• I’m giggling so hard, I’m about to pee myself!

    I went over to an old friend’s house tonight while up in Redding recouping from Life. I promised I would only stay a few hours and come home. A few turned into about 5 and I got in WAY past my curfew. Mom and Kathy had already gone to bed and I’m KNOWING I’m going…

  • Thomas is out of the closet…

    SPF: A Rainbow. Shaun made this when I went out of town. He gets bored when I leave town to see my family. Kathy, the sister that gives the best guilt trips, has decided that I need to crawl out of my hole and come see her. My hair follicles tingle with the thought of…

  • I AM ACCOUNTABLE FOR MY OWN LIFE. Yep. Taking a new stance on stuff. This stuff that is going on in my life that I am battling with that I can’t talk about in this forum, is being handled with a new outlook. I AM ACCOUNTABLE. For everything. For the failures and the accomplishments. I…

  • I knew it would happen sooner than later.

    I’ve cracked. Seriously. I’m done. “God will never give you any more than you can handle” “Everything happens for a reason” BLAH BLAH BLAH — BLAH BLAH. I feel like slipping into a coma for the next few years so everything and everyone can figure out what the hell they are going to do. I…

  • See? i have fun, sometimes…

    Cita and I took the kids to the giant cement slides. In order to use the slides you need cardboard and wax paper. The wax paper make the cement and cardboard slick. The more you weigh…the faster you slide. I started in Roseville and ended up somewhere in Oregon. SPF: Rainbow (in this day and…

  • This summer has been crappy.  I haven’t really got to do anything with the kids. Not really traveled anywhere worth mentioning.  Haven’t taken many pictures outside of the kids, weddings and babies. *inserting finger into mouth doing the ‘gagging’ motion* I know the rules of blogging.

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.
