The Verwers had their 70th birthday party on Saturday here in Forest Hill. Altogether, we estimate 350 people showed up. The weather was wonderful, and all in all, it was a fantastic event. However, it was a 12 hour day for the kitchen-elves, what with the setting up, and the food prep, and the serving. Needless to say, I was exhausted long before the event was over.
As a result, I decided to have a Pootle Day yesterday. I was introduced to the concept of 'pootling' by my sweet friend Helen, who also struggles with energy, or a lack thereof. She insists that after any day of physical exertion, a day of utter indolence must follow. My Pootle Day included reading a children's book (Prince Caspian), watching mindless television (America's Next Top Model Season 10- and yes, I think I did lose brain cells watching this), a nap, and a scrumptious brunch. What joy is mine!
