Mamacita says: 1. Why does every packaged food item contain so much sodium? It’s ridiculous! Even the supposedly “diet” or “healthy” stuff is loaded full of salt. I’m serious; why IS that? It’s really difficult – and in most cases, it’s IMPOSSIBLE – to find salt-free processed food. Did the salt industry make a deal [...]

Mamacita says: It’s time for Ten Things Tuesday. 1. Cleaning out someone else’s house makes me want to go home and clean out my own house. Bare, blank walls. Stark, sparse furniture. Empty closets. Nothing in the attic or garage except bats and cars, respectively. To quote my lovely friend Monty, “I’m just sayin’.” 2. [...]

Mamacita says: 1. More snow, and more expected. Hub got another day off, so he’s going to drive me to school in a few minutes. I wonder if any of the students will be able to make it to town? 2. Bare trees covered with snow are absolutely beautiful. 3. The woods behind my house [...]

Mamacita says: 1. Winter storm warning. 6 inches of snow expected. 2. It’s snowing. 3. 14 degrees outside. 4. Sugar-free popsicles are pretty good. 5. When the ground is frozen solid, does the mortuary just store the bodies in the back room until there’s a thaw? How does that work? Wouldn’t digging with a jackhammer [...]

Mamacita says: 1. My sourdough starter is over twenty years old. The bread is delicious. Whenever I use it – and it’s been a while; the starter is currently residing in the freezer – I think about pioneer families, with starters that went back for generations; some starters made the long trip across the sea, [...]

Mamacita says: 1. Life can really kick you below the belt sometimes. 2. You’re never safe from being surprised ’till you’re dead.* 3. When someone is really, really busy, and isn’t watching the clock, something that should have been done on Tuesday might not get posted until Wednesday. I guess I could have set the [...]

Mamacita says: 1. We’re supposed to be on the receiving end of a mighty and majestic ice storm tonight. I hope not. I’ve got candy canes for my students tomorrow. I am hoping, since so many of them didn’t do well on the final, that when they look at their test and the “This sucks!” [...]

Mamacita says: 1. I have over a hundred essays that must be graded by tonight. 2. A bowl of fresh berries is wonderful beyond all description. Yogi Bear was right. (Boo Boo Bear was a cutie.) 3. I love Burt’s Bees tinted lip shimmers. 4. There are people who sit up nights thinking of new [...]

Mamacita says: There were times when “I’m late” meant something completely different. 1. I finally figured out the main reason I hate most rap: I can’t stand “near rhymes.” 2. I’m putting up my Christmas tree, which always gives me a bad nosebleed. If I tell you that I’ve collected wondrous ornaments since 1973 before [...]

Mamacita says: 1. BlogHer is eight months away, but I’m already counting down until it gets here! 2. I firmly believe that people who don’t like poetry probably had teachers who didn’t know how to present it. Ditto for Shakespeare. Done properly, both are wondrous! I also believe that it is inexcusable to not present [...]
