My husband was out of town for work this week. (This happens often and I truly don't mind. It lets me miss him.) While he was gone a package arrived for him. We have this unspoken rule about not opening each others mail or boxes. Of course, we're always curious about the others purchases, especially those that come in boxes, but we respect the boundaries. And, yes, this applies to bills as well. Perhaps I should post about our "arrangements with money" and why we do what we do. It might be helpful for some. Or, maybe you don't care. I know I'm always curious how others do things, but of course never ask.
So, when he was going through the mail we had this convo:
Him: I think this is for you actually.
Me: It has your name on it.
Him: Well, I got you something. I think this is it.
Me: What is it?!? (I love presents, what girl doesn't?)
Him: Here you go... hands me a book...
Get Your Own Damn Beer, I'm watching the Game: A Woman's Guide to Loving Pro-Football
Me: Is this a joke?
Him: No, I really think if you understood the game you'd like it.
Me: Um, okay. (hesitantly)
So, this is his surprise for me. I have to admit, it DID make me laugh and I DID start reading it. Whether or not it will make a fan out of me has yet to be determined. I'll keep you posted...

Your husband sounds a lot like mine although mine doesn't watch football. LOL!!! I'm glad you at least got a giggle out of it but can't wait to hear if you start watching the games with him. :) XOXO
That's an interesting gift! He gets an "A" for effort.
