The situation: Clutter in the vehicle. Disarray and "things" touching your elbow. Chris. Blood pressure through the roof, a partially shaking voice in frustration and a disgusted sigh as if one had seen maggots or something truly repulsive....Basically stating that this situation needed to be remedied before we could carry on in any sort of harmony. I think we were looking for something like a pen or a receipt. Me: Not phased in the least, I just lift layer upon layer of mess rummaging through it knowing I will eventually find it and adjust my body position around the crap cluttering us, stick my coffee in the door holder not really bothered or concerned if a little bit spills into the door. And i then I have to laugh, looking at the genuinely horrified look on his face as he prepares to tell me I have to not put my coffee there. I can actually see him visualizing the the drip and mess of my coffee in his door. Somehow although so truly different and seemingly incompatible...... we have something that still works. Still loves..... and when not in the middle of one of "these" moments... laughs about how ridiculously opposite we are sometimes.

I think if you had a sippy-cup for your coffee it would help to keep peace in our marriage :) .....ah yes Jillian we are very very different in some ways ..... and you are right...i now laugh at that story but the funny part is that last night at the car wash i actually checked to see if you spilled any drips inside the door....killed myself laughing when i read that you actually blogged about this....
hahahahahahahahahahaha. Shaun checks your blog sometimes (apparently more than I do...sorry) and said "you have GOT to read this!!"
You actually CAN see them visualizing what horrifying thing may (will definitely) happen.
PS. I assume you've had the discussion about the horrifying possibility that your water could break in the car...??
