I Am Not A Crazy Cat Lady. Yet.

Mamacita says:  I see no real harm is a cat in the kitchen unless it walks across your plate.  Or sheds a lot.  Or thinks it’s a human and demands its own place setting and chair, but I can deal with that.  As long as it’s sitting in a chair and has its own plate, [...]

Profanity vs. Obscenity

Warning: proceed no further if you’re one of those overly sensitive types who is easily offended.  You’re no fun, by the way. == Mamacita says:  Grammar.  I love grammar.  It’s such a fantastic segue to. . . well, pretty much anything. A student once asked me if it was true that a person could go [...]

The Kraken: Released

I have no sense of feng shui.  I wish I did.  Sometimes I pretend I do, but I’m always found out by people who really do have it.  Ask my sisters. I’ve always thought that a person’s home should represent that person.  Perhaps I have carried this a bit too far in the decor (heh) [...]

All For Want Of A Strong Stud

Mamacita says:  Once upon a time, there was a lady who had two sweet little cats named Vera and Millie.  One day, it was discovered that Vera and Millie liked to pee on the carpet on the landing at the foot of the stairs, behind a big mirror which was supposed to be hanging on [...]

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.  Today was the first day of summer session.  So far, so good; my students seem very nice. 2.  I might be falling in love with “my” treadmill at the gym. 3.  The tractor is fixed, and the grass has been cut. However, 4.  I looked out the window and couldn’t see the [...]

Quotation Saturday: Cats

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 [...]
