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

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. [...]

Quotation Saturday: Snow

Mamacita says:  Since southern Indiana has been covered with snow for two weeks now, I thought I’d use that same idea for Quotation Saturday.  The forecast for tomorrow night, indeed, is for more snow, but unless the “feel” of the air changes between now and then, I would put my money – if I had [...]

Things I Still Haven’t Done Yet

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.

I know they’re big stuff now, and I’m glad because they so totally deserve to be big stuff, but let it be [...]

It Ain’t Just Toddlers Who Melt Down

Mamacita says:  After a summer of rationalization and whining, I finally did get the yard work done today.  I feel so much better about my home when the lawn looks nice.  I do not want to be “THOSE people” when it comes to my lawn. I also HATE the sensation of wet grass slapping me [...]

Up, Up, and AWAY!

Mamacita says:  I’m leaving tomorrow to visit my brother and his family for a week, so I’ve tried to fill the refrigerator with all kinds of goodies.  I know it’s stupid,  because my husband is an excellent cook and is quite capable of feeding and caring for himself, but I have this annoying and very [...]

Southern Indiana Morel-ity

Mamacita says:
Yup, it’s that time of year in southern Indiana.
