Gotcha! I made the offer but stated clearly that only if she was comfortable with it, I said I'm OK either way "just wanted to offer". She also asked me whether I would prefer to go to the Second Cup near her house, I said that was fine. We'll firm things up later in the week. I told her Sunday I wouldn't be on the computer much cuz my kids were with me this week, so I check in once a night, send her an email re: our plans but no half hour email sessions. I really am under control Barb...really! She seems to really like me being me though, which is nice. She likes my chatty little emails. She also seems to just say things she feels rather than sitting around and figuring out what is the strategic thing to say. I like that cuz I'm like that too.
