Thanks for the advice guys! Denver, you're right, not coming down until Saturday doesn't really matter, except for the fact that if she's coming down Friday, then she'd want me out of the house on Friday as well... So adding a little intrigue into the statement seems like a good idea...
And no one thinks that response sounds too cold? I know she's used to me writing more lengthy responses and that by not doing that, i'm showing a different side... I just don't want to come off as flippant...
You DO want to come across as flippant. You are living your life, not concerned about what she is doing or thinking. THAT is where you should be. And if not, faking it until you get there. Do not concern yourself with what she is thinking right now, or how she will react to anything that you might say or do. It is not your responsibility.
She is used to you writing more lengthy responses. THAT is why you need to be doing the exact opposite. She needs to believe that you are moving on with your life... regardless if that is true right now or not.
BINGO. I'd probably use "carefree," or "upbeat, but busy" than flippant, but Denver describes the overall attitude better than I can.
Simultaneously build mystery & intrigue, demonstrate that you're not simply waiting like a puppy dog for her beckon call, and also that you are changing.
