ok. not good. probably bad.

  • 24 days 20 hours & 48 minutes….

    So in 25 days I’m going to be…[choke]…getting married. again. As you can see, i’m not the cutsie-wootsy blushing bride. I thought as It got closer I would get more excited. I thought as the months turned into ‘days’ that I would get a little spring in my step and my heart would skip a…

  • I gotta finda new place where the kids are hip

    Rocklin Skate Park It’s the first ‘official’ day of Summer for me. Thursday was their last day of school and Friday I didn’t see them because they were gone. TODAY is the first official, laying down the law, chores will be done, RULES WILL BE FOLLOWED, summer. It’s 29 minutes into the day and only…

  • SPF: ap·er·ture

    A wide open space I picked this picture for ‘wide open space’ because everytime I hear that song, I think of Shingletown, California where I grew up. This is Kara when she was about 3 or 4 years old. It was taken on the road I grew up on. Brightness This is a shameless way…

  • I hope you’re not waiting for me to come up with something good to write about…

    In exactly TWENTY MINUTES summer in the Stone-Baland household starts. Today marks exactly 30 days until I get married. It also marks the 45th time I have started a diet since getting engaged. It also marks the first day of the diet that will SOMEHOW shave off this extra ohhhhhhhh 80 lbs I need to…

  • The Stolen Sidekick

    If you haven’t read this story, remember…you heard it here FIRST. The Stolen Sidekick (complete with pictures!!) Shaun and I got a good laugh out of it.

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.
