…

  • SPF: Yeah, it’s noon.

    Sweet huh?  this is what happens when you hand the camera to the kids and hope they get some good ones of Thanksgiving. Our Turkey Day was quiet.  It didn’t feel the same as usual. Now on to Christmas. Which one of you crazy people went out and actually shopped?  I would rather chop off…

  • Thanksgiving Day!

    HAPPY THANKSGIVING! Kara here! I’m almost shaking knowing that I am writing on R&O! ME!! I know my mom will assasinate me if I say ‘like’ or if I spell something wrong, so I’m going to spell check the crap out of this thing! Good thing my mom leaves herself pre-logged in. hehe. She has…

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.
