Ambivalence
I knew this was my word for the day, but I had other things I had to do. Today is Dans, my ex-husband, birthday. Last night I couldn’t sleep to save my life. I had thoughts going through my head that made absolutely NO SENSE what so ever. I had taken a Xanax earlier. Then…

Aggression
Ha! Finally a word I don’t have to investigate and find the root of. I GET this word. Let’s see. There is the pent up aggression. The outward aggression. There is road-rage aggression. I’m sure there is a lot more different types of aggression that I harbor, but those are the three that come to…

Affection
I’m pretty sure there hasn’t been a time when your comments have meant more to me. To see yourselves reflected back at me, makes me feel so much less alone on this journey. My word came up today and I admit, I kicked it around for awhile. I looked it up and then almost thought…

Acceptance
Whenever I get lost on a certain word, I go to Wikipedia to read up on it. Sometimes I get lost in the definitions of words that turns into a path of links and I forget where I started. This happened tonight. I found a list of ’emotions’ and all the words jumped out at…

Lookin’ for LOVE
As you can see, I’m moving things around here. Getting suggestions from readers is helping. I tried to find a layout that looks the same in Firefox and in Windows Explorer. How did I do? I’m also moving things around in my life. First the scissors, next the cupboards and who knows what is next…

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.
