I bought this book on the ferry's gift shop from Vancouver to Nanaimo last year. The ferry ride was about 2 hours. As I browsed the gift shop, I came upon this little book and thought it was cute. Then I came home and forgot I even had it. As I was reorganizing my room, I came upon it again. And as I flipped through the pages, I realized I've done many of the things listed. So I thought I'd share it with you.
