Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Easier Said Than Done

    I’m watching the Today show and they are talking about ‘how moms can do it all’ and ‘how to stay balanced’. This woman, who CLEARLY isn’t a parent, is talking about how to incorporate your children into the things that make you relax. Do you see the oxymoron in that sentence? She’s spewing this hateful…

  • The Concert, revisited.

    I mentioned that I has taken the girls to a Jonas Brother concert and implied that it was HELL. I would like to retract that statement. The concert was actually VERY good, awesome in fact. Better than some concerts I have paid a lot of money to see. They are clearly very talented kids that…

  • Emails from the Inbox…

    Not that I get stacks of emails, but I realize I haven’t updated in awhile and figured I would answer a few emails through a post. Because yes, I am THAT lazy. How you doing? I’m doing pretty good. I’m weening off the Xanax and trying to figure out how to get through the anxiety…

  • Concert from HELL…but I won’t go into it.

    The kids went to The Jonas Brothers concert. If you know who the Jonas Brothers are, you are as pathetic as I am. They actually were VERY good. I was impressed. And THANK YOU ALL for helping donate for the MS walk on AnnegeLynnAsIs page. She not only reached her donation, she exceeded it!

  • SPF: Knobbin’ It

    These are the knobs off a file cabinet that my grandma kept all her crocheting patterns and magazines in. When I was a kid I loved to open the right side. It took me years to figure out how to open the other door. There is a latch on the top of the left hand…

  • The guilt from the dream is killing me!!

    Hi Honey, I love you!! *tackle hug* I love you, love you, LOVE YOU!! You are the most amazing and wonderful man ever. *kissing your eyebrows* You are sweet, kind, funny and humble! I promise to love you for the rest of my life *nuzzling your neck* I promise to never, ever, go to the…

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.
