• Oh hell no, it’s going to be different this year!

    Last year I was all, “OMG, I can’t believe I miss my kids…it’s the first day of school and it’s too quiet….” If today has been an example of the stuff I won’t have to deal with during the day, I WILL dance that jig after I drop them off and the house is just…

  • Glue’s Back…it’s loud again.

    Shaun and I shot a wedding last night.  1,289 pictures were taken and I think we will probably use 200 of them.  I honestly do not understand how people shoot film. Kara called as we were on our way home and she was about 3 hours away.  She was trying to talk loud over the…

  • in with the old?

    I cleaned my room yesterday and I found about 13000000 cds that I didn’t have the heart to toss. I went through all of them and each reminded me a of a phase I went through that I didn’t want to let go of. I didn’t really want to listen to them, but didn’t want…

  • SERIOUS

    I got a call from Kara this morning. She was in tears, bawling.  She has a toothache that is killing her.  She is in Moab, Utah and my friend is going to be leaving tomorrow morning to come home. Please…pray that she’s comfortable and that the toothache somehow, some way goes away enough to where…

  • Stuff Portrait Friday — ugh.

    My Mailbox:  it’s hard to find, but it’s there. My Bag:  I have this cool brown bag i’m all into, but the dog was cracking me up, she wanted to come in the bedroom and when I shut the door, she headbutts it until it opens…but she doesn’t come in. My Supplies:  I put 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.
