We’ve had nothing but torrential rain for over two weeks. Our grass is so high it can’t be mown with a regular mower; we’ll have to use the tractor and the bush hog. I’ve seen other people who’ve tried to keep their grass mown, but their yards look like a weird combination of nice short [...]

Mamacita says: I’ve got short things on my mind these days: short stories, shortbread, summer shorts, coming up short, playing shortstop, the short stack at Denny’s, the IRS’ short form. . . and other short things even I think are too politically incorrect to share here, although I wish I could. Those of you who [...]
Mamacita says: I got fourteen emails from people who suspected it wasn’t I who posted that very excellent April 1 post on this blog yesterday. Does this mean my writing style is that well known, or that the guest post yesterday was so much better, people instantly knew it couldn’t have been mine? Also, is [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 Henry IV [...]

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 [...]

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 if they knew [...]

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 [...]
