You Are Santa Claus. Do Your Job.

December 4, 2011 – 10:27 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” Christmas is [...]

The Queen’s “We” Loves Morel Mushrooms

May 3, 2011 – 12:05 am

Mamacita says: It’s that time again. That’s right; it’s finals week. Oh wait, that wasn’t what I meant to say. It’s that time again. The morel mushrooms are here. My husband still speaks wistfully of the day he and the kids visited his step-grandmother Margaret (she whom John Dillinger once tried to carjack. . . [...]

Lighten Up, Oh Ye Of Little, No, or Different Faiths

December 15, 2010 – 8:26 pm

Oh jeepers gee WHILIKERS, one of my posts has been syndicated on my wondrous BlogHer! ======== Mamacita says: Okay, so, today’s what, the 15th? It’s time for another politically incorrect rant! Be warned, oh overly-sensitive types born without the ability to discern. . . . I am a Christmas fanatic. I live for this season. [...]

Cultivate an Attitude of Gratitude This Thanksgiving Day

November 25, 2010 – 12:05 am

. . . and use it all the days of your life. Thanksgiving isn’t really just one day, you know. It’s just the one day wherein we are all reminded that EVERY day is a day of thanksgiving in one way or another. Some people consider this official Thanksgiving Day to be politically incorrect, but [...]

Popcorn Thief!

November 21, 2010 – 7:54 pm

Mamacita says: If one person offers to make popcorn for another person, and that other person declines the offer, and the first person says “Are you sure? I’m making popcorn and I’d be glad to make some for you, too,” and the second person insists he doesn’t want any, and the first person gives up [...]

Peanut Butter and Jelly and Bread, Oh Mice. . . .

September 22, 2010 – 12:05 am

I’m re-running this post from over three years ago because, you know, deja vu and stuff like that. Mamacita says: I got home from class late tonight, around 9:30, and had a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for supper. (We have less money than usual this week. Ouch.) As I looked at the containers, and [...]

Political Incorrectness and Me (Fair Warning)

August 8, 2010 – 9:54 pm

Mamacita says: Many of you will not like this post, and for that, I’m sorry. Then again, actually, I’m not sorry, because I believe I am right. I welcome anyone’s counter-argument, but if your intention is to enlighten me and change my mind, dream on good luck. I love airports, and I love riding on [...]

Quotation Saturday: Never Give Up, and Never Surrender *

June 12, 2010 – 2:35 am

Mamacita says: We all need to be reminded sometimes – probably more often than we ARE reminded – that we are only human, and that we can’t do it all by ourselves. Fortunately, as John Donne liked to remind us, no man is an island. This is the key to all education, no matter what [...]

Professors Are Mean. Here’s Why.

May 3, 2010 – 11:02 am

Mamacita says: Today is the first day of the rest of your life the last week of the semester – every student’s favorite week, naturally. I predict that several students will come to class NEXT week, and be all astounded and sputtery that the semester is over and they can’t take the final. But then, [...]

Sunday Songlist, Territory, and the. . . . RED PEN

February 28, 2010 – 5:20 pm

Mamacita says: the weekend is almost over – indeed, on Sunday afternoon, the weekend is as good as over because that’s when the depression starts, although it’s not as bad as it used to be. More than anything else, it’s the “have to get up in the morning as normal people always do” that hits [...]
