MEN v. WOMEN

MEN v. WOMEN
By: Kim Kasch (With help from her Friends Rena, Bob, and Diana)

Women glow – Men sweat
Guys worry – women fret
Women dine – men eat
Men are friendly – women sweet

Women shop – men buy
Men cut – women dye
Women love – men lust
Men control – women trust

Women converse – Men talk
Women stroll – men walk
Men lie – women pretend
Men have a buddy – a woman a friend

Women primp, pluck and spray – Men go any ‘ole way

Women sip – men drink
Women ponder – men think
Men yell - women scream
Men Plan - women dream

Women mope -- men rage.
Men mature -- women age.
Men seduce - Women flirt
Girls like fairies - Boys like dirt

So why should these two ever want to become one?
I’ve heard it’s because, doing it is so much fun.

Happy Birthday Dr. Seuss


I love Dr. Seuss - always have. And, today is his birthday!

My favorite story of his is The Lorax.

He was writing Green-Theme stories before it was the hot thing to do.

Way-to-GO Dr. Seuss, you speak for the trees.

ECOwomen Blogiversary Contest


Check out the all week-long giveaways over at ECOwomen. Prizes will be given out every day this week. Don't miss this opportunity to win Earth-Friendly prizes and more!

Writer's Resource Fair

Sunday I went to the Central Library for the Writer's Resource Fair.

There were publishing companies, writers, editing companies and more-all there showcasing their wares.

One company that had their friendly staff people on hand was Declaration Editing & Design.

De-klə-rā-shən - Says you should "Say it like you mean it"

All you writers out there, we all need a little editing now and then. This looks like a fun company you might want to consider: Declaration Editing and Design.
with helpful staff, you should check out their website and read more about their editing services which include: "Editorial Response Letters, Developmental Letters, Developmental Editing" and more.

Friends of Mystery
were on hand too. Their next meeting will be Thursday, March 25, 2010 with the Spotted Owl Winner, Phil Margolin & Robert Dugoni. This event will be at the Terwilliger Plaze, 2545 SW Terwilliger in Portland at 7:30 p.m.

Willamette Writer
had a booth and was promoting their Tuesday night meetings which are free to members and $10.00 for non-members.

Also the Oregon Council for the Humanities
was on hand and giving out complimentary magazines (and FREE is always a good price).

There were so many organizations on hand (and it was all FREE) that I can't put it all in one post. But next year, if you're in Portland, keep your eyes and ears open for this fun and informative event designed specifically for writers.

Hope you all had a fantastic weekend!
