Rambles With No Easy Answers

Mamacita says:  Women who had difficult labors probably hate me already right now, but I’ll go ahead and make it worse: I loved being pregnant. I felt GREAT.
Even when I was sitting still, doing nothing, I was still doing something wonderfully productive.  I was euphoric.  I felt very off-balance, but I’m so inclined that [...]

BlogHer, Blackberries, Amtrak, and Twitter. Oh My.

Mamacita says:  Before I forget, click HERE and laugh.  I do love humor that requires a lot of prior knowledge.  This cartoon almost made me wet my pants.  Almost.  ALMOST.  Shut up.
Before I really calmed all the way down from last year’s BlogHer, it’s almost time for this year’s BlogHer.  My adrenaline level is pumping [...]

Ten Things Tuesday

Mamacita says:
1.  It didn’t rain today, and all the plants, animals, and people are in shock.  I mean to say, we don’t know what to do with ourselves.  We’re peeking out of the ark and seeing sunlight.  I guess one of us should send a dove out to scope for land.

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

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 [...]

Things I Haven’t Done Yet

Mamacita says:  I’m really not a very cool or adventurous person, and many of the things I’ve never done are done every day by most people.  I get that “raised eyebrow oh really” face from others, a lot.  Sigh.
1.  I’ve never used an ATM machine.  That’s always good for some “oh really” expressions.
2.  I have [...]

That Was Then, and This, Unfortunately, Is Now

Mamacita says:  Even when I was a child, I was a reader.  Not just a reader-in-school, either; I was a READER.  When I wasn’t climbing the apple trees next door, skating around the block, or riding my bicycle, I was reading.  I read at home.  I read at church.  I read at school, between little [...]

Let’s Do the Time Warp Back Then*

Mamacita says:  We’ve got to get out of this trap! Before this… decadence… saps our wills. I’ve got to be strong, und try to… hang on! Or else, my mind may well snap! Und my life… will be lived…  for ze thrills…
I’m listening to the soundtrack from The Rocky Horror Picture Show, and it [...]

I Joined A Gym

Mamacita says:  Whenever I wear sneakers, my feet feel really bulky and heavy.  I feel as though I’ve got two barges on the ends of my legs, or maybe those gigantic slippers that look so much like real furry animals, they scare people when they open the closet door and see them on the closet [...]
