Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • photographs..and memories.

    I have no words today. Actually I have many, many words but they are all balled up like my daughter’s shoe laces and I cant figure out which string to start pulling on to get it all undone. I’m afraid to actually start to try then I might throw that shoe in frustration and have…

  • peeking into the dark corners of the internet

    One of the hard things about making sure your kids aren’t getting into trouble on the internet and watching what they do, is finding out stuff you don’t want to. Someone in UpperClass Heaven loves me, because my kids…as annoying as they get, are GOOD kids. As I am typing this I hear Kara and…

  • Boys Suck!

    The girls had a 7th/8th grade ‘Theme’ dance. As you might be able to see, it was 80’s themed. Shaun and I had more fun going to thrift stores looking for 80’s garb, then the girls had at the dance. Kara insisted that her hair was TOO big. Marina’s hair wasn’t big enough. Somehow by…

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.
