• Planning for the year…

      Trying to get everything in order for the upcoming year. Lots of running. Lots of hiking and photo walks. No plans for Disneyland though. :( We are trying to get Kara here for March for a wedding I’m shooting in Oregon. :)   That’s about it.

  •     I’m a book person.  The concept of the Nook or Kindle is so awesome, but I am also one of those hold it in my hands and smell it kind of people.  I don’t want it to run out of batteries either because I am not one of those that will pick up…

  • Later 2014

    I am SO happy to be letting 2014 go.  It wasn’t the best year, but it wasn’t 2009 either. Things need to be rearranged in my life and I need to figure out the best way to do that.   More time reading and less time Candy Crushing. Okay, it’s impossible to write anything because…

  • So many times…

                I have sat down early in the morning to write something for my blog and I just get distracted with everything else I need to do, or get sucked into a discussion on a photography group.  There are times when I am driving into work and I think, ‘Oh,…

  • What will be the death of me? An indecisive blonde!

        I keep sitting down to write something and I end up finding something else that needs to be done. Like this morning I sat down with my coffee with intentions of writing something I have had on my mind and I remembered this stupid dream I had about my daughter and I needed…

  • Oblivious…

    I am so blind. Again, my world just spun out of my control. I look at my life and how hard I have tried to just be that person that has it all together and everything looks like it is where it should be. At what point to do I just say, “That isn’t the…

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.
