ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Thank you for your words…

    I needed it today. Okay, next thing that has me all in tissy; This whole FLDS thing and CNN running it.  Today on CNN, they ran pictures from a website from the group of people, and I am leaving their beliefs and religion out of it 100%, in this post, they are just PEOPLE, lots…

  • it’s 5am…i must angry.

    I’m going to start this post with the image of me knocking my hand as hard as I can over and over again into the biggest piece of wood I can find. It’s been a long time since I’ve opened my email box and found anything other than something nice, words of wisdom and questions…

  • once a year photo shoot

    Once a year I let Shaun take pictures of me. I’m thee worst model. He took a bunch of pictures and I deleted too many to count. I’m the worst smiler. I have this fake smile that I can’t help but making. When I am not fake smiling, I am making THIS face. Pretty huh?…

  • Passionate…about Television? Really?

    My blog designer, Ophelia is so awesome. I told you this already right?  Okay, good. We were sitting here today talking about television.  It got me  to wondering something:  What television shows are you passionate about? I mean, if you had to sit down and write something about nothing more than a television show, what…

  • give me a description of something more painful than nails on a chalkboard.

    The girls were talking NON STOP about this show on MTV called Rock the Cradle.   It’s the children of famous rock/pop stars. You would think this had the possibility of being a super fantastic show. No. Growing up in Shingletown meant I didn’t get MTV. I got The Lawrence Whelk Show, but not MTV.   In…

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.
