Mamacita says: May you be buried in a casket made from the wood of a 100 year old oak That I shall plant tomorrow. Oh, tis a wondrous thing to be Irish, although the same could not be said earlier in our country’s history. Many people do not know how unwelcome the Irish were here, [...]

Mamacita quotes from Shakespeare’s Julius Caesar: Act 1, scene 2, 15–19 Caesar: Who is it in the press that calls on me? I hear a tongue shriller than all the music Cry “Caesar!” Speak; Caesar is turn’d to hear. Soothsayer: Beware the Ides of March. Caesar: What man is that? Brutus: A soothsayer bids you [...]

Mamacita says: For Presidents’ Day, I thought I’d feature a quotation from each of our presidents. No matter what our personal opinion of a president might be, he is the leader of our nation and the position, if not the person, deserves some respect. It’s not Saturday, but let’s dive into some presidential quotations! 1. [...]

Mamacita says: It’s Valentine’s Day, and since many people associate this day with Cupid, let’s talk for a moment about the REAL Cupid. Well, the real mythological Cupid. Cupid is not a fat naked baby, flying around shooting arrows into people to make them fall in love with the first living thing they see, causing [...]

Mamacita says: Many years ago, I was teaching Public Speaking in a small farmland high school in southern Indiana. My students’ assignment, one week, was to give an informal “how-to” presentation, a brief demonstration of something they personally knew how to do. That week, we all learned how to crochet a chain stitch, how to [...]

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 [...]

Mamacita says: Guess what. Not every student is ‘more alert’ in the mornings. Believe it or not, many students are nearly comatose early in the morning and their brains spring into action later in the day. This is not always a result of staying up late playing video games, etc. Some people are just wired [...]

Mamacita says: Let’s start the New Year with some opinionated rants. I am not an A-list blogger/social network updater. I’ve always been more than just a little bit quirky and nerdy, and I still am. I don’t care. I’ve never been cool. Not then, not now. I don’t care. (much) In my Reader/friend list/etc. are [...]

Mamacita says: Well, my dears, here we all are once again, celebrating another new year with our real life friends and our other real life friends. When I began this blog eight years ago, it was more an outlet and an experiment than what it is now, which is an extension of, well, me. Eight [...]
