• First High School Dance

    Getting along before the dance, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Marina and Kara get along SO great before dances. By the end of the dance they are bickering and fighting. *sigh* And Kara had a crappy time at the dance because of a boy flirting with her ALL the time BEFORE the dance, and…

  • Cosmic Conscious

    My Old Friend, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Last week I made a phone call to the parents of my best friend from High School. I caught up on the stuff I have missed in the last 5 years or so since I had talked to them. At the end of the conversation I…

  • arrrrgggg….

    Twenty Four hours after taking the ‘Mack Daddy’ of all sleeping pills. I have finally recovered from the side effects. The first hour or so was a blast. I felt like I was walkin’ on sunshine. Not a problem…until hour two. I began getting violently ill and unable to eat. I would drink a sip…

  • Wha’sup Doc?

    Guess what? NO. MORE. DR. LOUSY! Now, I have a doctor that listened and even though he never had a ‘Panic Attack’, he admitted it and expressed that he couldn’t FULLY understand what I and many of his patients have, but he was sympathetic and has done a lot of research. He checked out my…

  • Sleep Update

    Sleeping so far has been a joke. I am awake at 5 am watching “High School Musical 2” and not sleeping. I’m sleeping until 4 or 5 in the afternoon. It’s frustrating. The other morning/afternoon, Shaun was trying to wake me up to tell me we had to go to the bank. I had been…

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.
