Mamacita says: Most of you have never seen this picture before. Most of you have never known a time when television wasn’t a 24-hour marathon of programming. This is a test pattern. If you turned on your television after midnight, this is all you saw.
The fact is, things used to have down time. [...]

Mamacita says: I am not, by any stretch of the imagination, exactly a spring chicken these days, but when the time comes that I stop asking questions, they can bury me. In fact, they should. What possible use is a person who doesn’t ask questions and seek answers? Can’t think of a thing.
I’m not presumptuous [...]

Mamacita says: Oh, I am such a backwards, provincial thing!
1. I still have never used an ATM machine. I have a feeling it might be a detrimental skill for me to learn.
2. I still have never watched a single Survivor-type show. They all seem more like fraternity hazings to me.
3. I’ve still not watched [...]

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 [...]

Mamacita says: She looks pretty good to be 32 years old and full of superglue, doesn’t she.
A few years ago, I thought I would try something new, so I put a twinkly-lights-covered star on top of my tree. It was beautiful, but after a few days, I took it down and hung it from [...]

Big bowl of filled treat bags for little kids: check.

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 think, sometimes anyway, that it’s when my students get into hot and heavy “discussions” – most of which I jump into as well, that I like my job the best. The public school discouraged discussion; there were too many things to drill and practice before the almighty ISTEP, and besides, there was [...]

Mamacita says: After a summer of rationalization and whining, I finally did get the yard work done today. I feel so much better about my home when the lawn looks nice. I do not want to be “THOSE people” when it comes to my lawn. I also HATE the sensation of wet grass slapping me [...]
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 [...]
