Whew…….
300 pages in less than 3 days. Usually, 300 pages is nothing. A wasted afternoon spent curled up with a good book. But THESE 300 pages were an out and out struggle.
At times I was so angry and frustrated by what I was reading I wanted to throw the book away. We went to the beach and I had a nice 15 minute rant about the content off the book and it’s apparent uselessness. Never have I read a book so determined to make it absolutely clear the minute chance of success in any venture for real change. I finished reading and thought…. so what’s the use of even teaching or learning?? Evidently… there’s no hope for change and we are failing miserably except in a few situations which the author repeatedly reports as extremely rare and due only to people who have inherent leaderships skills.
Needless to say… I’m glad that’s over! Now to finish the rest of the assignment. Hoorah.
I have a whole list of vocabulary words for you… I thought that I would post them tomorrow and instead of posting the definitions… have everyone make up their own.
The family, for instance, has come up with it’s own definition for : fungible — (warning…. potty humor ahead) — Having the capacity to fart at will.
It wasn’t my definition! I just laughed at it. That’s all. Now consider this… this was conceived coming home from church the other night. What were we talking about??? Who knows…. I can’t remember, but it was funny and there was a lot of riotous laughter. All I remember is fungible.
Do you like to read? And have you every had a book that you had plow your way through?

The last time I read a book that I hated was in school. Now, I only read if there is absolutely nothing else to do. And with two kids there is always something to do…lol…I like to read romance novels, especially those that take me off into the midevil times, with the knights in shining armor. I like the fantacy part of it all. Silly, huh?
