• My Fellow Americans…

    Shaun here, blognapping for a minute. The president getting in the way of my show pushed me into action. As the first ever president elected from the Random and Odd party, I’d like to outline my top ten goals for this term: 1. Every American will get one ‘Ousted Idol’ day off work per Fox…

  • You know what Tuesday was, right?

    Tuesday use to be the day I would watch American Idol. I’m not going to watch American Idol anymore. I don’t care if Chris might sign with this band or that band. I don’t care that he’s going to make more money than all the other American Idols before him. I DON’T CARE. I’m pissed….

    Today is Shea’s 8th birthday. Yep. My youngest child is eight years old. Shea’s birthday always puts me in this weird mood. It reminds me of her first birthday and how my marriage was coming to an end. “Shea turns eight. My marriage ended 7 years ago.” It’s a crappy thing to remember on your…

  • is it June yet?

    My mom didn’t answer the phone all day! I tried calling that butthead 4 times today and she DID NOT PICK UP HER PHONE! It was a ‘I want my mommy’ day today too. I thought we had all our ducks in a row all week long so we would have a great Mother’s Day…

  • Unheard of!

    May has SUCKED for me. I’ll be glad when this month is over! In a couple of weeks I will go into the whole story of how truly bad his month sucked, but for now…trust me. SUCKED. This morning a cop came knocking at my door because ‘The Pricks’ (the neighbors from hell) called because…

  • Something you have two of: That isn’t the same camera. Shaun and I have talked to a lot of people about how to have 5 kids and one income. Our friends and family encouraged us to do what we love and what we were good at. We both worked when we first got together and…

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.
