I feel like I could tell you just about anything and you would not bat an eye. And there are some crazy thoughts bouncing around in this head that I wouldn't share with A LOT of people. Thanks for being one of my bees. You, my dear, are one of a kind, and an absolute joy. And I totally had you as an introvert posing as an extrovert.
