I haven't done SPT in a while now, and feel a bit like a poser right this second, but I always have this urge to defend the name of my blog so when the opportunity presents itself....I must post.
My first blog post was about the title of my blog but the quick story is my french pen pal wrote it as a post script on one of his letters. It became a phrase I used with my friends when I was young and hyper (that's right....WAY back in the day). I, like many, many others, had no idea what blogging would become and mainly wanted something unique and un-googleable. It worked! I don't think anyone has put all these words together in a sentence to search for something yet!
So, while it's not really "who I am" or "what I do", my blog name is probably here for the long haul. And, if you don't look at it too closely, it sort of grows on you;)

I just finished my post on this topic too. Mine is also a saying from "back in the day."
I don't think it is poser-ish to only due spt when you feel like it. (could this be because this is how I do them?)
It makes me laugh that you are still quoting your French penpal.
Oh love your family pictures, Oh what a way cute family you have.
I always thought that i would like year around school. But after your post. Hmm, i don't know if i would NOW!!!
Great blog name:)
I love the name of your blog. When Sandy asked me for the address and I gave it to her, she was like Huh? And I was like, don't ask me! I love that you got it from a letter. What fun.
I love your blog's name and I find really great the way that you find it :-)
I think this is a very cool way to get your blog title. It's got history, character and a certain bizarre profundity.
I dig.
welcome, poser ;)
My boys still randomly say, "spasming, it's a good thing."
I can see you spasming when you were younger. I for sure did, much to my embarassment now. Hey! I got a new computer so hopefully I'll be blogging again.
I love the origin of your blog name - a french penpal! So great and so fitting to your posts approach. I love how much you read and travel! I like the name - and I wouldn't ever change it!
Them Frenchies are so witty. I like it, very unique and makes you think for a second. Infact I totally just spaced for a few minutes there thinking about it.
I have a few funny one liners from some German pen-pals.
And your right the title does grow on you.
I love the name of your blog. It's just the kind of crazy that really appeals to me. It makes me smile. I wonder what your penpal was trying to say?
Thanks for the explanation, because man I thought you were so weird!!!! ok, I'm kidding. PLease don't cry! It was just a joke!!!
Isn't it funny though how we didn't realize how long term or how big this whole blog thing would be when we created our blogs?
Love your blog name and the story behind it! So glad you got me into blogging!!!!!
As usual, just catching up on your last few posts. I don't think I would like the idea of year round school either!!!! I love having a schedule and I love having summer off. I think it would really throw my kids into melt downs at every change. They are all strict schedule people too that don't do well with change.
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, your family photos!!!!!!!!!!!
I think you have one of the most unique titles out there. (which I think is so great) Oh, and BTW Doug wanted me to pass along that he was not fond of the word this week. He says that demeanor is a better word to describe such behavior. He said see, Lu and I are on the same page!!!
I have always loved the name of your blog. It has character and the story behind it is so great. I am glad you don't have plans to change it :)
I like your name for its originality - exactly what I hoped for, but never managed. I laughed at your "poser" comment. I always feel a little lame when I miss spt'ing for a few weeks then jump back in. Ah, life...
p.s. your family pictures below are fantastic!
I like your blog name. I find it easy to remember, maybe it's the French in me.
I love the nonsense english as a second language flow of your blog title, and the story behind it. It is one of my favorites.
i am so happy to know the story behind it. i always though it was a line from a song. :)
