• My Chemical No-So Romance

    After I had Shea, I went through some hard core depression. The doctors decided to put me on anti-depressants in hopes of clearing up the problem.  I took the prescription for a week before every single side effect listed hit me all at once. I went back to the doctor and after being poked and…

  • SPF: oh sheet!

    I went to the doctor (insert angels singing) yesterday and he started me on a new prescription of some stuff that made me pass the hell out at 8pm last night and wake up at 6:30….SMILING. I’ll tell you more about this later. Shaun had taken the kids with Halo up the park and I…

  • Kristine said some people wanted my review of ‘Snakes On A Plane’, so here ya go. First, let me say that this might be the greatest idea for a movie EVER. Certainly one of the best titles (personal favorite title ever is “Something Wicked This Way Comes”, but that’s another post). The internet hype for…

  • How many of you have laptops?

    I’m just wondering. I’m laptopping/surfing from a coffee shop by my house while I wait to pick up the second child and I am wondering how in the world I did this whole internet thing before the laptop.  I mean, when i’m at home, I loves me my computer that sits by my bed…but WHO…

  • Kristine’s Movie/Book review. Not as good as Shaun’s, but as informative.

    About 5 years ago I was on vacation and I bought a silly girl book.  The guy I was with grabbed Dave Barry’s Guide to Guys. During the trip while I was driving the first leg of the trip he sat in the seat next to me cracking up as he was reading. I kept…

  • *dancing the jig*

    This morning was painless.  Oh Dear God in heaven THANK YOU. Can you hear that? It’s called ‘sweet sweet silence’.  I can actually hear the dog in the kitchen licking the tile.  I can hear the silent hum of my computer. I can hear the Starbucks coffee as it hits my stomach. Things I can…

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.
