Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • This weekend I got to see Lindsey Stirling in concert. Holy shitballs is that woman one talented creature! I heard of her through a hockey friend about 4 years ago and became an instant fan.  She has this fluid way of playing and moving that is magical to watch.  In person, it was one of…

  • We stick together and can see it through cause you’ve got a friend in me.

      It’s been a week and a half and it’s still hard to write about. Last Tuesday I was suppose to go to my weekly mBFF friend dinner, but he couldn’t get back to Sacramento in time and we decided to put it off until next week.  This is the part where everything got weird….

  • Trying to fit your hand inside of mine when we know it just don’t belong

    People come into your life for a reason and I keep wondering why my past came to visit me in the second half of my life and I keep getting gentle reminders. This weekend I met this young kid who was hanging out at the trash bin at my apartment complex. I struck up a…

  • Cry me a river…

      I went to Redding this weekend and my sister and I had couple of nice hikes. We went to some waterfalls up in Mt. Shasta and then made our way over to a lake to walk off our lunch. We came across this bridge that a bunch of kids were jumping off of. There…

  • It’s a Family Tradition!

      Had dinner with the bestest of friends. It had been about 13 years since we all hung out and my beautiful friend, Lisa was more than thrilled to have both of ‘her boys’ at dinner.   We made our way over to the Tree and it was so weird to see the changes they…

  • Life goes on…

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.
