Life of Pi

 by Yann Martel


An adolescent's family and their remaining zoo animals are crossing the ocean to begin a new life in Canada.

  I love reading and my Master Plan for 2024 has a goal specifically about books.  Life of Pi, a story of ocean survival, I was surprised how much I did not like this book.  It took me forever to read it.  

For.  Eh.  Ver.  

This book might be one where the movie was better, and I hardly EVER say that!

What have you been reading?

    Interesting. I read this over 10 years ago and although I found it a bit odd in a few places overall I liked it. There was one line that I loved so much I made a note of it, I think it was quite early on in the book, when they were talking about faith and agnostics: "To choose doubt as a philosophy of life is akin to choosing immobility as a means of transport" and I really liked that!
    I tend to only read on holiday though, when I fly through books pretty quickly as I sit by the pool. When a book drags on it kind of sucks all the fun out of it doesn't it?

Have you ever been enjoying a nice, quiet day of crafting, then BAM your jar of ModPodge falls off the table, splatters across the floor, and onto one of your favorite toss blankets?  Well, that happened to me right in the middle of this project.  Talk about a big, sticky mess!  Not to worry, though.  We have hardwood floors.  First, a dish towel was used to mop up most of the glops.  I had the thought to use rug cleaner on the afghan and also sprayed foam across the glue swirls on my floor.  The toss blanket made a round in my washing machine and came out unscathed.  A quick wet mop restored my hardwood floors.  Now, back to my nice quiet day of crafting.

Friendsmas celebrations are such a wonderful way to spend an evening with girlfriends!  The plan for this year's party, besides snacks, is for each person to bring a $10 gift and we will swap.  It's nice to have a small something for everyone, though, so this is what I'm adding to the mix. Fizzy Soaking Salts!

Participating in craft challenges is just that.  A challenge!  I love how each one helps me think in different ways and pulls me out of any ruts I might be experiencing.  This one is all about sustainability.  For me that means:  Minimize purchases.  Upcycle wherever possible.  This time, I even grew something from seed!
