Happier than happy…is that possible?
I am in my new place! It’s a beautiful two story home with no ghosts attached to it. No tears, all laughter! Last week, Lester’s daughter Ashley helped move nearly ALL the big furniture in. For a little thing, that girl can move some stuff and inspire others around her to get shit done. On…

Can I just please move in…
to Starbucks! I have been leaving early for work because the coffee maker/burr grinder is packed up and I need my coffee in the morning. This morning they started serving Pumpkin Spice Lattes. It’s been expressed every possible way, but the joy it brings me when they come out with Pumpkin Spice is beautiful. It’s…

TAKEN BY DAD, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. God will not give us more than we can handle. What doesn’t kill us, will make us stronger. I’m tired of God proving how freaking strong I am! I cried on the way home last night, “NO MORE! I can’t take anymore!” For the love, 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.
