Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • DROP THE OAR!

    What a fabulous weekend! Decided it was time to get out all the gear and head up to the lake.   It was  a good choice for a weekend get away…EXACTLY what was needed. Did some fishing…caught nothing but some sun. At night I could hear something moving around in the woods and since that something…

  • You know when…

    You know when something shitty happens between you and a friend, or boyfriend, girlfriend, husband, wife or coworker and you’re going through it…your friends always say, “it’s not you, it’s THEM.”  and that’s spose to make you feel better? It never really does make you feel better because as natural humans we figure it has…

  • Pork Roast with Carolina Gravy!

    Today sucked so I decided to do what my sister does when she has a rough day. I pulled up a recipe I wanted to try.  Money being tight I went with Pork Roast.   Yes, meat…I went about a month before I caved. Kara and Shea decided to help me out.  We turned on the…

    I love this picture.  What is cool, if you look at the plane door you can see the wingsuiters waiting to come out behind him. Ed and Kara geeking the camera under canopy! I was looking at Patrick’s pictures on Facebook and his caption under the one where his canopy is opening he wrote, “thank…

  • I haven’t changed, but I am not the same.

    I was watching a tv show the other day and the premise of the show was that their son had been kidnapped. It was painful to watch just because the content alone is the worst thing that could ever happen to a person. The moment that grabbed me was when the once loving couple turned…

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.
