• Still Alive…

    My mom use to always say, “When it rains, it pours.”  Boy, she was NOT kidding. I’m doing my best to stay afloat and be the strong person I have been told I am. Right before I woke up from one of the thousands of nightmares that haunt my dreams I heard my mom say,…

  • Broken Stuff Portrait Friday What’s up everyone, Shaun here.  It’s been a crazy CRAZY week at the Random and Odd household, so unfortunately there’s no crazy pics from Kristine this week….and you’ve got me hosting.  Kristine’s huddled in the corner of our closet in the fetal position, babbling something about her laptop being sent back…

    Tree is up. Stockings are up. SOME presents under the tree. Home decorated. It’s getting there. Wish I could give you more, but I am physically and emotionally drained. Is this what people talk about when they say, ‘Holiday Depression’???? UP THE XANAX!

  • Christmas Wishes…

    Yes, things are crazy here.  I want some stuff though. 1. I want to get my Christmas tree. 2. I want to decorate my house. 3. I want to put some presents under my tree. 4. I want to drive around the crazy decorated houses and say, ‘oooh, ahhh! look at that one!!’. I want…

    There is NO SPF this week, but we will make up for it NEXT week, m’kay? I know there really is NO way you can believe everything that happened today alone. 1. The most important; Jeremiah kissed me. Yes, I got my first kiss and he reached for ME. My heart has been melted and…

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.
