Wife of a Purchasing Manager

Once again, I've failed to maintain some sort of routine in writing here. Often, I think of great things I want to write about, but alas life comes into the way and it just doesn't happen. I apologize for that.

We're finally pulling our life together and getting settled in our house. No puppy yet, but it's on the list. It's quite a feat trying to shop. Being the wife of a purchasing manager can be tedious. Yes, a woman complaining about a husband who loves to... lives to... shop, and shop, and shop. Ugh! We literally have to go to every story in the city... and not just that, but every chain of every store... to see where we can get the best value for our money. M's not at all cheap, but he likes to know that he is geting the most out of his money. The culture of shopping and bargaining here in Panama has turned M into a monster. He refuses to buy a major item unless he gets a deal of some sort. Even if it's 5% off.

Frustrating... but hey... we have great stuff!
