Three weeks ago I was elected as a member of the local village council and a representative to the regional council. The nomination, the election, and the appointment happened very fast.

Best of luck on the political front. IMO, the best thing to do is listen to folks, and be honest about your positions. There is always a game going on, you'll become adept at playing it.

Thanks, droops :) It's good advice, and coming from you, I especially appreciate it.

Man, you make me feel incredibly lazy, uninspired, and generally useless!

I can't believe all the different things you do and have your fingers in. You're the woman I want to be.

Wow, thanks :)

But, erm, I don't want to make you feel lazy, etc. I want to inspire! Can I inspire, please? ;)

(and the funny thing is, that I sometimes really envy full-time-job moms...)
