absolute potato
No time to write this morning, but didn’t want to break my streak. Friday I went shopping and got the cookie ingredients. Saturday I spent the afternoon with my friends for Robert’s birthday. I brought the first batch of cookies that I thought was absolute crap, but everyone was raving about them. Was pleasantly surprised…

We can’t make any promises now can we, babe? But you can make me a drink…
Finally Friday! I woke up at 5am with a headache that I am blaming on the one beer I drank last night at dinner. Yes, one beer. I usually drink stout, but last night I had an ale. Ales are not as good as stouts, especially this time of year. I’m not a beer drinker,…

I swore to keep writing, but this morning I woke up at 5am and thought that cleaning my apartment would be a good idea. Last weekend I was with my sister out of town, I am going out tonight, this weekend I have a birthday party. Finding pockets of time that I am motivated to…

Vulnerability without boundaries is just disclosure.
“Vulnerability is not oversharing, it’s not purging, it’s not indiscriminate disclosure, and it’s not celebrity-style social media information dumps. Vulnerability is about sharing our feelings and our experiences with people who have earned the right to hear them. Being vulnerable and open is mutual and an integral part of the trust-building process…. Vulnerability without boundaries…

Might not have, but did not lose
Tomorrow is one year since my mom died. It’s been one hell of year. Okay, I had wanted to write something really good today because I knew I wouldn’t be writing on the one year anniversary, but i’m going to be honest. I went out last night for a few hours to hang out with…

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.
