• Conversations @ the Random and Odd House

    “Kristine.” “Yep.” [Big Eyes — I’m in trouble] “Kristine…how many containers of product would you guess are in the shower?” [covering my eyes — I’m in trouble] “Just guess. How many bottles of WHATEVER in there; shampoo, conditioner, soaps. How many would you guess?” [peeking out from hands] “THIRTY FIVE! There are THIRTY FIVE BOTTLES…

  • Not dead. Exhausted.

    It’s been awhile since the update on Random and Odd. The kids are doing FanFrigginTabulous. They are loving school this year. High school is suiting the older girls and the younger girls are falling into their middle school grooves. Shaun started softball tonight and that means his energy level will go up. He’s happier when…

  • Catching the bandwagon!

    Anyone else already jump on the Widget wagon? I just found them. Any suggestions on which ones are cool and which ones are the waste of time?

  • Taking Name Suggestions…

    Yesterday was the busiest day of my life. I spent hours driving back and forth from one place to another. Not any place in particular. Just here. Then there. Then back here. At 7pm I pulled up in front of my house and forgot that I was at the wrong house. As you can see…

  • Pen Pal…

    Recently Alyx hooked herself up with a nifty, little pen pal and has been over the top with writing and buying stuff for her letters. Shea is butthurt that she doesn’t have a pen pal. Anyone have a little girl that wants to send letters and girlie stuff back and forth?

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.
