• I can’t take a picture this well.

    Elephant can paint I don’t think I have ever seen anything more amazing than this elephant painting a self portrait. It sort of makes me feel like the biggest idiot. This elephant can paint and I can’t get my dog to stop drinking out of the toilet. Towards the end of this amazing video, Alyx…

    Triangle. This is actually is a very special triangle that hold the girls, ‘Magic Rocks’.  Some of them are bought at stores, some are sent to them from people in different states or picked up by friends at the beach.   Each one of them is ‘magic’ somehow. The ‘Triange’ was given to me years…

    Later the same night that I posted the last entry, Tyler comes bursting into my room and going straight for my clean towels. “Tyler! What are doing?” “I’m getting a towel.” He looks at me like he’s about to say, “Here’s your sign.” “WHY?” My voice has risen to the level that only dogs can…

  • Open Letter to the Boy,

    Do you remember 2 months ago when we all sat down and went over the ‘towel’ issue we were having? You know, the one where ALL the towels end up in your room, under all your stinky, teenage funk? Do you remember the solution we came up with? The one where we all get our…

  • It’s offically MONDAY

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.
