• She made me laugh. Not a lot of people can do that.

    The IT guy shares an office with our office manager and the HR lady, so when I ran in to his office and said, “Betty is down! she’s sick! there is something wrong with her, QUICK! come back and look at her!!” the HR lady thought that Betty was an employee. “What’s wrong?”  She looked…

    I know we’ve only known each other four weeks and three days, but to me it seems like nine weeks and five days. The first day seemed like a week and the second day seemed like five days. And the third day seemed like a week again and the fourth day seemed like eight days….

    I did it…again!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. August 13th 2011 Kathy had told me after a mighty fine buzz around new year that she wanted to climb Mt. Lassen. It was on her bucket list. So back in January I began hiking to prepare for that climb. When I was 13 and again…

  • being a passenger…it’s all in the hips.

    I went on a motorcycle ride after work last night. I was told that I would need to change from my shorts and into a pair of jeans, for safety.  I was looking for a shirt to wear and I was told, ‘You have that little tank top with the spaghetti straps.’    Just because I…

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.
