You actually do the same thing I do when faced with annoying braggers ... don't pay them too much attention. I've found that braggers are people who are, oddly enough, insecure and seeking people's admiration. Some are extremely self-centered, but for the most part, I've found excessive bragging to be a sign of insecurity, which makes me sympathize for them until their bragging reaches a point that is no longer tolerable.
Good luck with your situation ... you're probably stuck with your unwelcomed visitor until she finds a new audience.

Self-consciousness. Note that such people are often quite dangerous, because in being self-conscious, they have somehow inherently decided that they are inferior, and they go out of their way as a result to convince themselves (via external feedback) that they are superior. When you ignore her, you are actually reinforcing the negative emotion inside of her that she's inferior, and individuals like often usually go to great lengths to do sick and competitive things to change your behavior so that you are forced to listen to her or forced to pay attention to her in order to cover her own insecurities.

She has low self-esteem and to compensate, she brags. She may not realize she is bragging. Just be polite, change the subject and go to the bathroom just to get away from her.

it means they are totally insecure. just smile inside knowing that they are really just pathetic. Fine tune your ability to just pretend they don't exist. there will be some satisfaction knowing that they connot achieve the self assurance they were seeking in you, which will make them feel even more insecure about themselves.

Ignore, ignore, ignore and pretend that you're listening. And if you can't stand it any longer hey! ask her to switch the topic and If she can't do it tell her to shut up! Easy.

Wow, Why are yo so angry because she is being blessed? You should be happy to see another human being being blessed. It is not good to be jealous like this.. We must stop the hate and anger.. It hurts the one who is feeling it.. YOU
God bless & hugs from Texas. {:-)
