Internet, Meet John…the coolest man that ever was or ever will be.
I adore this man. This is Shaun’s grandma’s BOYFRIEND. He’s been in the family longer than I have been alive. When I was around 13 my wonderful grandpa died. The best memories I have of him where during his final year with us. My mother and I spent nearly hour of everyday with him in…

I’m Smiling Again
Happy Gobble Day. Hope everyone ate so much they burst. I got kitchen duty this year, ALL BY MYSELF…I’m such a big girl now. They let me wash the special china. I’m still not able to ‘put them away’, but maybe next year. Shaun titled this photo “She Knows Her Place”. I threw the balled…

Going Back…
This isn’t something I ever write about. It’s not really anything I talk about, because it still feels somewhat ‘tragic’ to me. Today is the due date I had for what would have been my second child. Kara was very young and this ‘new baby’ wasn’t expected. When I suspected that I was pregnant again,…

Big World…
The beach was a blast. To see all the pictures, go check out our Flickr site. I wish we could have spent more time there, but the fog rolled in and it got too cold. We never stepped foot in the water, yet our feet is covered in oil from the oil spill last week…

Going to the Beach!
It’s been forever since we packed up all the kids and headed to the beach. It’s been forever since we’ve had all the kids in the house at one time. We are throwing them in the van and heading out. Yay for family day trips. I swear, this better end up like one of those…

Detoxing…
I was looking up ‘detoxing’ the other day on the internet, because of something ‘Cita had said about metals in our body. For some reason it got me into looking into different types of detoxing and many of them include taking things that require you to have stomach cramps and poop all the time. As…

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.
