    What I get when I pick up Jeremiah from Daycare!! SO WORTH IT!, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. “Home is where you can say anything you please, because nobody pays any attention to you anyway” The ongoing battle to save my home from foreclosure is finally over.

  • Senior, Eighth Seventh

    Senior, Eighth Seventh, originally uploaded by Random and Odd. It just blows my mind that my baby girl is going into her senior year in high school. She got up and drove to school today. She started driving last year, but this year it just seemed so surreal. This was the first year that all…

    Driving home Friday I had to do something I hate doing…I had to break check some bitch. When driving my sweet ride, Penny, I have two options…Go up the hill or have air conditioning on. Both at the same time is not an option. Also, taking off from a dead stop takes a little time…

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.
