    Marina has signed up for Relay for Life. It supports the American Cancer Society. I have been  blessed without having to have a close member of my family or best friend go through cancer.  I do know people and I admire them more than any words I can write.   I’m scared with a bladder/kidney infection,…

    I took pictures of the rash this morning.  I shared the pictures with my family and a friend. I actually thought about posting the pictures, but decided against it. Just looking at them, make me gag a little bit. The doctors said, “Well, just stay on the Benedryl until it goes away…two or three days.”…

  • Really? COME ON!!

    I woke up this morning with itchy ankles. It looks like I was bit a few times on my ankles. I figured that the million dollar flea control didn’t work. When I got out of bed, I noticed a few more bites on my arms. After I pulled down my pants I nearly fainted. My…

  • Angels and Brats…

    The last couple of weeks was spent with my mom and sister.  It was nice catching up with them and giving them a glimpse into my life, outside of the blog.  It’s been a few years since they had been with me for more than a few days and on their ground. I think they…

  • OMG!

    For some of you, this will mean nothing, to those of you that know me, REALLY know me, you’ll be freaking out for me. On my way home from seeing Tropic Thunder (which wasn’t as good at House Bunny) we got off the freeway and in front of us was a Mercedes that said: Jim…

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.
