Quotation Saturday: Christmas, Pt. 1

December 12, 2009 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  I love these days leading up to Christmas more than any other time of the year. I love the planning. I love the baking. I love the making lists. I love the shopping, which I actually do all year long. I love the Amazon super-secret-discount-deals. I love wrapping the boxes and decorating them [...]

What The Bloody Frick Has Happened To Us As Human Beings?

October 1, 2009 – 2:11 pm

Mamacita says: Watch out for the language on this one: Justin Smythe, 44, was arrested in California a few years ago, and freely admitted that he’d given a 13-year-old girl enough booze and drugs to loosen her up so he could, and did, have  sex with her, many times and in many different “ways,” and [...]

Quotation Saturday: Schools

July 18, 2009 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  My opinion on the current state of the average American public school system is very low, and yet in spite of my growing disillusionment with rules, regulations, toleration of bad behavior and attitudes, politics, willful ignorance in both students and adults, and all of the petty little stupidities that daily – hourly – [...]

Things I Haven’t Done Yet

June 2, 2009 – 11:36 pm

Mamacita says:  I’m really not a very cool or adventurous person, and many of the things I’ve never done are done every day by most people.  I get that “raised eyebrow oh really” face from others, a lot.  Sigh. 1.  I’ve never used an ATM machine.  That’s always good for some “oh really” expressions. 2.  [...]

Quotation Saturday: The Movies!

April 18, 2009 – 12:57 am

Mamacita says:  Sometimes we hear a line or two from a movie, and we remember that line or two long after we’ve forgotten everything else about the movie. Sometimes that remembered line helps us remember other things about a movie, too; how much we liked the movie, loved the movie, hated the movie, etc. I’m [...]

Ten Things Tuesday

March 30, 2009 – 8:16 pm

Mamacita says: 1.  You’re never too old for a popsicle. 2.  8-gig SD cards for nine dollars?   I’ll take two, please.  Thank you, Amazon. 3.  Stinky ladybug beetles are starting to drop down on my furniture.  Where did they live all winter?  Wait, don’t tell me.  I bet I don’t want to know. 4.  Educating [...]

Mamacita Reviews A Couple of Movies

March 23, 2009 – 10:27 pm

Mamacita says: I love Notting Hill and Love, Actually, so when the same guys made Definitely, Maybe, I was intrigued.  When the film’s price finally got down to under ten bucks where I could rationalize buying it, I snarfed that baby right up and brought it home, where it sat on my DVD shelf waiting [...]

Life Is A Banquet

March 5, 2009 – 10:56 pm

Mamacita says:  My real life is so, well, ordinary.  I mean, doesn’t everybody have a human skull in the linen closet and singing wall art?  I had children, and a job, and I felt obligated to set some kind of example.  I greatly fear, though, and more so with each passing year, that the footprints [...]

Things Nice People Already Know

January 30, 2009 – 4:00 am

Mamacita says: 1.  When the elevator door opens, wait until the people inside exit before you enter.  Don’t stand directly in front of the elevator, either; stand to the side so people have room to exit. 2.  When you are driving and need to turn, use your turn signals.  Turn them on a half block [...]

Quotation Saturday

January 23, 2009 – 8:16 pm

Mamacita says:  Ah, the Arts.  Without them, we’d all spend our money on Flintstone mudflaps, gas station black velvet Elvises, Billy Ray Cyrus, and anything with Lindsey Lohan, and think THAT was art.  Sadly, some people think so now.  (Be still, my achy breaky heart. . . .) 1.  Madam, you have between your legs [...]
