What we do all day...

Wondering what the typical day of an ex-pat's wife in Brazil is like?  Are you a trailing spouse? I posted about the dreaded: "What do you do all day" question a few weeks ago, the truth of the matter is that no one from back home actually believes that things - basic things - take as long as they do to get done here.  Like a month for internet for instance.  3 months for a cell phone (no I still do not have my blackberry! This is actually a temporary cell phone). Blondie in Brazil has written about the "what we do all day" topic as well, take a peek.
