• My Promise, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Most of the pictures are in from the race and this one was my favorite. Victoria kept asking, “how far until we hit the water?” She is a very strong swimmer and just wanted to cool down before the last stretch. Her mother said she was going…

  • RWRS in our very first official run together!

    This was an amazing day! The whole Runs With Scissors team kicked mud ass. I am proud of each of them. This was Craig, Mara, Victoria, Dana and Katie’s first race they have ran. My girls had fun too. I beat my time from last year by a whole minute.  Seeing that I wasn’t going…

  • insomnia…SUCKS ASS

    Yosemite 2012, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. I work nights, which is great because it doesn’t matter how many hours I put into falling asleep at a normal hour, I wake up. I can go to sleep at 10pm and only sleep for 20 minutes then wake up wide awake and not be able…

  • Road Trip!

    Yosemite 2012, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Victoria and her friend, Katie asked if I wanted to go on a road trip with them to Yosemite. I took them up on it and I am SO glad I did! The last time I was there was in 2009 and the waterfalls were bursting over…

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.
