Well "brown" can make my whole day!! I LOVE getting packages in the mail! I don't know why, but even when I know what's in the package, and know that it's nothing of great importance, I just find something so exciting about the UPS truck pulling up and leaving a big box or extra large envelope on my doorstep! Today was no exception. Somehow, I managed to miss seeing the big brown truck drive down my street, and apparently missed the dinging of my doorbell, because when I took the kiddos outside to play I was pleasantly surprised by an oversized envelope leaning up against my door. Inside I found a book that I had ordered from Amazon by standup comedian and Marine Corps wife, Mollie Gross. I've watched several of her standup acts on youtube and follow her on Facebook. I've been anticipating the arrival of this book for about a week now, and am already several chapters in. Mollie gives a realistic and humorous outlook on what it's like being married to someone in the military. She doesn't hold back, doesn't sugar coat the truth, is somewhat crude and "unlady-like," and tells it exactly how it is! My kind of woman! What a breath of fresh air from the stuffy old books of do's and dont's and military protocol. I am having a hard time putting this book down long enough to bathe my child and type this blog! ;) I can already say I recommend it to military spouses AND civilians. The book gives wonderful and real perspective on what life is really like being married to a Marine. (or any other service member)
So, this post turned into somewhat of a book report. But it's been awhile since I've read anything that's had me so intrigued. But tt's John Wayne movie night in bed with the hubs, :) so I better scram.
Sweet dreams, y'all.
