Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Seven lonely days and a dozen towns ago…

    Guess what time of the year it is? Yes, it’s my sister’s birthday. Last year I took a few days and a few pads of paper to come up with the perfect letter to my sister and there is NO way I could ever top it. Trust me, I reread it and I cried as…

    I wan’t you to remember what you learned a few weeks ago and use them this week. 1. Something Big 2. Something Small 3. Half of Something Remember, PERSPECTIVE. It may be small to you, but get on the floor and take the picture and see how big it looks. GET CREATIVE!! Think outside the…

    Like the dumb ass I am, I left my credit card in the ATM machine last night. by the grace of Uppercase God it was sucked back into the machine. Do I really need this kind of stress? I THINK NOT.

  • I wrote this whole post on ‘weight’ and realized I have a huge problem writing about weight.

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.
