• spf from a woman with the stomach flu

    Last week, I decided I needed to lose my mind and give away my bedroom furniture. This week was going to be spent doing all the fun shopping that people do when they decide to change a room. Seeing that we were wondering if the neighbors would notice if we stole their dog food, buying…

  • Monday Morning…not this Monday, NEXT Monday

    Kara finally got her thumbs up for her oral surgery. They are ready to slice open her gums and retrieve the tooth now that the braces have given it space to come down. Sounds wonderful huh? I’m so excited for her to finally be able to feel ‘normal’. My sister said she doesn’t want Kara…

  • Understanding Dr. Lousy

    Someone once told me, “I had no money in my pocket and I stressed and stressed about it. I couldn’t sleep. I paced until I finally was tired enough to sleep. When I woke up the next morning I reached into my pocket and guess what I found? Nothing. All the stressing, pacing and sleepless…

  • Hunting Wabbits

    How the hell has the two fingers behind the head lasted for so many years? I didn’t get the humor of it until today.

  • I’VE GOT IT!

    Last night in an attempt to decompress I ran myself a nice hot bath and lit some candles. I grabbed my notebook and pen and headphones. I was going to sit in that tub until I pruned my worries away. As I was pulling all of the supplies needed together for this perfect bath time…

  • Sorry SPF: Here is your assignment…

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.
