Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • The wedding was set for 10 am, July 8th 2006.  I was actually ON TIME.  It’s a first in Kristine history.  I have been told that I will be late for my own funeral, so the fact that I was on time just tells me, this isn’t the end for me. We woke up the…

  • …honeymoon’s over!

    I wrote the post, but then the sleeping pills kicked in and I had to stop. Now I have to rewrite it because I realize I shouldn’t post while under the influence of Excedrin PM. We got the professional pictures and now there are 210 pictures up on Flickr. Shaun goes back to work tomorrow,…

    My Love: I bet’cha all thought you were going to see a picture of Shaun.  Yeah, you all know I love him. I’m going to say “I Do” to him. I love my family and the leader of our family is my Mom, the Fonz. That’s it…..you’re only getting 1/3 of the SPF assignment this…

  • America, HE HAS TALENT!

    Shaun stayed home tonight while I got my pre-wedding pedicure (Thank you, ‘Cita) and then spent the last hours of the night finishing up the wedding favors.

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.
