My First Ever Blog Post!

This is a momenteous occasion. The confirmed Luddite, the technology phobe; the girl who swore she would never, ever, ever have a computer, so help me God, unless it were to save the life of my own son.....is now blogging on a COMPUTER.....It may have taken 57 times longer than it should have, it may have required a glass of wine, and caused a headache; but....IT IS DONE. I hope that I will actually write some things that are of interest, but if not, I have no problem speaking to myself, every day, for the rest of my life. I hope to have many posts about the trials and tribulations (and successes) of being a thrifty mama, a soapmaker, and the "good wife" sung about in the 1978 hit "Brandy", for which I was named....(my parents deny it, but COME ON).
