Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Switching Channels

    I’m now bored with Code Blue and Trauma in the ER.  I have found a couple of new shows that I am now obsessed with. Orangutan Island and Animal Precinct.  The first show is seriously the most adorable show out there. I’m not a big fan of Apes or Monkeys. When I was little my…

  • Some people like it, I do not.

    The weather outside is freakin’ nuts. 60 mph winds have caused my disastrous backyard to look even more jacked. The fence on the side of the house had been slamming into the house all night (the latch broke) and we have a waterfall..er..mudslide on the hill behind our house. If it keeps raining, we will…

  • It wouldn’t be a new year without it…

    I remember every ‘crash’ and what it took with it. The great crash of 2002 wiped out all my pictures. It took me days to be able to climb out of bed after that one.  All the ones before that were annoying, but they didn’t cause my heart to break. I did learn after the…

  • Fellow Blogger

    I’m happy to announce that one of our own, Jean Yates, has gotten her book PUBLISHED! She is the wonder mother of one of the boys from The Ruse.  Remember them? Hot guys, can sing and are incredibly wonderful humans?  Oh yeah, their music was played on The Hills. Jean is one fantastic woman and…

  • I’m holed up in my room.

    For Christmas break the girls decided it was time to repaint their room. When I moved back into the house many years ago, I painted the room a very pretty green and cream yellow.  It was such soothing colors.  After Dan moved out and I went back into the master bedroom, Kara got my little…

  • Stat-Counter truly creeps me out.

    I’m not a big fan of Stat tracking for my website.  When I started years ago, I thought it would be cool to see when my ONE reader had checked my website. “Oh look, Mom read my website at 2:21 pm!” As I got more readers, it was sort neat to see WHERE people were…

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.
