Me? Kinda snarky, overly opinionated. A wife, mother, grandmother and dog mom to five Chessies. I turned 50 in 2009 - comfortable with that, though I don't necessarily feel "50".

Life should be enjoyed. Our souls fed a regular diet of that which makes us happy. No looking back. No regrets. Life is a journey... *Forward*.

I love to blog, though I've been rather inconsistent this year... busy @ work, what can I say. A voracious reader, always trying to learn and understand "this or that".

I'm a total 'net addict, never completely "unplugged" if awake. I enjoy being a netizen, introverted in the meat world - gregarious in the Bits and Bytes one. Weird, but true.

My cyber alias is SophiaZoe - splattered all around Flublogia [the cyber flu community] and my real name is Debi Brandon. I do not hide behind anonymity.

My "serious" blog is PandemicChronicle.com, dedicated to all things influenza, pandemic influenza, and infectious diseases. My website YourFutureRewritten.com is dedicated to helping people reach their weight loss goals through the rapid and medically proven "Take Shape for Life" program.
