• There were oh so many roads…

    There is a saying, “An ex is an ex for a reason.”  sometimes we forget that saying when we forget why we ended a relationship in the first place. I am well aware of why I ended certain relationships…I know why ones were ended with me. I’ve made the mistake of getting back with someone…

  • Mom.

    Tomorrow is Mother’s Day. I know you all think you have the most amazing mother in the world, but I am going to go all 3rd grade right now and say, “My mom is prettier than your mom! and she can probably beat your mom up, but she won’t because my mom is nice.” It’s…

  • Miss. Understood

    I posted this picture on my Flickr account and people thought I spent the weekend GETTING MARRIED. I’m not really sure how to be more clear, so I am going to use the words of a dear friend; “Hell to the mother fuckin’ No.” It has nothing to do with my ability to ever commit…

  • Kara’s New Toy…

    We have been wanting a fisheye lens for a lonnnnnng time but we could never afford it, still can’t…so we bought the less expensive one. It’s not as fun as the one I use to play with at the camera store, but it’s fun trying to get the shot we want. We have this lens…

  • Brrr.

    It was too beautiful to sit at home this weekend! I grabbed my girls and we headed to the lake! I see a whole summer full of trips to the lake. I may need to find a place that doesn’t charge though. *cough* I got sick though. I’m smart enough to know better, but 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.
