• Darlin’ for so long…you and me been findin’ each other for so long…

    Just found a bunch of videos going all the way back to Christmas. Alyx has been taking video for Kara since she left and she uploads it so Kara will feel like she’s still here and not missing anything. There is every moment of us opening presents this year, the trip to Shingletown with Paw-Paw,…

  • The way I see it…

    I went to go see 5 Year Engagement with Jason Segal and the way I see it, he owes me that money back. In 2003, My boyfriend at the time and I went to watch Ben Affleck in Daredevil and it was so bad that my boyfriend broke up with me.  Well, that’s not exactly…

  • My trails are good listeners

    My trails are good listeners, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. I found this video on my trail runner page. It’s only been a year, but I have learned all these lessons in a quick time. It’s a good reminder, especially after a rough weekend of running and a rough couple of weekends coming up.

  • Build Anyway…

    she’s mighty mighty, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Things don’t always work out the way you want them to. No matter what you do to build and hope that everything is strong enough to weather the storm…you just don’t know what little thing is going to bring it crashing down. Today, I don’t feel…

  • decoder ring set to stun.

    I get these cryptic emails from Tabitha ever so often.  I pull out my Secret Decoder ring and try to figure out what she’s saying.  Today I get one with finishing times for a race.  I am pretty sure she’s saying, “step up the game, we need to do it in an hour.” because yesterday we ran…

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.
