*snickers* The "trust me" was actually in reference to the wedding date. But, as long we've somehow gotten on the subject...I didn't say Erin was a Cancer. If anything, using my date-of-choice (though yours works well too, and for the same reason) makes her a Gemini (which I know, because I base her birthday on my mom's, and I know that my mom and i are both Geminis...the twins, doncha know ;-)).

And also...oh, I think I'm going to adore your Erin. I'm very much looking forward to anything you write with her. *g*

And, earth, so: green for your room, with wood furniture, and gauzy curtains to brighten things up a bit. See what asking the internets gets you? (Probably lousy advice, actually, but still.)
