I Am Forever Out Of Season

March 6, 2011 – 11:06 pm

Mamacita says:  We don’t use our front door much unless we have houseguests, and then mainly because we don’t want anybody to risk tripping over something as they follow the tiny path of nonclutter through the garage to the outer door that we mostly use when entering and exiting the house. No, we don’t really [...]

Love Stays

February 14, 2011 – 3:09 am

Mamacita says:  Happy Valentine’s Day. Not because it’s a man-made holiday that exploits the guilt feelings of both men and women and forces them to go forth (or fifth) and spend a lot of money on flowers that will die and candy that will be eaten, but because it’s just one more excuse for people [...]

The Time Is Always Right To Do What Is Right – Martin Luther King, Jr.

January 17, 2011 – 12:06 am

Mamacita says:  Why is this day a holiday in most communities? (This community doesn’t consider it a holiday, but that’s typical for this county.) (None of our schools closed.  None of our schools has EVER closed for MLK Day.)(They don’t close for Veteran’s Day, either.) However, intelligent, sensitive, educated people understand that today deserves respect [...]

The Twelve Rules of Christmas

December 24, 2010 – 8:21 pm

Mamacita says: There are, of course Twelve Actual Rules of Christmas, according to the law, and in case you don’t know what they are and have intentions of storming the school or business that’s maliciously ignoring your rights as a Christian/Jew/Catholic/Protestant/Wiccan/Pagan/Atheist/Order of Elfland/Kisser of Mother Earth’s Backside, etc, perhaps y’all should take a glance at [...]

Lighten Up, Oh Ye Of Little, No, or Different Faiths

December 15, 2010 – 8:26 pm

Oh jeepers gee WHILIKERS, one of my posts has been syndicated on my wondrous BlogHer! ======== Mamacita says:  Okay, so, today’s what, the 15th?  It’s time for another politically incorrect rant!  Be warned, oh overly-sensitive types born without the ability to discern. . . . I am a Christmas fanatic. I live for this season. [...]

Science Fiction and Christmas and Stars, Oh My

December 13, 2010 – 1:57 am

Mamacita says:  I love a good short story, but exactly what is a short story?  Is it a short story because it’s always short? Surprisingly, no. It’s a short story because it has only one main plotline and set of characters. However, most short stories are pretty short.  One of my college professors told us [...]

Be Nice Anyway. You’re Not The Center of the Universe

December 9, 2010 – 1:02 am

Mamacita says: Let’s talk about simple, basic, seasonal etiquette.  Where is it? I will never understand why some people feel they have to be so defensive and hostile all the time. These people whine “insensitivity” but the truth is, THEY are the ones who are insensitive. This time of year, in particular, one reads article [...]

Things Nice People Already Know: Go To The Back of the Line!

December 2, 2010 – 10:43 pm

Mamacita says:  The Post Office is really busy at this time of the year. People are standing in long lines, waiting to buy stamps and mail packages.  Everybody knows how busy the Post Office is at this time of the year. That being said, WHAT IS UP WITH ALL THE OLD WOMEN * IN THERE [...]

Let’s Make Magic For Our Children

November 2, 2010 – 10:01 pm

Mamacita says:  Don’t tell anybody, but I’m only pretending to be upset that all the stores are getting ready for Christmas.  Yes, it’s too early.  Yes, Thanksgiving really does deserve some undivided attention.  Etc. The fact is, I love Christmas, and even more than Christmas, I love preparing for Christmas.  This entails far more than [...]

Halloween is Rocky Horror Time!

October 31, 2010 – 11:32 am

Mamacita says: “Great Scott!” Halloween has been and gone but it’s still THAT SEASON, which means many things, one of which is that I have a giant bowl half-filled with Tootsie Roll Pops and Hershey bars on my coffee table, and another of which is that I am once again compelled to obsess over my [...]
