First Little Blog Post

Choosing a domain name is always fun . . . until you realize that every obvious choice (lindysblog, for example) or even every not-so-obvious choice (such as roadkillkitty) is already taken.

As I was sitting at my kitchen table, struggling to come up with something original, my eyes fell on the fresh-cut flowers in a little blue vase on the tabletop. So that's what this blog is called! Lilacs and peonies are my favorite flowers of all time--sometimes I'll literally stop on the sidewalk to smell lilac blossoms. But roses, tulips, and sunflowers all come in at a close second, and they're definitely easier to obtain from the flower shop.

This is similar to how I came up with my aol screenname, instant_maple: I was sitting in my dorm room, tearing open a packet of Quaker's instant maple oatmeal, when the computer told me to pick a username.

As my first post, here is a little something to get you through the day:


Teacup pig!!!! Phil is such a wonderful fiance--after I revealed my helpless adoration for these little guys, he researched them for me. Apparently, getting a teacup pig as a pet can run you up to $1000. :( A little more expensive than a golden retriever. But maybe we'll find a stray teacup pig on a street corner or in the kennel somewhere.

FYI: The girl who stole lindysblog.blogspot.com has not posted anything since 2005. Just sayin'.
