Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Oh the blessings…

    Happy Thanksgiving! How fantastic was it to not wake up to an alarm this morning? Amazing!! How awesome is the cup of coffee I am enjoying from my bed on my NOT work computer? HEAVEN! Alyx is with a friend down south this week. It took a act of God for both Dan and I…

  • The consequences that I’ve rendered…I’ve stretched myself beyond my means

    I decided to bring back Random and Odd because tomorrow marks my divorce finalization date.  In the last 19 months I have learned so much about myself. Some good, some great, some…not so good or great. I decided to keep thing events of what happened in our marriage and divorce somewhat private, outside of some…

  • I got this…as always.

    I’ve been on this strange roller coaster of emotions lately. This month is turning out to be worse than the whole year of 2009. Tabitha has this saying, “Fake it till you make it.” and dear Lord, the amount of energy it requires to smile through any type of situation is exhausting.  I will admit,…

  • What you’re not saying is coming in loud and clear…

    Thanks Kackles…a year ago!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. For the last few days I have been watching the two shows I have Tivo’ed for the day and then I turn off the tv around 10pm and talk myself to sleep. To be able to do this is SHOCKING. I have fought with insomnia…

  • Happy Halloween 2010

    Let’s just start this off with, I love my kids. I love that they might be too old to be trick or treating, but still go out, buy a costume and go trick or treating.  Kara was the alien toy from Toy Story and it didn’t matter how many times she said,  “The claw has…

  • Senior Fall Play

    Kara is in a play, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. My wonderful daughter was in last night’s play and I couldn’t be more proud!! I love the woman she has become. As a parent all I can say is I can look back at her time in High School and be proud of the…

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.
