I mean, you are amazing and organized and great at sinking your teeth into something, but seriously. Wow. <br /><br />I can't answer your question.. *sighs* but I can ask one back - when you say "drive Mike crazy," I ask "crazy, how?" By doing what specifically? What's made him wanna pull his hair out so far? Perhaps he should guest-post?! <br /><br />I'm curious to know more of this,... I think it may be why guys put off asking.... no? All this planning and things to do...? Perhaps this should be an email convo. ;)Alicia Celestehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13585968744807514712noreply@blogger.com
