• typical trip to redding. *rolling eyes*

    Sometimes when I fill up my gas tank I get adventurous.  I calculate how far I could go and where I would end up. This happened on Friday. On Thursday I stayed the night at Lester’s house because I didn’t have the girls and figured I would lounge on his couch and watch glorious television…

  • Packing for the weekend…

    I am getting my clothes ready for this weekend and all of it is running or biking clothes. Saturday we are going biking. Sunday I am leading a group of people on a trail run. I’m eager to be able to start packing some rock climbing clothes! :)

  • sick of rain already!

    it rained last night., originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Day two of rain and i’m totally over it. I’ve taken showers with less pressure than this! The drops are big enough to cause bruising. I can hear Lester saying, “mmmm, rain makes mud.” and I wonder what bicycling adventure he’s going to bring me…

  • Alyx is next up!

    DSC_0346, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Kara took her Dad’s camera when she moved to Virginia and left her D50 that has been acting strangely for about a year or more. I took it in and had someone look at it and got it working again. Now Alyx is using her camera and I…

  • wow.

    converting from raw to jpg really takes away from the quality of the pictures…and then when you upload it to flickr, it just rapes it. …wow.

  • I was watching HGTV awhile ago and they had this woman who had a box of pictures of what she wanted when it came to the design of her home.  Ideas she had seen in the years leading up to the day when she would be able to create her home. The designers were annoyed…

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.
