Friday Bitch & Brag*
January 3, 2025 - The Arctic Blast Edition: impending snowstorms, random kindness, and pen pal fun
Access to The Corinne Channel is for paid subscribers and features a roundup of what I’ve been consuming over the past week, from eats & drinks to media. It’s included at the end of each Friday Bitch and Brag.

Kicking off the new year by posting the first B&B a day late. Good thing I don’t make resolutions for myself. Let’s circle up!
Bitch: Once again the school district decides it’s a good idea to come back to school for two days, rather than make winter break a full two weeks.
Brag: It’s likely school will be closed on Monday, thanks to a major snow storm coming Sunday night.

Bitch: I hate starting a new year reading about violence during holiday celebrations.
Brag: In all my outings over the last week, I didn’t witness any nasty, rude behavior, but saw a few instances of random kindness. It gives me a little hope that folks are realizing compassion is a grass roots endeavor.

Bitch: I didn’t finish up all the projects I wanted to before the end of 2024, which is not surprising, knowing me, but also frustrating.
Brag: I got to have a 2 hour video chat with my pen pal overseas. We’ve been writing to each other for 10 years and when the pandemic started, we began connecting online to have more immediate contact in addition to our letters. We talked about so many different things: tea preferences, pen pals we had in the past, family matters, and dealing with menopause.
This week on The Corinne Channel: a BONUS bitch & brag, the rise and fall of a 90s brand, cake, historical romance, and more!
