The Beginning

My sister said I should call my blog, "Log."

"Get it? Lindsay's Blog."

Although Log Blog is an interesting choice for a blog title, I wasn't quite sold. So, as we do with everything else in life, we reverted back to television. TV is our go-to for any situation. Can't think of a witty response on the fly, quote TV shows. Awkward pause in conversation, bring up reality television. Need a gift idea, boxed set of DVDs. (My family doesn't know how to watch less than 4 hours of television at a time. That's thanks to holiday gifts of Veronica Mars, Friday Night Lights, and Gilmore Girls.)

So, when I couldn't come up with a blog name, it was TV to the rescue. I'm not sure why I felt the urgency to start a blog. I really have nothing important to say. Nonetheless, I made up my mind, I need a blog and I need it now.

"So You Think You Can Blog" is born!

Except, it's not. Because that name was taken.
Whoever got that, I hope you are a helluva good blogger otherwise you have wasted an awesome name.

Next up...this one was a suggestion from my sister..."ShitGrandmaSaracenSays." Not only could that not work for the obvious curse word. But, as I often forget, Grandma Saracen is not a real person. Someone has already written a blog about the crazy stuff she says and it is called the Friday Night Lights script.

What could I call a blog that has random thoughts and stories but isn't necessarily going anywhere...yet.

Of course, it's just like my favorite painfully drawn out sitcom, How I Met Your Mother! I know it will eventually lead me to those poor kids' mother, but it sure as hell is taking a long and often times crazy path to get there.

Much like my blog.

I don't know what I'm going to talk about. Probably television, shopping, and things that annoy me. That's just a guess. Perhaps I will eventually even make a point. Until then, this is it. It is what it is.

Welcome. I am the blogger. And this is how you met me.
