{{{{Tawyna}}}}, I gave you some hugs back - I'm an extremely affectionate person, actually. W and I have a weird reverse thing - from sexual abuse, she is very cold and emotionally shallow, and I'm a big hugger, love everybody.
Glad I gave you a laugh - I'll catch up on that thread. I'm trying to poke my nose around - I feel like an old hand in reading emotions, etc, but I feel like a green newbie on actually putting things into practice. Only I could spend 2.5 years accomplishing nothing!
Our dog is an 85 pound red golden retriever - just the sweetest thing. I'll probably get a dog like that; my friend has a 40 pound blonde who is about perfect. They are the best, sweetest, most loyal dog - "Clifford" is lying on my feet right now.
The best thing about the floor is that we have been wanting to do it for 3 years - but I can't wait to see W's expression when she walks in. I'm not doing it FOR W, but the side benefit of seeing her face is going to make it oh, so sweet.
