how do you know when you are a real housewife?

For my friend, Robin, it was when she discovered that she was using empty whipped cream containers for tupperware. For me, it was this Christmas. I got everything I wanted: a new set of pots and pans (I was using the set my husband's mother gave him in college!), a blender, a steamer basket for veggies, an electric skillet, and a PRETTY laundry hamper! I got none of these things when we got married in 2005. It's pretty sad when you think you're hot stuff because all of your kitchenware "matches".
