• I think I might be pissed off, but I haven’t decided yet…

    Sundial Bridge- Redding, California May 2006 I need a change. You know what I mean? I feel like I need someone to hook me up to the battery on the car and just give me a jolt of shock. I need to be able to yell, “WHOOO HOOOO!” I need to dance again. Right now,…

    Shaun and I keep looking at each other and shaking our heads with this look of, “Was sex really worth all these kids?” On Friday my heart broke. It was mended with sister/mom/shaun love and some good hair bleach on Saturday. On Sunday my heart rested. On Monday my heart is angry. ONE TIME. I…

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.
