What office are you considering? A Statehouse seat or a Congressional one?

When will your name be on the ballot?

You'd better get your "life" in order. Clean your closets, clean your cupboards and get ready to say goodbye to the "real world". You won't have much time to yourself once you make a solid commitment. And if you win, it will get worse.

Lower your housekeeping standards. Teach your husband to cook and do laundry,,, if he doesn't know his way around the supermarket,,, he's gonna have to learn,,, or starve.

Oh, and by the way, I'm glad you've decided to take the leap.

I know, I know! Fortunately, Mr. M already does laundry. I'll probably be bending your ear in coming months as I plunge into this (it's a house of delegates seat).
