O to the H to the I to the O

Ohio here we come! Our move is now official and there is so much to do before then I think my head might actually explode. My husband is already in Ohio and has started work, so I am in CT attempting to hold down my full time job, take care of two kids, get all move/mortgage/daycare logistics figured out, pack and nurse my daughter through ear surgery. Oh, yeah and let's not forget Thanksgiving. Aye gavolt. Am I excited? Not at the moment. But I will be once we are there and settled. Until then, I'm just trying to hold it all together.

(so please forgive the sporadic posts, this blog many lean toward the "Random" in Spiffy and Random through the holidays or at least until things even out a bit)

Comments

A couple people have recently told me that they are having trouble posting comments. I'm not sure exactly why that is, but I just adjusted some settings, so hopefully that will help. If you continue to have trouble please let me know and I'll dig a little deeper. I love comments (they make this feel less solitary), so keep them coming!

Quick update

Here are three things that aren't really related, but are noteworthy...
1) IA has a total of 4 teeth! Her upper two are now fully visible. She also stood for 6 seconds (the M-i-s-s-i-s-s-i-p-p-i kind) all by herself this weekend.
2) Tonight WA went over to his bookshelf and picked out a book, by name, that we had only read once about a week ago. The fact that he remembered the complex title kind of threw me. I guess this shouldn't be so surprising, but it kinda was. He has got a gazillion books and apparently a good memory.
3) My posts might be a little sparse over the next week or so, but hang in there, I'll be back.

I'll leave you with a shot of WA and I from this past weekend taken at the Museum of Natural History. It was a completely overwhelming trip, but well worth it.



Peace.

Want to know when I post a new entry?

A couple of people have recently asked me how they can tell when I post a new blog entry. Well, if you look right over here >>>>>>>>> you'll see a field where you can enter your email address and get my posts delivered directly to your inbox, immediately after I publish them. Granted, this sort of takes away the fun of visiting the site to see if there's something new, but since a couple people have asked, I thought I'd point it out. Enjoy!

Why Spiffy and Random?

A quick note to explain the odd title of this blog...

Back in college my dear friend JK and I had a radio show (voted best overall radio show 1994, thank you very much!) and we needed a name. Seeing as the show was going to be composed of music that she liked (REM, Depeche Mode, indy alt rock), stuff that I liked (Neil Young, Phish crunchy deadhead-esq rock) and stuff we both liked (Madonna, Nirvana, danceable-flannel wearing-all over the board rock) we decided we needed a name that encompassed both the eclectic nature of the songs one was likely to hear, but also of what we hoped our personalities would reflect at 5am (the torturous time slot in which our very first show was scheduled). We came up with Spiffyrandomness. To this day that phrase follows me and so I thought it would be appropriate to use to name my blog. Especially because anyone who is my age (kid-full or kid-less) knows just how spiffy life can be and how completely random it is.
