Confessions of a Desperate Housewife

When I picture a desperate housewife (thanks to reality TV) I picture a wealthy woman- thanks to her husband- who basically hangs out all day shopping or going to lunch with her fellow housewives, travels all the time, more shopping, eats coldstone daily, works out daily, gets pampered weekly, goes to fancy events on the weekends, etc.

Friends, I have a confession. I believe I am turning into a desperate housewife. A poor version, mind you!

Most of you know that a couple months ago Reese got an amazing offer at work to relocate to Santiago, Chile to open an office down there to expand his company's software and open up a call center. Reese didn't even have to call me before he accepted the offer. It is a great opportunity for him to expand his work experience and to use his spanish.
I LOVE to travel, and for the most part I'm up for any type of adventure that includes travelling to another country.
So the plan was to be in Chile anywhere from 6 months to 1 year +. The plan was to leave the end of September. It being the end of October, and Reese and I still being in Mesa... It obviously didn't work out like we first thought. Long story short, his company didn't get into the program (through the Chilean government) that they wanted to, so our trip details have changed a bit. We may still go to Chile this year, but only for a month... And next year we will go back and forth two or three times before the move becomes semi-permanent. So it's kind of confusing. But back to me. (Cause we all know this blog is all about me and how great I am)

Anyways, because we thought we were going to be leaving the end of September, I un-enrolled from school... and we were able to sell 12 West Main in September... so I was all squared away to leave. No work or school commitments.

We are at the end of October and I still have no school or work commitments. Hence my transformation into this:
How does one look so fabulous while sleeping on the couch. My version looks like something you see on an airplane. You know... mouth open, weird sleeping position.

I wish 5 of my friends didn't work or go to school too so they could come shopping with me. Usually it's me and my water bottle... wondering the isles of Target.

I would love to have my own hairstylist everyday- but for the most part its just me ruining the ozone layer with my hairspray.

Thats Liisa and me... She's the one in the pink sports bra. I wouldn't be caught dead in a pink one!

And in our short 15 month marriage. Reese and I have gone on holiday or lived in:

Arizona
Puerto Rico
District of Columbia
Virginia
West Virginia
Pennsylvania
Maryland
New York
South Africa
Botswana
Utah
California
New Mexico

So there has been lots of moving around. All our wedding presents are still in their original packaging, waiting hoping to be used. They are currently sitting in my parents entry way. You see, we are staying with them till we depart to Chile.

I am aware that there are some not so lovely qualities of a desperate housewife... One that comes to mind is this:

If you're still reading my blog in 30 years, I will add that to my list!

So friends... hope that Reese and I go to Chile soon so I don't have to continue my desperate housewife habits!
