Well done Blu!!Yes it's HARD!

Hi Folks, Well you all know this is my first attempt at this and it might be my last. Here goes:
A. If my partner wanted me to play in hearts, I'd be playing it. Yes strange bidding but I pass. Let him play it.
B.  3 d. Pard could have 18 points. I'll leave it up to him.
C.  Could this be another Sayna 2H?  Other than hearts just a couple of queens and a J. 2H. Still thinking about it.
D.  I haven't seen it in print yet wherein Michaels is low count or high count. And I've tried it and don't like it. My partner and I
        open Michaels and if I have a good hand I'll bid again. It's always worked for us. Maybe I'll pay a visit to Larry.  2S or 2H. I'm in a quandary. Leaning toward 2H.
E.  3NT? I debated on this and finally decided this is too good a hand to bid anything else. Hearts to break 4/4, or partner may have help in hearts. Don't want to
           make a forcing bid of 3d, and see partner rebid 4c. So, 3nt it is.
F.  Only 8 HCP. I had a partner once who opened that light in 3rd seat but she had 10,000 ACBL MP. And it worked for her. I pass.
G. I don't relish the idea of bidding 2H. I could dble. As long as I have 4 pieces in one of the majors it could work. Still thinking about it.
H. And now we come to the lead. The leads have really done me in. But for now A H. Partner seems reluctant to get excited about his suit.
    So a good possibility hearts will make it around the table followed by the C Ace. If I was in that seat I think I'd be too chicken to double.
