Mamacita says: Of course, you all probably already know that if you mix candy corn and salted peanuts together in a big bowl, you’ve got handfuls of PayDay bar goodness. Peanuts are a meat substitute, and candy corn is pretty much fat-free (paraffin never hurt anybody) so really, a big bowl of candy corn and [...]

Mamacita says: I have long been a fan of Chris Brogan, and now I think I might love him madly. As a teacher, I am always on the lookout for new and better things to do, and for better ways to do what I have always done, and Chris’s daughter Violette has shown me yet [...]

Mamacita says: I’m listening to Straight No Chaser, and it’s impossible to be completely whiny when those blazingly, almost impossibly, talented guys are singing straight to me and me only. . . . I know they’re big stuff now, and I’m glad because they so totally deserve to be big stuff, but let it be [...]

Mamacita says: I am very grouchy tonight. I’m not sure why – yes, I do* – but I’m really flashbacking to one parent conference after another: conferences that took place eight and ten and more years ago, even. What the heck is up with me tonight? I am so sick, sick, sick of selfish grown-ups. [...]

Mamacita says: Everybody is selfish on occasion; it’s human nature to want to “feel good,” and “look out for Number One” and think things like “this is best for ME,” and “I won’t share my candy!” and “It’s all for me and about me and because of MEEEEE and for my benefit!!!!” and “I want [...]

Mamacita says: Why yes, actually, I AM having a rather bad evening. Thank you so much for asking. What tipped you off? I blame it on the fact that I hate Gatorade. Hey, you wouldn’t look so hot in my shoes, either. Thank goodness for laptops. Be right back.

Mamacita says: By popular demand – and I really had no idea I was popular at all – here are the answers to the literature quiz of a few weeks ago. I would have posted this sooner, but teachers asked me to wait a little while as they were using this post in their classes. [...]

Mamacita says: I just got back from Blog World Expo in Las Vegas and I’ll tell you honestly that I didn’t want to leave it. I love blog conferences and I love Vegas. Can you tell? Does it show? Jim Turner of One by One Media did a FANTASTIC job on this conference. I’d like [...]

Mamacita says: A full week without updating – this is a record for me, and not one that I’m proud of. I could say I’ve been really busy, which is true, but it’s never an excuse, is it. Not a viable one, anyway. Mea culpa. I’m in Vegas at Blog World Expo, and since Vegas [...]
