Ignore Me

......so this is my first ever one of these and I couldn't come up with an original intro no matter how hard I tried.  Why am I starting a blog?  Well, I got inspired to do a little writing by a couple of people I know who have blogs of their own (of which I thoroughly enjoy reading: Jeff's and Seija's) and thought it may be a great outlet for me to blab away into a big box and not take up 50 lines within my FB "What's on your mind?" field causing people, including my husband, to put me on Ignore.  That would make me sad.  Come to think of it, though-- I probably already am on Ignore within many people's profiles because I became one of those people who I vowed never to become; you know that one--the one who posts pictures of their baby's adorable face on a daily basis and who also posts daily blurbs about being a new mom.  People hate that.  I should know as I used to be one of those people who hated that.
     Anyway, I titled my blog Bric-a-Brac and Binkies for a couple of reasons: a) I have a soft spot for that department within a Salvation Army,  b) entries will be all mish-moshed (much like the bric-a-brac shelves at SAL's), and c) I had my first baby in January, so I--you guessed it-- have a lot to discuss there alone. I'm horrible at discussing Politics so I won't bother with that topic.  You would automatically either shake your head in utter disgust that I wouldn't know what I'm talking about or you'd be horrified at how little I know about what's going on in our political world.  Therefore, I shall stick to my large mental library of useless knowledge, useful knowledge, and comical observations of daily life.  
     All that being said and the fact that it took me over an hour to write 3 paragraphs, I will digress for this evening.  I hope that you like a sarcastic sense of humor, run on sentences, daily mentions of an infant, and references to the early 90's.  By reading my blog, you'll help me make use of this laptop that I never use! I look forward to attempting an entry every day and I hope that it doesn't turn into another one of my projects that I start and never finish or a lonely piece of bric-a-brac that no one buys that is laying all dusty, chipped and sticky on a shelf at SAL's.
