• *yawn…*

    I am TORE UP! I got up early yesterday with a ‘go gettem’ attitude! My sister has grabbed hold of my shoulders and began pulling my head of out my ass. It was bit painful at first, but once she got my ears out and I could hear, “IT WILL MAKE YOUR LIFE EASIER IF…

  • Our Glue is Gone..

    Last Thursday we handed over one of our children to my friend, Ruka.  It’s not for long term, just like 11 days.  It hasn’t even been a whole week and I’m missing my Kara so much it hurts. It’s the ‘miss you so much, it hurts’ kinda hurt. She’s been calling me every day telling…

  • I could pee myself!

    On my Flickr site I have over 5000 pictures. I have almost a hundred thousand individual views. I’m really proud of this. REALLY proud of this. Some naysayers can be saying, “Whoopdy-do, she takes lots of pictures and people go look at them.” To me, it means to me that you like me. Or you’re…

  • SPF: The Title Company

    Title of a Song: One Bourbon, One Scotch. One Beer. Title of A Movie: Peggy Sue Got Married – or in this case Nancy Lou…I think she probably had 2 kids by the time this picture was taken. Title of a Book: The Feminine Mystique – Just seems to me, she overcame it. I love…

  • SPF: The Title Company

    This week we are mixing it up a little bit. I’m giving you titles and you take a picture that goes with it. I know you’re all going to need me to walk you through this, so PAY ATTENTION, read my examples. Hey, you in the back…you’re not reading, you’re skimming…don’t make me pull out…

  • Hope’s Kitchen

    Ingredients: 1 teenager willing to allow people to drag her from place to place from 4pm to 9pm. 1 creepy cemetery during an almost full moon. 1 light reader from Shaun’s camera shooting up from the ground. 1 brown blanket from the back of the car.

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.
