Love,
Aunt Giggles

I remember my mom playing a song on the piano called “Happiness is.” I looked on line for the lyrics and the ones I found seem to be a little different than the ones I remember. Maybe my mom will find them and add them here in a comment.
I felt a bit snarky after writing [...]

Today is my mom’s birthday. When I was learning my multiplication facts she taught me that 4×8 was how old she was. So that’s how old she is.
I have a great mom. She does all kinds of fun things. She loves pompoms and pipe cleaners and wiggly eyes and fake fur and can [...]

There is a blog meme going around that I’ve heard someone is waiting for me to participate in. Unfortunately, I won’t be. At least not exactly.
The meme is a list of 100 books that you are supposed to mark the ones you have read. Unfortunately, how this list came to be is suspect. The meme [...]

By the end of this week I will be an aunt. I’m still not sure how I like the sound of that. But I’m excited for my nephew to be here. Several months ago my sister was helping a friend of hers make some receiving blankets. My brother-in-law commented to her that they looked real [...]

A friend of mine emailed me a few weeks ago and asked me what I knew about blogs because she was going to be teaching a lesson on them for an Enrichment Meeting in Relief Society. I then turned the question to people I know who blog. Together we all came up with some great [...]

I watched the men’s gold medal basketball game last night. Would somebody PLEASE tell the announcers how to say the Spanish names? If I heard them mispronounce “Jimenez” one more time I was going to throw something. It grated on my ears every time. The stats guy can get the commentators all kinds of information, [...]

Yes, I cheered out loud during the last leg of the women’s 4×400 relay. That last straight was just, wow! I didn’t think she could do it, but that was incredible. I cheered for the men’s marathon too.
Gotta say though, I wasn’t that excited about the men’s 4×400 relay. But that’s mostly because I think [...]

While we are getting me a Chinese fan and a Chinese kite, can we get me a Chinese cone hat too?
Okay, running a 5K or a 10K on a track? That’s got to be one of the most boring things in the world. Amazing how fast they go, but I think just one mile on [...]

Run at a dead sprint for 1, 3, 6, 26.2 miles so that when you cross the finish line you collapse and sprawl out on the track like someone hit a whole bunch of flies with a fly swatter (Did you see the men’s 400m last night!? They were all sprawled out on the ground [...]
