Many people I know answer the question "What have you been doing?" with "I've been crazy busy..." (that's always the phrase: "crazy busy"). Me, I reply "not much". I receive invitations that start off with "We FINALLY found an evening when everyone is free..." I send invitations that say "let's get together, any time, we don't have anything else going on, so whenever is convenient for you". Yet, somehow, my kids play soccer and take ballet. They know most of the museums back door to front. They have playdates and parties. They are not malnourished, or brain damaged from too much TV. Both grownups have jobs. Our house isn't falling apart or ankle-deep in filth. (No, no housekeeper or other help.) It just sort of all gets done, sooner or later. And I can read a whole novel in a single day. [b]That's why God, in Her infinite wisdom, invented Legos. [/b]

And that's an interesting point about the relationships, PPs. I have close friends (like, donate a kidney close), and acquaintances. Pretty much nothing in between. I never made the connection, but it's true, I may be too lazy to establish and maintain dozens of superficial friendships. Like everything else in my life, only the things that are REALLY important to me ever get done.

Also, I give great hugs. [/quote]

I love this.  Re being "busy", [b]there was a wonderful Op-Ed in the NYT about why being "busy" all the time is not such a  good thing[/b]. It affirmed everything I secretly believe about our obsessive cheetah society. [/quote]
