Mamacita says: Today’s quotations come to us from my friend NYC Educator. Do you see a theme? It’s all in your head! There is no theme! No theme! Or, maybe there is. Coincidences occur all the time. America needs fewer laws, not more prisons. – James Bovard War is just one more big government program. [...]

Mamacita says: 1. When the elevator door opens, wait until the people inside exit before you enter. Don’t stand directly in front of the elevator, either; stand to the side so people have room to exit. 2. When you are driving and need to turn, use your turn signals. Turn them on a half block [...]

Mamacita says: As I sit at the dining room table with my new laptop Hal and look across the living room and out the big window there, I can see our huge shagbark hickory tree. Today, of course, it’s covered with snow. The raised flower bed around its trunk is buried in the snow. I [...]

Mamacita says: 1. Winter storm warning. 6 inches of snow expected. 2. It’s snowing. 3. 14 degrees outside. 4. Sugar-free popsicles are pretty good. 5. When the ground is frozen solid, does the mortuary just store the bodies in the back room until there’s a thaw? How does that work? Wouldn’t digging with a jackhammer [...]

Mamacita says: 1. I haven’t entered my students’ names in either the online gradebook or the hard copy gradebook yet. I really need to do this because writing the scores on a piece of paper with first names only on it is getting pretty awkward. 2. I haven’t figured out all the bells and whistles [...]

Mamacita says: Ah, the Arts. Without them, we’d all spend our money on Flintstone mudflaps, gas station black velvet Elvises, Billy Ray Cyrus, and anything with Lindsey Lohan, and think THAT was art. Sadly, some people think so now. (Be still, my achy breaky heart. . . .) 1. Madam, you have between your legs [...]

Mamacita says: Presidential inaugurations are of great historical importance, but, as with everything of importance, there is an abundance of “trivia” (that isn’t really trivial at all – more like “fascinating!”) that many people do not know. For example: 1. After taking the oath of office at the first presidential inauguration on April 30, George Washington [...]

Mamacita says: !. I just realized that the silk mistletoe “kissing ball” is still hanging from the archway between the dining and living rooms. I need to take that down and pack it away for next year. 2. The green Christmas candles are still on the hutch, but, but, I LIKE them! 3. I [...]

Mamacita says: Here are some great quotes, all from some great women! 1. Look at your feet. You are standing in the sky. When we think of the sky, we tend to look up, but the sky actually begins at the earth. –Diane Ackerman 2. Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. [...]
