This is a fake column by my alter ego, cranky “Aunt Valkyrie”. Please refrain from lodging a complaint and take this post in the spirit in which it is intended. Tongue in cheek. Anyway, I haven’t done it for awhile, thought I’d give it a go again. As always, send any questions to branwynne77@hotmail.com and [...]
The last gift my grandmother gave me was the blouse that we both loved.
Sometimes, I wear it so that I can feel close to her. It’s like a hug from her.
Over Eater Non-Anonymous

One of the toughest issues I need to overcome is the desire to overeat–especially the dreaded “j” food—the destroyer of every well intentioned diet. I nibble on stuff that isn’t what I’d call good for me, my junk food of choice is mostly chocolate, and justify it by saying, “Oh, it’s only a couple of [...]

Getting happy.”

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”–Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
Yes, I took two days off of work this week. It does the soul and mind good to get away from the ol’ grindstone once in awhile. And besides, I always wanted an excuse [...]
Bimbo Bubbles–or…To See How Many Weird People I Can Attract Because of the Title.

I don’t believe in role models–well, let me qualify that. I don’t believe in making role models out of people that I have never met personally. However, I do believe it is ok to adopt a certain action—like compassion for the unfortunate—from someone like Gandhi. But I wouldn’t base my whole life just from some [...]
Yeah, I know. My banner looks kinda cheap. Can’t afford the software to make a decent one and no one I know can make a couple (I want to switch them according to my moods) of them for me. I WOULD try to pay a token amount. Eh. I’ll live with my cheap ass blog [...]
One of the ideas that “normal”–there is no such thing by the way– people have about neurotic folks is that we can just stop being that way. Maybe I should tell them to stop being insensitive? Nyah. Not my style.
I’ve heard from all members of my family to stop pulling my eyebrows and eyelashes….yet I [...]
