HD,
She knows you are not there yet because you still want it.

Being comfortable with hearing no is the same as not caring whether it happens--in her book.

Personally I think it is the biggest load of horseshiit I've ever heard.

The day she becomes comfortable with you saying "No I don't think I'll clean the toilets for the next 6 months" then you can talk turkey.

My next message will contain something witty so that your mind is temporarily distracted. No sense in spending this lovely Thursday helplessly po'd at W today.

Btw, I drank a cup of reallllly strong coffee yesterday and it reminded me of smoking a cigarette. I wondered if this was part of the appeal of roasting your own beans...? That strength or 'bite' that is mostly missing from store bought beans.

Well enough of that. Hope your day is a good one!
