    “Hello, this is the school nurse and I need to know if you have her shot records because she is missing her last set.” “uuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhhhhh….yeah……Her next appointment is February 6th….you’re welcome. Yes, I will bring them in on February 6th.” Shea face is white as a ghost.  “mom. no!” “Yes, you have your next shots…

    I called Kaiser (our health care provider) today to find out about getting an appointment about my head.  Not the stuff in my head, but the stuff falling OUT of it. Since my divorce…or around that time…I started getting red patches on my head and it itched.  Then it wouldn’t. Then it would. Then it…

  • I’m Tivoing life right now so I can fast forward through the shitty parts.

    Note how the PAUSE button is in focus? Yeah. Pause. That’s a bad ass word. “I’m just Paused right now”. Pause is going to be the new IT word. Who knows what would happen if we all just paused for a moment to be quiet and enjoy the time of peace. Yeah, I know. Someone…

  • They called me a airhead in high school. Don’t know why.

    I lied.  I didn’t do it on purpose, because I’m not a purposeful liar, I’m just a ‘oh, oops, I know I should have done that, but I didn’t, even though I said I was going to, I suck.’ variety of liar.  Yes, I’m talking about Stuff Portrait Friday assignment.  I got lazy with all…

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.
