The Progesterone Diaries

Dear Progesterone Diary... 

Dear Progesterone Diary: 

You and I are one day into our relationship and I have to say, you don't smell so good. I mean with ingredients like Extract of Wild Yam and Red Raspberry, I would think you wouldn't be quite so offensive, but I was wrong.   God forbid your makers put a little fragrance in you. My funny funny friend (grrr) says maybe it's designed that way....to keep the men away.  Ha ha funny friend. Let's see you laugh when my heel goes in your eye. I mean that  can't possibly be the reason. Who in the hell else would we abuse? Back to the lab on that one doc funny. What can I say, he's a guy, enough said. 

So back to this whole fragrance thing...directions say "apply 1/4 tsp. twice daily on inner arms, wrists, palms of hand, thighs, face or neck." Great as if that's going to get me laid. Now, I thought the whole idea here is to decrease aggression, neuroses and psychotic episodes? Hmmm...You and I are going to be discussing that a lot more, but for now I'll trust in the experiment. Anyway, I have loads to do...talk to you soon.

3 Great Sources for Blog Content via SocialTechBlog.com

3 Great Sources for Blog Content

Have the desire to blog but just can’t get inspired?

1.       Expand on comments from previous blog posts.  Comments are a great source for new and expanded content.  Find hot buttons and see where they can take you.

2.       Write about what you are currently reading.  Get into the habit of making notes of concepts that resonate with you then blog about it.  Expand on ideas and add your own perspective.

3.       Look back through old files on your computer and you may be surprised when you find unfinished projects, forgotten musings and unused media (like the cartoon above).  

Got other ideas?  Let’s hear your comments.

"The Florida Review" -- A Mining Excavation in Death and Creatures

Help me buy my way to an "A"...

 

Click here to subscribe

 

As an intern with "The Florida Review" Literary Journal, I have had the opportunity this semester to read, review and critique a multitude of submitted manuscripts from authors seeking publication in the journal. This has been one of the highlights of my semester. When I began the semester I chose to read any genre submission: Poetry, Fiction or Nonfiction. I picked my way through a lot of coal. The work at times laborious and exhausting, but every so often I would come across rough stone that with some polishing, would be worthy of publication. One of the first nonfiction manuscripts I took home for a weekend, a near sixty page piece, I could not put down. In fact, I read it twice and brought it in the following week to the intern "hot box" with a shining recommendation. I was so excited about mining this piece, I could not stop talking about it. Because of that piece, I ended up narrowing my focus toward reading the nonfiction pieces. I snatched new submissions as they entered the "just-in" box, eager for another fresh-find. Interestingly, the nonfiction category receives the least amount of entries, or so it seems but I discovered something interesting: Death and creatures. Yes, death and creatures. The majority of nonfiction submissions I read touched on those two topics. In one week I read about two murders, three attempted suicides, and four creatures: Peacocks, hummingbirds, a bat, and a turtle. Scratch that a murdered bat and a dying turtle. While some of those were pretty good, others were less than stellar. Next week is the my final editorial meeting of the semester. Collectively, our small group interns will gather at the round-table to hash out exactly what gets published in the next journal. I will be one of the collaborative voices pushing, debating, discussing and voting on making the next issue the best yet. The journal has a long history of publishing excellent work, from talented writers, but never before have I had an opportunity to be a part of its publishing team. This is where I need your help. Part of our assignment is to find new subscribers. A subscription for the year consists of two issues, mailed "hot off the press" for only $15.00.  It is not a recurring (although I have a feeling you'll become hooked) and makes a thoughtful gift. Would you click the link below and subscribe to a year of "The Florida Review" literary journal. My G.P.A. and I would be quite appreciative. Amazon.com Widgets

Thank you in advance, Cassie

Central Florida Future - Dogs, Dishes, Divorce and Deadlines

...And for God's sake quit poking me.

As far as social networking platforms go, Facebook is pretty user-friendly.

Keeping up with distant friends and relatives has never been easier. Let's face it: we all wonder what that super-cute kid we had a crush on in elementary school looks like these days. You know, the one that we would follow home hiding behind the bushes so he did not see us (oh . . . maybe that was just me).

Granted, I could live without the picture of me in the hideous Rainbow Bright-meets-Paul Bunyan flannel (and you thought it did not exist), memorialized in my online photo album by a fellow high school dance corps member, but it's all in good fun.

However, if I ruled the world (or knew how to make a Facebook app), I would invent both an app incinerator and an E-mail zapper. Seriously, I have had it with the quiz thing and apps posting on my wall before I give permission.

Take for instance - ugh - Farmville! Die, piggy-cow. Die, Farmer John. Insert evil laugh here.

Maybe I am just a "bad" friend, but frankly, I do not care what animal you will be when you reincarnate. I don't want to have a pillow fight, snowball fight or a mafia-vampire war. I don't want to play in your garden or swim in your sea. No thanks; don't want a heart, or smiles, flowers, candy, cards, drinks, croissants, angels, lollipops, guns, knives, midgets, vibrators . . . Ok, I have not seen the last two, but I'm sure it is only a matter of time.

But you get my point, right? I even had someone send me an app invite called "I want to make love to you."

Really? Get a life.

Now, I realize you can block an app after someone posts on your wall by clicking on the icon and selecting %u201Cblock application%u201D on the apps page, but it%u2019s a pain-in-the-butt and I'm full-up in that department, partly because I%u2019m swamped by 769 inbox messages.

I wish it were easier to filter and block Facebook messages. I am either dense or technically illiterate because I cannot figure out how I became guests of events and groups when I have not chosen membership.

If I had my way, I would be a message-blocking ninja.

My dear friend says, "If I didn't speak to you in grade school, haven't in 20 years nor at any organized reunion we mutually attended, why would I want to read about what you are having for lunch?"

Amen!

Oh, and before I forget: just because we are Facebook friends, does not give mean sending me a text at 2 a.m. is Ok.

It's not! It only took one of those before my privacy settings were changed (although I confess, I did consider throwing a flaming cow-patty at the offender, but that app was not available . . . yet.)

So, want to be friends? I promise I will not infest your profile page with random, virtual-diseases.
