Quotation Saturday: Rain

May 22, 2010 – 1:29 am

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 [...]

A Wednesday Songlist & Singalong

April 28, 2010 – 8:17 pm

Mamacita says:  I’m grading exams and listening to music.  As always, the cd player is set on “random” and “eleven,” and the oddity of the mix is making even me raise my eyebrows and giggle. 1.  Dancing Queen – Abba 2.  Entry of the Gladiators – Fucik (stop that!) 3. Bittersweet – Moxy Fruvous 4. [...]

Wednesday: Why Do It Be?

February 10, 2010 – 1:14 am

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 [...]

In Every Pothole, There Is Hope.

December 15, 2009 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says: My all-time favorite Christmas movie is still Love Actually.  That doesn’t mean, however, that I don’t like any other Christmas movies. There’s nothing like a zany Christmas movie like “Mixed Nuts” to really get me in the holiday mood. It’s Steve Martin back when he was cute and funny and cool, like WAYYYY [...]

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 [...]

If You Love Something, Give It Away: The Maestro Program

November 22, 2009 – 3:17 am

Mamacita says:  A huge thank-you to Super Cool School for posting this video. Billy Madison‘s speech made everyone in the room dumber, but  Itay Talgam not only makes the world smarter: he makes the world smile.  Somehow, watching this gentleman makes me feel better about the world, and even about. . . me.  And that, [...]

Dear Parents: Every Child Deserves An Audience. Stay In Your Seat. And Shut Up.

November 20, 2009 – 3:46 pm

Mamacita says:  I’ve posted about this subject before, but with the approach of holiday season, it’s on my mind again, so I’ve written a new post about this same thing. We’re tired.  We work all day and in the evenings, we deserve a few hours to rest, eat, and just, well, unwind. We deserve some [...]

Do a little dance, make a little rum, Italian Ice! Italian Ice!

September 14, 2009 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  I’m pretty much living on Diet Coke. But that’s okay, because, in the words of Credence Clearwater Revival: There’s a bathroom on the right. You know how you always think you can drive well even though you’re so tired, you’re almost comatose? Yeah, key word “think.” I actually frightened myself driving home this [...]

Thises and Thats, Part 799

August 20, 2009 – 2:33 am

Mamacita says:  I would be very grateful indeed if you would go look at my review on this here other blog and comment.  Please?  I do not do paid reviews on this blog, as it is my personal journal and I just would not DO that to my readers, but on that other blog?  Bring [...]
