Nina, I'm so glad!  I totally understand your fear of jinxing her, though. I always feel that way. There is a Yiddish word that people say after saying something good, which in its abbreviated and most used form is "kinnahurra." I am not sure exactly what it means, literally, but its purpose is to avoid the "evil eye" which is apparently attracted to people being presumtuous about good things happening. Or something like that. Anyway, I say it about a hundred times a day! Michelle
