Mamacita says: Dear cats, I know you aren’t guilty of everything I blame you for, but having you living here sure takes the heat off me sometimes. If it weren’t for you, I’d have to do a lot more cleaning. Not that I don’t have the cleaning to do, but when I blame the cat, [...]

Mamacita says: I know they make all kinds of clothing in every imaginable size, and this is of course nothing but my personal opinion – and I’m full of personal opinions – but it just seems to me that anybody over 12 years old looks more than stupid in a Hannah Montana t-shirt. Are people [...]

Mamacita says: Walmart twice in one afternoon. . . . I feel so cheap.

Mamacita says: Sometimes I think most of the planet’s problems are caused and perpetuated by people who don’t have the sense to piss in a boot people with no common sense. Oh, and don’t you love those pithy regional sayings that are more idiomatic than the most cryptic idiom you’d ever find in a textbook? [...]
Mamacita says: The Sears lawn mower guy who was scheduled to show up at 1:00 finally came at 3:45. He made up for his tardiness by doing a great job, and giving me a “spring discount,” which, these days, means that instead of asking me for an arm and a leg, he required only an [...]

Mamacita says: I have actually lived a very provincial life. I haven’t been much of anywhere, and all I do is work. I’m not extraordinary in any way, and I haven’t any outstanding talents. I love to sing, but shouldn’t. A sadly accurate description of me would have to include words like “mousy,” and “insecure,” [...]

Mamacita says: It’s absolutely POURING down rain, and I’m really glad because I love to lie in bed and listen to the rain as I drift off to sleep. However, tomorrow is an early-to-work day, and a hard rain as I drive northward on the interstate isn’t nearly as pleasant. The semester is over in [...]

Mamacita says: Sometimes we hear a line or two from a movie, and we remember that line or two long after we’ve forgotten everything else about the movie. Sometimes that remembered line helps us remember other things about a movie, too; how much we liked the movie, loved the movie, hated the movie, etc. I’m [...]

By now, I’m sure everyone knows that I’m probably BlogHer‘s biggest (in more ways than one) fan. I’m definitely going – I’m one of the mic jockeys! - but money’s really, really, really tight and it would be wonderful to win my transportation to Chicago.
