Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • The one in which I admit that I need a vacation.

    Need is a strong word, but really want…as in want to badly my daughter’s hair is falling out and my eyes well up with tears when I think about being anywhere that involves a painful trip to an airport where I will gladly put my bag in the overhead and slam my hip bone into…

    We freaking MADE IT!!!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. I wish I could bottle this happiness. The first part of the week was a little rough for me. By Thursday it was all better again. Tabitha, Marina, Kara and I hit the trail after work and it cleared a lot of the bullshit I…

  • “I think I need to believe that it works. Love. couple-hood. Partnerships. The idea of when people come together, they stay together. I have to take that to bed with me at night, even if I’m going to bed alone.” Watching Ally McBeal on Netflix. …and that is a McBealism.

  • THANK BABY JESUS!

    Tomorrow marks my Me-aversary! It’s been 2 years of being ME again!  Doing this all by myself with no help. THANK YOU GOD for all the blessings you have put in my path in the last two years.I always forget and then I am reminded on 4/20 that just two days later douchebag walked out. …

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.
