ok. not good. probably bad.

  • the chitchren are home fer summer.

    Ah-Gezzus. I’m even getting bored of my Blog. How come you all come over here?? *waving a walking stick* I swear I feel like I am 80 years old right now. Actually, I wouldn’t know what it feels like to be 80, but Dear UPPERCASE GOD, please let it not feel like this. So we…

  • SPF: this is how we ‘bounce’

    Kara and Marina graduated from 8th grade today and now are officially ‘High School Students’. I had taken out a picture of Kara when she graduated from Pre-school and I was going to post them side by side so you could see how much she has grown and tell you the whole story of a…

  • Alyx calls him Dr. Lousy.

    A part of my treatment plan is not only taking the classes to learn how to beat anxiety, it involves talking to the therapist. (Thank you SNL for making it nearly impossible to say, read or write that word without thinking — The Rapist) The rapist I am seeing is also the guy that teaches…

  • SPF ASSIGNMENT: Bounce

    See, I bounce. I’m smiling again. I’m making jokes again. I cracked up at THIS CLIP of Sarah Silverman owning Paris Hilton at the MTV movie awards (or something) I don’t know what is more funny, the way Paris Hilton gets ALL pissed or how Jack Nicholson thinks it’s the funniest thing he has ever…

  • I’m doing better

    Mike Bibby, Alyx and Shea I’m doing better. Thank you for the cyber hugs, strong words and inspiration. My ex-boyfriend, a wonderful human being, went to the funeral and emailed me all about it. When I found out he went it lifted a huge weight off of me and I knew that he went, representing…

  • My Brush With A Great Human Being…

    I’ve seen fire and I’ve seen rain. I’ve seen sunny days that I thought would never end. I’ve seen lonely times when I could not find a friend, but I always thought that I’d see you again. -James Taylor SPF had to be twisted for me this Friday. I talked to my mother tonight and…

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.
