Quotation Saturday: Curiosity

March 13, 2010 – 1:36 am

Mamacita says:  Children are naturally curious.  With each passing day, an infant is more and more curious about what’s going on in the world around him/her.  When is this happening?  When is that happening?  And, later, WHY is this happening, or not?  Add to this everything in between, and it’s little wonder that it’s so [...]

Signing Off, Signing On, Test Patterns, and the Peacock

March 7, 2010 – 12:38 am

Mamacita says:  Most of you have never seen this picture before. Most of you have never known a time when television wasn’t a 24-hour marathon of programming.  This is a test pattern.  If you turned on your television after midnight, this is all you saw.
The fact is, things used to have down time. [...]

The Twelve Rules of Christmas

December 29, 2009 – 12:21 am

Mamacita says:
. . . interrupting my post-Christmas blues, my wallowing in Love Actually, my longing for visits from family, and my dread of taking down all my holiday decorations, with the Twelve Rules of Christmas, just for you:
1.  Christmas is always better than you thought it would be, even if it’s not.
2.  Christmas brings people [...]

Fifi Says “Thank You,” Too.

December 8, 2009 – 3:22 pm

Mamacita says:  She looks pretty good to be 32 years old and full of superglue, doesn’t she.
A few years ago, I thought I would try something new, so I put a twinkly-lights-covered star on top of my tree. It was beautiful, but after a few days, I took it down and hung it from [...]

Zero Tolerance? Don’t Get Me Started. . . .

November 15, 2009 – 8:45 pm

Mamacita says:  It looks so good on paper.  You know, like communism and NCLB.  The problem with all these things is this: they don’t work.
Like an expensive dog with elite genealogy papers and a genetic flaw,  they’ll all eventually bite you in the butt and give you second, and if you’re smart, third and fourth, [...]

Make someone happy, Make just one someone happy, And you will be happy, too. . . .

November 5, 2009 – 9:28 pm

Mamacita says: Whether or not you celebrate Christmas has nothing whatsoever to do with being Santa Claus for someone. Call it whatever you wish: just call it something, and go forth and do it.  Letting your soul curl up into a ball of resentment because YOUR religion, or lack of such,  doesn’t “do” [...]

It Is A Terrible Thing Not To Become A Woman When One Ceases To Be A Girl

June 14, 2009 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says:  This was formerly posted back in February of 2009, but since so many people are blogging about their pregnancies and deliveries these days, I thought I’d rerun this one of mine. I have others, but I kind of like this one best.
First of all, I enjoyed being pregnant. Heck, I [...]
