Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Happy Birthday, Shea!

    This was my baby girl, Shea before she was even a year old.  Today, she turns TEN. “When is your birthday again?” “MOM! it’s TOMORROW!” Today was spent driving around like a mad woman getting balloons, cake and bike. Another birthday disaster narrowly avoided. Happy Tenth birthday, to the little girl in that picture, how…

  • I cried for an hour last night, and just burst into tears a minute ago.

    As you all know, I’m on a documentary binger.  I have watched about 8 in the last week.  I feel like my head is going to explode with all the stories, stills, videos and words.  The conflicting arguments anger me and I have remember the number of sides to the coin and must remain objective…

  • The ex calls it ‘DELETE’

    From this point on out, there are certain pictures that I am going to have set to Friends and Family only on my Flickr site. If you follow my Flickr feed, please request to be added to the ‘friends and family’ list, M’kay? Question: When was the last time you laughed so hard you cried?

  • Happy Mother’s Day

    This picture was actually taken a long time ago, but it’s still my favorite. My mom loves her kids and grandkids, step grandkids and great granddaughter. She is hands down, the best mom ever. I know you all think you have the best mom, but really, if you could hang out with MY mom, you’d…

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.
