• Santa knows I’m forcing it…

    Yesterday Shaun and I went to pick out a Christmas tree.  Normally we procrastinate until a week before Christmas before we rush out and get a tree. Halloween came and we were, “ugh”. Thanksgiving came and we were like, “ugh”.  Figuring that Christmas was going to be much like the same. Our solution was to…

  • Only SEVEN Random things about me?

    I was tagged with a Meme by Leane. Normally, I don’t do these things outside of MySpace, because I read somewhere that MySpace is the internet’s ghetto, and what a better place to put down all the stupid things like, “What are you wearing right now?” questions? In this certain Meme (which, by the way…what…

  • Wii

    Liz brought her Wii with her when she moved to California while Dennis is in Iraq. She told me in her most adorable southern drawl, “you’re gunna get sooo addicted to it, ya’all.” Now, I can only think of a few times that I have been addicted to a video game. 1. When mom and…

  • Thanksgiving’ed out

    I know how it feels, old girl. WORN OUT. Okay, I have decided what I want for Christmas.  EVERYONE needs to make me this special loaf of bread my sister, master baker (but still Mom’s second favorite) made for me because of the orgasmic sounds I was making after she gave me a slice. One…

  • Because really, you don’t believe how weird our ‘family’ can truly be.

    Need a recap for any new readers ??*coughyeahrightcough* or perhaps a reminder on how R & O we are. Dan — My ex-husband and father of Kara, Alyx and Shea. Shaun — Current husband, father to Tyler and Marina. It has been suggested that someone needs to make a sitcom about our family, but in…

  • RESET!

    FINALLY! I finally got up to mom and Kath’s house to visit. It was, as Kathy calls it “WAY TOO SHORT”, and I need to go back and spend like 2 months to catch up. I didn’t plan on getting my hair done, but after seeing Kara’s hair when Kathy finished it…I begged her to…

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.
