Thises and Thats, Part 799

Mamacita says:  I would be very grateful indeed if you would go look at my review on this here other blog and comment.  Please?  I do not do paid reviews on this blog, as it is my personal journal and I just would not DO that to my readers, but on that other blog?  Bring [...]

BlogIndiana, WordCamp, BlogHer, BlogWorldExpo, and Pickles

Mamacita says:   In a few days, I’ll be off to Blog Indiana – which you don’t have to be from Indiana to attend, why don’t all of you sign up, too?
I’m hooked now on writing conferences.  Social media get-togethers have become my crack cocaine.  No longer do I have to cook my meth in [...]

BlogHer Is Officially Over, Except That It’s Never Really Over

Mamacita says:  The day after Christmas BlogHer is always hard for me. A full year of intense anticipation, building up to an amazing flash of fun, love, learning, friends, and hearty partying educational experiences of many descriptions, and then BLAH, home again. I mean, I love to be home, [...]

I Love You BlogHer, Oh Yes I Dooooooooo. . . .

Mamacita says:  I’m going to BlogHer this weekend and honestly, I really can’t be arsed to think about anything else!  (Sorry, students.  Good luck on your final, etc. etc.)
This will be my third BlogHer, and I feel as excited about it and possessive of it as if I actually had something to do with it!
I [...]

BlogHer, Blackberries, Amtrak, and Twitter. Oh My.

Mamacita says:  Before I forget, click HERE and laugh.  I do love humor that requires a lot of prior knowledge.  This cartoon almost made me wet my pants.  Almost.  ALMOST.  Shut up.
Before I really calmed all the way down from last year’s BlogHer, it’s almost time for this year’s BlogHer.  My adrenaline level is pumping [...]

Excitement Makes Me Itch

Mamacita says:  I’ve got an exciting few weeks coming up, what with Science in the Rockies and BlogHer and a Grogan family reunion in the lineup.  I’m going to be seeing people I haven’t seen in a year, meeting fabulous wonderful people I’ve been dying to meet for ages, and hanging out with cousins I [...]

Ten Things Tuesday

Mamacita says:
1.  It didn’t rain today, and all the plants, animals, and people are in shock.  I mean to say, we don’t know what to do with ourselves.  We’re peeking out of the ark and seeing sunlight.  I guess one of us should send a dove out to scope for land.
2.  All the plants in [...]

Grillface, Sun Blisters, and Barbecue Sauce

Mamacita says:  The new Carnival of Education is up over at Steve Spangler’s Blog.  While you’re there, check out his post about color-changing solar beads.  If your child has a hard time remembering to reapply sunscreen, why don’t you make a bracelet, or ankle bracelet, or necklace, or thread a bead on a chain and [...]

It Is A Terrible Thing Not To Become A Woman When One Ceases To Be A Girl

Mamacita says:  This was formerly posted back in February of 2009, but since so many people are blogging about their pregnancies and deliveries these days, I thought I’d rerun this one of mine. I have others, but I kind of like this one best.
First of all, I enjoyed being pregnant. Heck, I [...]

Protect-A-Bed BlogHer 09 Contest

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.  Protect-A-Bed is giving us all an opportunity to try and [...]
