I have had the experience over the past couple of years of being offered jobs out of the blue. Each time it has been excruciating to say no because they were jobs I had previously really wanted and had defined as success. One difference between being offered an office job rather than something like a book deal is that there is a clear choice between at home or away from home. Although it means swallowing my ambition for a while longer, I know that the job I really want to be a success at is mothering my kids. congrats on your decision!

Crap - I wish I had gotten the Waring blender for my husband's bday - instead of a kitchen aid - the power just is not the same/as good. And I love the retro look... Enjoy the SHOW!
