What a day! It was wonderful!! I met some great people and had lovely conversations about food, lifestyles, veganism, frustration about food choices at grocery stores, and just some general good convo with good people. But what an amazingly exhausting day! I guess the stress of the past few days of organizing everything and arranging everything and baking everything, it finally caught up with me! So, I drove myself home in an empty Sadie...still smelling like a car jar ;), walked in the door and made a martini (please note, this is where the title of this blog is explained)...I made an extra dry martini with 3 olives...sat down on the couch and soaked in the silence and comfort of doing absolutely nothing....except for exerting the effort of swirling the olives in my martini glass. All I could do at this point is watch the olives swirl around the glass and anticipate their sheer deliciousness...I couldn't think about anything else...anything at all! My brain was like a mushed pumpkin chocolate chip cupcake, which were by the way quite the hit today! I am utterly exhausted! The last time I felt this exhausted and exhilarated at the same time was when I finished my comps for grad school...when the committee came back and said I passed...same exact feeling...like I had only the energy for twirling olives in a martini glass with great jubilation!
So...I did it all...and all the while maintained my mantra from the last blog...make whoopie at all costs! Now to bed...after of course, another martini!
