ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Why I shouldn’t be allowed to listen to music

    Jeremiah is a music lover. His favorite this week is “Highway to Hell” because of the drumming in the beginning. He waits for it, He waits for it, He waits for it…DRUMS!!   and then we start it over again.  I may have worn out the first 25 seconds of that song. As he was snoozing…

  • alrighty YOU WIN!!

    Back by popular demand…STUFF PORTRAIT FRIDAYS!! I’ve gotten many, many, many emails and online requests for the return of Stuff Portrait Friday. I am caving in. I’ll be easy on you this week: A favorite picture. After my laptop died, I lost all of my programs for editing and had to find some online ‘free’…

  • I can’t even swallow without wondering if my throat is closing up.

    Since I went off the medication I hardly talk about what I have been going through with it.  I keep telling myself every single day that I am alright. Everything is going to be alright.  Much of what is going through my mind can be negotiated.  Especially the attacks that use to rule my life. …

  • Who’s all out there?

    Recently I found out that a wonderful, old friend read my blog.  And since I have her attention I want her to know that I love her very much and I am glad that I get to see her face and name popping up here and there. It got me to thinking about the sites…

  • …and thennnnn

    This was the drive all the way to Reno to see the concert (and roll around in hotel towels) While I soaked in the tub, this guy was keeping himself entertained with the hotel mirrors in the bathroom. And don’t get me started on THESE two. If they had their choice, our lives would be:…

  • That sound you hear, it’s my tummy grumbling.

    This last week, physically, has been rough on me. The diet is draining me of energy (I thought there was none to start with!) Today, I got vertigo. The whooshing in my ears. After sitting down for awhile and getting up super slow, I was alright. We leave for Reno today for the Matchbox 20…

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.
