For years, it had been my dream to marry a hotel manager. It sounded exotic and very glamorous to me. Sure enough, some years ago I married a hotel manager.
So has my life been all glamorous? Hum… Well… Packing boxes for your next move, going house hunting, finally unpack those boxes again – not very glamorous. But moving to various countries at least is exotic. And I haven’t regretted a single moment yet!
Hier geht’s zum deutschen Blog: http://wiewahrmexiko.wordpress.com/
I’ve just tagged you in my list of funny expat women bloggers (or what I’ve re-christened the “Versatile Blogger Award”). The post is here: http://wp.me/p2ctSb-qO
Oh my! I feel so honoured! Thank you very, very much!!!
Now it is my turn to nominate someone, right? Seems like I’ve got some thinking (and reading) to do!
I found your blog through expatlingo’s post. So glad she led me to you! I’m American and am married to a Mexican-American. Even thought we lived in the US when we were first married, I went through a culture shock just by marrying into his family! I was very reluctant to hand my firstborn child over to his grandma’s care in fear that my daughter would be returned to me with her belly button tied down (to prevent an “outie”) or that she would rub eggs all over my baby (to rid her of the evil eye). These are the things she did with other babies in the family. I think she left my baby alone since I’m a gringo
Oh, thank you so much, Melissa! I just read your post about the knife, the spatula and the window rim – great, now I have to fix my makeup again, since I was laughing so hard (my dog even got worried about me)!
I am glad things have turned out well for you so far re belly buttons and strangers…! Thank you for following my blog, I will make sure I follow yours, too. We all deserve a good laugh in this expat chaos (that we all seem to enjoy)!
Liebe Grüße and greetings from Norway, Norfolk and Bonn.
Have a lovely Sunday
Dina
Thanks, Dina! Now I am confused as to where to send my greetings… Well, I guess I just send them Europe-bound!
thanks for stopping by!

Best wishes from the Middle East to Mexico!

Thank you so much, Constance! What an honour!
Of course, it is with great pleasure that I accept, but I am afraid, it will take me a while to write the required post and nominate fellow bloggers – my parents are here for a visit, and they leave me little time to blog…!
Again, thank you so much and saludos to the Middle East!
Hola Kristin, Please take your time and enjoy your family. This does take a bit of work so please do not hurry. Best wishes, Constance
I’ve studied Spanish twice in Mexico (Puebla and Guanajuato). I have contemplated retirement south of the border, so I really enjoy reading your posts. Thank you.
Hi Rosemarie, and thanks for following my blog!
Please bare in mind that we live at the Mayan Riviera where life is very Caribbean. Friends and colleagues from other parts of Mexico keep telling us how different(and how much easier) life in other parts of the country is.
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy my little blog, and good luck with the decision making!
Hi Kristin! I trust all is well. I do enjoy your blog so much and as such I have nominated you for The Super Sweet Blogging Award. I hope you will accept when you have the time! It took me a while to get to mine as I had so much to catch up with when I got back from my trip! I see that you have had your family with you (previous comment) and I’m sure you have had a wonderful time. I remember thoses days so well!

Congratulations and I look forward to reading more of your wonderfully entertaining posts soon
Wow, thank you so much, Sherri! I have to admit I am far behind with my blogging stuff… Not only because my parents spent some time with us but also and mostly because I was busy giving birth to a baby boy! But slowly, I am finding my routine and will look into this award thing very soon!
Again, thanks a million!
