• Congrats Anthony!! SPF INSPIRED

    Anthony won on Shear Genius (Bravo) tonight. Kathy, Mom and I met him about 7 or 8 years ago in Reno at a hair show. He was a ‘Platform’ artist that was put on by Nova haircare. We sat in the front row and we were drawn to him. After the show Kathy and I…

  • So sorry…

    I could go back to my last post and fix about 35 of my spelling errors and sentence fragments, but you know what? Screw it. I wrote that from the heart. With my head phones on listening to music. With all the realness I had in me. The real me, sucks at spelling: sentence structure:…

  • really?

    I was interviewed last night about this blog. It was the standard question of what blogging means to me, how I come up with topics…your general, not very probing questions. After I sent off the answers I began to think again about this ‘blog’ I have. What it really means. This isn’t the root of…

  • Guess who came to visit?

    Hope everyone had a long, restful weekend. We did. Well. Sort of. I haven’t quite figured out how come you can clean your closet to OCD perfection and then a week later you find yourself in the closet wondering how it looks like a bomb went off in there. The 16 year old rack in…

  • SPF: “LITTLE AND PINK”

    This picture was taken 2 years ago. Look at how little she is! Her face has totally changed in the last two years. Her face is longer and not as round. You all thought I was going to post another baby picture huh? Well, I did…sort of. My baby. DID YOU PLAY?

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.
