Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Attraversiamo

    I hate admitting this, because it’s so housewifey and self-helpish. I was watching Oprah the other day (that’s the part, I hate to admit…carry on.) She was interviewing the writer of the book she was showcasing that month. Her name is Elizabeth Gilbert (which I was grateful for because it was an easy name for…

  • first things first. the scissors.

    Thursday Dan came over to bring me a coffee. I got up with a mission. I was going to find ALL the scissors in the house. As he is rambling on about something about work, I was roaming the rooms and looking for sharp edges. “So I told Andrew that…” he would start. “AH-HA! ANOTHER…

  • need some of something.

    You know those days or nights when you feel a stirring inside of you begging to be recognized? Through my short years on this earth, I have had many of those. In fact, at times, it feels like my whole life is a stirring. “If I could just do this, it would make my life…

  • Happy Birthday SmoochDog!

    Today is Michelle’s birthday, so head on over and give her some birthday lovin! (Someone hired a stripper…shhhh) ‘Cita took me to a King’s preseason game and we had a blast. Tina called as we were at the game to see if we wanted her tickets. Her tickets were like spitting distance from the floor…

  • It’s Fall, right?

    It’s is going to rain everyday this week, except the ONE day we are shooting the “Fall Carnival” at the little girls school. We have been shooting random things lately. A lot of senior portraits and a band shoot. It’s time to get everyone in for the ‘family portraits’ for Christmas. Alright, I need money….

  • New Rules

    Here it is: Plan NOTHING to do on the day of Homecoming or any proms until 2016. If you do anything other than drive around all day, catering to your children’s needs —> you will spend the next day in bed with a headache that feels like you have partied with the Captain and did…

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.
