Large Straight:<\/b> a double rainbow over Flyinge as I drove home yesterday
\nSmall Straight:<\/b> the Festis juice bottles in my refrigerator: green, yellow, orange, red<\/p>\n
I’m in the middle (yes, still) of reading A Jest of God by Margaret Laurence, and I’m really having to force myself to finish. We read one of her books in book group some months ago and afterwards I borrowed several more of her books from a friend and devoured them. The only one she didn’t have was this one, so I put it on my “books to buy” list and my mother found it at a used bookstore and mailed it to me in one of her periodic and extremely welcome book care packages. What a disappointment it’s turning out to be. I can’t believe of all Laurence’s books, THIS is the one they chose to make a movie<\/a> out of. Although, apparently the movie was Paul Newman’s directorial debut with Joanne Woodward in the lead role, and got 4 Oscar nominations, so maybe I should just ditch the printed version and go rent the film. I just keep wanting to slap the title character and tell her to SNAP OUT OF IT.<\/p>\n Tonight is choir, and I’ve missed the last two weeks, so despite not really having the funds, I’ve asked Erika to babysit, since Anders’ parents weren’t available. Maybe I should put up one of those websites asking strangers to send me money to finance my life. haha!! ha.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Large Straight: a double rainbow over Flyinge as I drove home yesterday Small Straight: the Festis juice bottles in my refrigerator: green, yellow, orange, red I’m in the middle (yes, still) of reading A Jest of God by Margaret Laurence, and I’m really having to force myself to finish.
