I don’t like scary stuff. I don’t need candy (don’t need to give other people candy either).
But I do like Halloween.
I like Halloween because it happens in the Fall when leaves are pretty colors and it’s cooling off. (Hear that Arizona? It’s supposed to be cooling off!)
And I LOVE dressing up.
I love figuring out what [...]

I keep up with the news in Utah. Last night I read one of the sadder things I’ve read in a long time. Zim’s is closing. How can that be? I love Zim’s. If you ever needed anything craft related, that’s where you’d go. They’d always have it, plus ten other things you didn’t [...]

Last November I participated in NaBloPoMo (National Blog Posting Month). The object was to post every day for a month. And I did it. And it was a great mental-exercise-stretch-your-mind-see-how-long-you-can-talk-about-nothing kind of thing. Several of my friends did on their blogs as well. One of them took the challenge to blog every day this year.
Well, [...]

Other titles for this blog: Odd ways to say hello
Names have been changed to protect the guilty, innocent, and unsuspecting.
I’m innocently online looking at a few things late at night when suddenly an IM window pops up. My friend doesn’t say “hello,” “how you doing?” “what’s up?” none of that. Instead we have the following [...]

In class recently someone commented that the value of marriage was going down in society today. The other students were only too ready to agree. They said there were many reasons not to get married, it seems more than reasons to get married. Marriage is a complication and a huge obligation. So it’s understandable why [...]

Someone explain the appeal of Vegas to me, because I just don’t get it. What is so exciting about throwing money away with nothing to show for it?
When I am flying, if there is any way to avoid the Vegas airport, I will do that. The airport is, in a word, annoying. On a recent [...]

I’m taking statistics for my degree right now. I’m not that bad at it actually. I can handle the hand calculations great. I have a bit of a problem with the numbers the computer spits out at me and figuring out what they mean, but I’m not that bad.
So this summer when I saw this [...]

I finally managed to catch the PBS show Objects and Memory when it was showing rather than after it was over. It looks at how we hold on to objects to remind us of events, people, places, and how we might create objects in memory of things that have happened.
These objects most often have absolutely [...]

MissGiggles.com Turns 5 Today!
In honor of this event, and because I can, I hereby proclaim October 20th to be Miss Giggles day!
Hard to believe it, but this site has now been up for five years. Wow! A lot has changed since then.
When it went up I was just barely figuring out how it all worked. [...]

I finally have one. I’ve wanted one of these for years, and now I have one. And I love it.
Thursday I went to the craft store to buy a frame, but they were still out of the one I wanted. So I bought two bunches of fall flowers on sale, a small pot, and some [...]
