Obi’s Sister has tagged me for a meme. It’s been a while since I’ve done one of these, and I will have to say that not only do I learn things about my friends that I honestly didn’t know before; I learn things about myself that I probably knew but had filed away somewhere and [...]

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: Last July, I went to the BlogHer conference; I couldn’t find enough positive things to say about the experience! I had a wonderful time. I met wonderful people. I did wonderful things. This coming July, I’m going again. I can’t wait. I signed up almost as soon as the sign-ups opened, and honestly? [...]

Plus, we’re expecting family to come down any day now and look through them with us. 2. I haven’t sent out any “Thank you for your sympathy” cards yet, but I’ve [...]

Mamacita says: As my beloved George Carlin would say, “BULLETIN bulletin bulletin bulletin BULLETIN bulletin bulletin bulletin bulletin. . . .” BlogHer 09 will be in Chicago this next summer – July 24-25 – and I can’t WAIT! I sincerely hope to see or meet as many of you as possible on that weekend. I’ve [...]
I’m actually allergic to dog dander, and bird dander. (the bird dander horror story will come later.) Whenever I visit someone who has a dog, the dog is as attracted to me as a paperclip is to a magnet. It’s as though the pheromones of terror are giving out “you can do anything you want [...]
. . . soooooo many posts about BlogHer! I LOVE THEM!!! Strange as it may seem, since I am such an opinionated blowhard somewhat assertive on this blog, I am actually very shy in real life. It’s difficult for me to walk into a room full of people and approach someone; I always assume that [...]
