• MySpace..oh the things you read.

    My daughter, Alyx has a MySpace page. I keep a VERY close eye on her and what she puts up and who is on her list.  She usually only goes on it to read emails from her pen pal. Today she posted a bulletin. It’s the ‘First Reaction’ bulletin and what she does is reads…

  • Prayers and Prayers…please.

    Dennis leaves for Iraq today. Please pray for his safety. Please pray for his family and friends as this a rough time as we all find our footing. I’m going to make an appointment with a doctor today. I called this week to ask about not feeling good and they gave me instructions on what…

  • Apathy

    It always seems like I fall upon a wishy-washy word when I have something to say. October is a weird month for me. By the end of October I feel like they year should be done and I get to start all over with a clean slate. I know as Halloween comes and goes that…

  • Anger

    It feels awkward writing a post about “Anger” when I had a wonderful weekend and the birth of our newest addition. In order to stay true to going through all the words on the emotion list, I have to keep going. I’m in a study to help people learn more about MS. I don’t have…

  • It’s 4:43 am. I haven’t fallen asleep yet.

    Yes, you read that right…4:43 AM as in “Rise and Shine!” AM. That’s really not the worst part. I have the theme to, The Greatest American Hero, caught in my head. Seriously? Isn’t it enough that I can’t sleep? Why in the world would I be cursed by knowing WORD FOR WORD the theme song…

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.
