Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Struggles..

    Well, I have reached that final spot. The one where you hit the floor in the hallway and slide up to the bed in praying stance and say, “GOOOOD! HELP ME!” I’ve been here before. Many times. This time seems to be different. I’m done living this life the way I think it needs to…

  • It didn’t make the cut…

    This SHOULD be our Christmas card!, originally uploaded by Suddenly Single. We went out today and got all our pictures done in ten minutes flat. After going through all of our pictures, we decided that this was the best one and it SHOULD be our Christmas card. We ended up going with the ones that…

  • Watch this!!

    I am SO grateful that my sister can ALMOST fully appreciate this sport now.  After she does her *first* tandem, she will be able to understand why I love it so much.  The fact that she said she WILL go and she is excited about it, just thrills me to death! So, here you go:…

  • The Ex-wives Club

    The Ex-wives Club, originally uploaded by Suddenly Single. Last night was the last night for Tabitha and Jeremiah in the town we live in. Her phrase always was, “I am not from here!” and I get it, but once we got past our differences (ha-that makes it sound less painful than what we went through)…

  • Split Social Personality

    I’m at that weird cross road where I am caught between who I am, what I want to be…and in those moments I seem to be able to write from the heart.   As you can tell, i’m kind of half assing it here. So here is where the split social networking personality comes into play….

  • everything’s alright I’ll just say goodnight and I’ll show myself to the door

    everything’s alright I’ll just say goodnight and I’ll show myself to the door, originally uploaded by Suddenly Single. The weather was so nice driving back up to Redding yesterday. This morning the weather is horrible! The wind is kind of scary. I can drive in rain and snow without freaking out…but you throw wind in…

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.
