How to deal with nosy people

Another funny little tidbit from my girls weekend. KD, the one who is sure she doesn't want to have kids, is a bit of a rough around the edges tough girl from Brooklyn. L and I were seriously scared of her when we first met her as freshman.

Anyway, brought up how she hates when people ask her if she's planning have children, when she's going to be pregnant, etc. So what does she like to do when faced with these questions...with a completely straight face and sad tone, she will say "I can't have children." (which isn't true, that she knows of anyway.) People will react with shock and sadness. And then she will say..."Actually, I'm lying, but how do you think you would have just made me feel if that was true?"

As mean as that is to pull on someone, I just wanted to hug her. I did tell her thank you on behalf of all of us. That's the kind of awareness you just don't expect from people, especially not scary girls from Brooklyn.

On another note, I'm feeling really behind in life. I'm getting busier at work, I'll be going back to Buffalo two more times before Christmas. We're traveling to see my mom for Thanksgiving, Hubby has been working literally non-stop. So between my travel and his work, I feel like I've barely seen him in weeks. And, I've been fighting a stupid sinus headache all week. It's the kind that's so deep in your head that your nose isn't actually stuffy, but you feel sort of loopy and dizzy and headachy. I really want to get my crafty mojo back on, and get some stuff done around my house so it will look nice for the holidays, but It's hard to motivate to do much when I get home from work. I do have to give myself credit though, because I have managed to get on the elliptical for a half hour for the last two nights. So, I guess I'm getting something productive done. It's just that I'm starting to feel like Christmas is already over, and it's not even Thanksgiving yet. Does anyone else ever feel like time move way too fast with not enough to show for it?
