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: “Shades of the past” is an expression I occasionally use. I’ve said it several times these past holiday weeks, in fact. So I thought, well, why not use it as the theme for this week’s Quotation Saturday?
I know it’s Sunday now. Shhhhh.
How very seemly to quote about the past when my deadline is [...]

Mamacita says: Contrary to what many people are thinking, 2010 is NOT the first of a new decade; it’s the last of the old decade. Count on your fingers; I won’t tell on you.
Today is still the first day of the new year. Today is Fresh Start Day. Let’s all try to give ourselves, [...]

Mamacita says: Heinrich Heine was the center of various controversies almost all of his adult life. Born a Jew, he later converted to Catholicism: not for the right reasons, but for convenience’s sake. He has been quoted as such: “. . . (conversion) was ‘the ticket of admission into European culture.’”. and “As [...]

Mamacita says: I was reading my dear online friend Judy’s blog tonight and stole this meme idea from her. Thank you, Judy. I haven’t done a meme for a while, mostly because I loathe them, but this one appealed to me so here goes: How I Named My Blog.
Back in early 2004, my friend Wes [...]

Mamacita says: Oh, is this post a bit late? Oops. Be thankful/grateful I remembered at all, what with cooking two meals and doing pretty much anything I could think of to delay grading this – not kidding – 8-inch stack of papers that must be done by morning.
I hosted my family’s Thanksgiving this year, once [...]

Mamacita says:
1. I do not like this holiday overlap so prevalent today, yet my tree is up and ready. Inconsistency, thy name is Jane.
2. I host Thanksgiving for my family, and I look forward to it with an avidity that is actually frightening, and would probably scare ‘em all off [...]

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: Summer is gone and will never return. No, really, it won’t. Not that summer. A new summer will eventually appear but it will be a different one, not the same one. The same can be said for all four seasons and, in fact, for every second of every minute of every hour of [...]
