Moving.. and arguing.. both covered here

Has anyone seen Jim's backpack? We might have already packed the backpack.... -- how funny is that.. he needs the backpack that we packed... lol Ok.. Onward and upward

It was brought to my attention today that I have a problem. (no shocker there)

I confuse "discussion" with "argument" -- like, I never like to discuss anything where the person I am talking to and I have very different opinions/ideas about the topic... there is really nothing wrong with a good debate, a good discussion, and I know that, but... I guess it came from my childhood. I guess it is part of my personality now. I avoid confrontation of any kind as if it is the plague. I am not 100% certain why I run from it so, but I really need to work on getting over that.

I don't like to argue, and I don't like it when anyone around me argues.. Husband says though (and he is right) that any time someone doesn't agree with my stand on something we are talking about, I get scared that they are "arguing" with me and want it to stop.

Not a lot else going on here. I miss responding to Rosie's posts on her blog.. but I was thinking.. that is pretty selfish. I mean, how good is it of me to feel like I need to comment to her on what she writes? How valuable do I think my opinion is anyway.. geesh... conceit.. I can only imagine how long it took her to read those comments, she prolly has a lot more free time now :):) - Tomorrow we are going to spend the entire day packing stuff up. I really detest the moving process.. packing, carrying boxes, then carrying them into the new place, and then unpacking.. ick ick.. but I am happy as I will be living in the same city as my mom, dad and brother, as well as a good friend :) Nothing will get me into shape like my mom.. I'm not kidding you :) she can be persistent!!!!!!!

Take care all, and if you have Lilacs near you, smell some :) I love the scent of lilacs and the scent of Jasmine :) :) Good stuff..
