But......A Love/Hate Relationship

But......I really detest that word BUT I use it all the time. For some reason, I caught myself today using it in the context of "well, I know I (insert verb of your choice) too BUT at least I recognize it. Really? So what? Does that really make it any better. Does it really let me off the hook? On the other hand, it an option that's so convenient to access and slip into just about any sentence where I'm comparing myself to someone else. BUT what's a girl to do?
