• Remind me to tell you about how I changed the spelling of my name in High School.

    *yawn* I’m so out of shape. I have been rotating ice and heat on my upper thighs to relieve the pain.  Sitting is great. Standing is fine. It’s the in between of each that makes me sound and feel like a 88 year old man. The first time I sat down to go pee my…

  • 4th attempt at this post…

    Yesterday while laying in bed with a heating pad on my legs I wrote and wrote and wrote.  I then deleted, deleted, deleted. Each post was worthy of posting, but I can’t seem to express my gratitude for the birthday you gave me with words.  I decided that perhaps I should try it with interpretive…

  • Shaun here. So you’re 35 years old. When you factor in five kids, two dogs, me, and the ex and the baby in the house, you’re medically about 117 years old. Which means you’re doing damn good for your age! Everyone here loves you, and if they say otherwise I’ll either delete or edit their…

  • SPF: TWO…& Happy Birthday Kara

    I had many ideas for “Two”. 1. I could have posted a picture of Jeremiah and I who are the two people in the house that have ear infections. 2. I could have posted the picture of the two huge ass pills I had to take to get rid of the sinus infection I have….

  • Define moron.

    Like my doctor and I haven’t been spending enough time together. I had to call him and make yet another appointment this morning. Shaun insisted. Yesterday I popped my ears because the ringing in them was making me batty.  When I did I must have dislodged something I shoved in my ear when I was…

  • hello lungs, it’s me…Kristine

    I decided after watching a lot of the late night infomercials that after 35 things need to be taken note of. Like, “You shouldn’t take … if you’re 35 and smoke.” “If you’re 35 and smoke, please consult your doctor.” “You can NOT take this if you’re 35 and still smoking like a house 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.
