Random and Odd

ok. not good. probably bad.

  • Happy Easter

    I hope you all have a beautiful day that you get to spend with your family, those you call family, friends or just a day where you get to do whatever you want.

  • Reason #120 of why my daughter is better than everyone else’s.

    It’s Wednesday night during Spring Break: Do you know where your 17 year old daughter is? I do! she’s in the living room practicing packing a parachute.

  • Reclaiming my Sunday

    Sunday use to be my favorite day.  It meant that I got to sleep in and when I did wake up there would be the Sunday paper and coffee there waiting.  I use to wake up to the clickity-click-click of the computer keys next to me.  Now, I wake up to the alarm clock screaming…

  • Happy 17th Birthday, Kara

    It was a year ago that we spent that awesome weekend in San Francisco! The fact that my daughter wanted to spend her 16th birthday with no one but her mother, walking around the city, going to Alcatraz and seeing “Wicked”, it makes me proud to call you my daughter. Now it’s a totally new…

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.
