Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • …

    I don’t watch any of the reality shows like Bachelor or Bachelorette, Real Housewives, Mob Wives… unless Tabitha is over lounging around after a run. Yesterday we got sucked into Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I got sucked in because I had been cleaning most of the morning and I needed a break and it…

    “and I was like, KA-POW!”, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. This weekend I got to take Birdie and Mara out on a hike. WELL, I got to take them out on a half hike, because shortly after this picture was taken where we were all laughing and joking, Tabitha sprinted up a hill and…

    my two men., originally uploaded by Random and Odd. I had a fantastic hike yesterday with Lester and his son. It was another hike I was getting time on my Vibrams. It might not have been the best idea to wear them on a trail I know was too rocky, but I thought I was…

  • Letter from Birmingham Jail….

    It is my that time of year that I start reading my favorite piece of writing I have ever read. Every year I sit down and dedicate an hour or two to really reading it and this year as I read it, I am in a different place than I have ever been while reading…

    Happy he made it the 5 miles down!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Lester finally got to see one of my favorite trails today. This is the ten miler that can break your spirit if you’re not ready for it. It’s 1200 feet of elevation loss and gain…and his spirit was nicely intact by…

    I am heartbroken. RIP Robert and Linda. Thank you for all your words, emails and encouragement this last year. You were an amazing couple with thousands of people who have nothing but nice things to say about you and all that you did for them.

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.
