Army Wives

This is painful to admit. Mournfully so. Dare I even say it? I'm addicted to Army Wives. How could this have happened?

Well, my mother practically forced me to order the first season on Netflix. Just try it once, you'll like it, you only have to take 3 bites ... sounds like kind of like her pushing broccoli on an unsuspecting six year old.

So the DVDs came in, and I grudgingly placed the first disc in the player around 8pm. I watched the first episode, then the second, then the third, then the fourth, well you know where this is going. At 4am, I forced myself to turn off the television and go to bed. The next evening after work, I rushed home, (without even stopping to pick up dinner) and proceeded to watch the rest of the season.

Y'all, this show is funny, heart-warming, and full of soap opera drama. You get hooked into these characters' lives like you're one of them - you know who's sleeping with whom, who's thinking about sleeping with whom, and just waiting your turn to share your gossip. It's pure Lifetime, girly mush. And I love it.

So, yes. I'm addicted to Army Wives. But please don't tell my mother. I hate to admit when she's right.
