• Journey into 2012

    Hike 1, originally uploaded by Random and Odd.   I have been a little freaked out over 2012. Since 2011 was such an amazing year for me, I’m afraid that 2012 won’t even compare. Every time I get a little freaked out about it, I remember that 2011 didn’t make itself good, I made it…

  • The one where I write…

    I put a lot of time and thought into the video and what I wanted it to display.  This is a little less of what my year was, but more of what I learned from it and what I want to do in 2012. What I learned: Hiking/Trail running: 1. A peanut butter and jelly sandwich…

  • I am composed of 85% awesome…and 15% crippling self doubt.

    ugly as sin., originally uploaded by Random and Odd. In January of 2011 I bought my first pair of shoes. They were Merrell hiking shoes. Within the first few hikes I began to run. I knew that I shouldn’t be running in these shoes because they didn’t have the support system I would need. I…

    I’m a winner., originally uploaded by Random and Odd. I just can’t believe its December. This is the first year in all the years I can remember that I am truly bummed that it’s over. I had high hopes for 2010, but I was still working out all the bullshit from 2009 to fully grasp…

  • Thank you for giving. I’ll take real good care of it.

    Maui 2011, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. Everyone is doing the “I’m Thankful for…” the whole month of November until Thanksgiving on Facebook again this year. I have done a few, but they were always the funny things that get overlooked, like Qtips. Last year on my blog I pointed out the small things…

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.
