Blogging

So under the urging of Ms. Valarie, I am going to jump on the blog band wagon.

Just thought I'd take a few minutes to explain what the hell the name of my blog means and a few other things.

Once I looked up my name in a name book, and to my surprise, actually found it listed. It listed "Linnea" as an old welsh word for lime tree. Joy. My name is a freaking tree. My parents gave me the name Linnea because it is a beautiful little pink flower that grows in Sweden. It was name for the botanist Carolus Linneaus. My mom always found the name and the flower to be beautiful and wanted to give me a good strong Swedish name.

Now if you have seen my username as "Lemonea", that is because my social security card had a typo on it. Instead of saying "Linnea" it added an M in the middle of the two n's. So it was "Linmnea". So my friends and I would joke about how that name would be said, and saying it kind of like lemon plus nea we were like "lemonea".
