Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • i am without words

    I..who. Um. *shaking head* I’m trying to figure out how to write this and believe it as I type it. Nikki is gone. Many of you know who i’m talking about. Nikki was Sarah’s partner. Last year Sarah died of cancer. Nikki began emailing me because Sarah use to read my blog and she wanted…

  • Stuff Portrait Friday – Pre Easter.

    My Peeps: Friends outside of the blog world Cita and I. She made me laugh so hard last night in the Jack in the Box drive thru that I cried. The guy at the window thought we were smoking the wacky. My old boss once said, “I’ve never heard you laugh. You always say, ‘that’s…

    Easter is around the corner and as usual, it snuck up on me. It’s okay though…Easter wasn’t my favorite holiday. Not because I don’t love all that goes with Easter…the bunnies, the symbolic meanings…and the baskets filled with CHOCOLATE! it’s because no matter how much I tell myself this will be the year that I…

  • There’s people and more people. What do they know know know?

    a cute, little house in Sacramento (not my house) When Shaun moved in we decided to shove all his boxes in the garage and go through them when we had more time. Time isn’t something we have a whole lot of…neither is space. This last weekend I cleaned my closet for the 4th time since…

    I swear I didn’t think we would make it past a month. I was wrong.

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.
