Mamacita says: I love cats. They are essential to my happiness. Such small, soft, dainty, playful little creatures, and yet they control the workings of the universe and rule over all they encounter, often when we don’t even realize what’s happening. Besides, could there be anything more relaxing and pleasant than having a trusting, loudly [...]
Mamacita says: It will always be incomprehensible to me that the valedictorian of a graduating class is, in so many public school sytems, selected after only seven semesters. The administration’s excuse is usually something about totaling up scores, figuring up averages, blah blah blah scholarship interviews blah blah, but the truth is, there IS no [...]

Mamacita says: I’m getting back on the airplane tomorrow morning, so I thought some quotations about traveling would be appropriate for today: 1. For my part, I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move. — Robert Louis Stevenson 2. Twenty years from now [...]
Mamacita says: We went to Craters of the Moon National Monument and Preserve today, and it was spooky, stark, and awesome! More later, with pictures. Had lunch at Pickle’s Place in Arco. It was delish. My sister-in-law got the signature Atomic Burger, but I don’t care for mushrooms on my cheeseburger so I wussed out [...]
Mamacita says: 1. I’m in Pocatello, Idaho this week. 2. It’s not raining here! 3. My brother’s kids are cool. 4. My brother and sister-in-law are cool. 5. Having a laptop so I can do my writing wherever I might be is cool. 6. Our country really is massively large, and the flora, fauna, and [...]

Mamacita says: I’m leaving tomorrow to visit my brother and his family for a week, so I’ve tried to fill the refrigerator with all kinds of goodies. I know it’s stupid, because my husband is an excellent cook and is quite capable of feeding and caring for himself, but I have this annoying and very [...]

Mamacita says: Even when I was a child, I was a reader. Not just a reader-in-school, either; I was a READER. When I wasn’t climbing the apple trees next door, skating around the block, or riding my bicycle, I was reading. I read at home. I read at church. I read at school, between little [...]

Mamacita says: This Tuesday, I have more than ten things, but I’ll forcibly hold myself back. Y’all are probably bored enough! 1. I’m on vacation! between semesters right now, so I’ve actually SLEPT! It was awesome; I’d almost forgotten how! 2. My house is still tidy from having company last week. I hope it lasts. [...]

Mamacita says: It’s after 3 a.m. and I’m still up, but this is the time of “day” when I’m at my most alert. I always revert back to my normal body clock when I’m on vacation. It doesn’t take very long at all. Today, it took about two hours. When I got home at 4-ish [...]
