    DSC_8667, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. We are nearing the actual birthday day and I’m happy, but kind of sad because I miss Kara. For the last 19 years I have given up my birthday so Kara could have a good one. My ex friend Nancy threw me a wonderful 30th birthday party where…

  • Welcome to my birthday month!!!

    Yes, I am that obnoxious about March. March is the best month of all the other months. If you’re born in March, good for you…if you’re an Aries, you’re even better than all the other March babies.  If you happen to be born on March 23rd or 24th your level of awesome is off the…

    http://barefoottrailrunning.blogspot.com/2012/02/kristine-1-k2-1-54-miles-total.html I did my first hike in the canyons BY. MYSELF!  It was a bit freaky, but I did pretty good.  No snakes, no bears and no mountain lions.  Did run into an ultra runner prepping for the Way to Cool run.  Badassmotherfucker he was.  He was probably in his late 60’s.

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.
