Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • I labored. I cleaned my room.

    Everybody have a good weekend? This was our first self imposed ‘Family Weekend’. Shaun and I decided to make the kids stay home with us and hang out. Everything we did was as a family. By Friday night we were convinced that we had made a huge mistake. By the end of Sunday, we realized…

  • Happy Birthday, Random and Odd

    *sniffle* The end of this months marks 3 years that Random and Odd has been around.  So that’s like 6 in blog-years…right? I have a handful of readers that I have had from nearly the beginning.  Pissy, KimmyK and Shelli. There was a time when I wrote on a ‘list’ (like a forum…but different) and…

  • I don’t want them to ever grow up!

    Still being in my ‘funky disco’ groove from the concert, I was blaring “She’s A Bad Mama Jama“ on the way over to drop the girls off at Dan’s for Karate. Shea and Alyx both know the song and they are grooving right along with me, singing just as loud as I am. I’m reminded…

  • Do a little dance, make a little love…get down tonight!

    My Beautiful Friend, Lisa, SCORED US SOME SMOKIN’ HOT TICKETS!!! I grabbed Jeremiah today for an hour or two and when I brought him back over to her house she had a pair of tickets to a concert sitting on her catch-all. I kinda, sorta pulled them out from under her purse and FUH-REAKED when…

  • …and back at the house of Random and Odd

    Not a lot of great things happened to me in 5th grade. I had a teacher who was on the mean side and all my friends were in another class with the dorky teacher who had no idea how to teach and just scratched himself the whole time. 5th grade was the point where I…

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.
