You guys! Sorry this is so late! I have a 20 page paper due tonight at midnight and only have 5 pages written, ahhh! it's okay though I will get it done and if it isn't done I will turn in what I have. Anyway... The book for this month was Mindy Kaling's book. So I know I put up some discussion questions and all but I wont be following all of those, just so you know.
First off, I love this book. She was so funny.
Favorite Office Kelly Moments:
I love when Erin tells her to go be mean to Jessica, its great when she makes Jessica feel all awkward. I love the Diwali episode, which is all about Kelly and her relationship with her co-workers. I love in the season finale when she finally ends up who she was supposed to be with the entire time. I hate how she is dating Ryan who treats her like crap sometimes, but yet I know they are perfect for each other. I love how her new year's resolution was to get more attention, so funny. I almost considered that one of mine. I love that she pops in for some great one-liners and then you don't see her for the rest of the episode. I just love Kelly, she is great.
What my life book will be called:
Why is everyone so short? Being tall is sometimes the worst
What its like being married to a ginger: The truth about red-heads.
Puppies: they solve everything.
That's all I can come up with right now but I know that whatever I did decide would be totally worth it.
I don't really have any friends I wonder about. The great thing about my life is that Facebook started to get popular right after I graduated high school in 2006. This was back in the day when you had to have a college email address in order to sign up for Facebook. All my college friends signed up and we all added each other as friends. I found a bunch of high school friends and then since I haven't ever wondered about somebody I was friends with back in the day. In fact, my two best friends Amanda and Laura, I am still friends with. We have known each other since 7th grade and have been friends for that long as well, its been so fun watching each other's families grow and its nice having them around. I love them dearly and its great that we live so close now.
I love talking about my marriage to other people. It has been the single greatest thing of my life. Zack is awesome! Being married to a ginger rocks! He takes such good care of me, has supported my hopes and dreams, listens to me vent for hours after I get home from a bad day at work. He seriously is the best and I am so lucky I have him.
I know that isn't a great review for the book, but I have been so busy with school lately. I also interviewed for a new job yesterday (which I am hoping I get) and it was a long interview process.
Well if any of you blogged about the book be sure to link it up down below.

March 2014 Book Club Discussion Question
Tomorrow I am headed out of town, to good old Albuquerque, New Mexico. I have a professional conference that I am presenting at there and I am really nervous about it. I will probably blog all about it tomorrow night while I am at the hotel, I mean hostel. We are probably staying at a dinky little place but hey what can I do, school is paying for it so I take what I can get.
Today I am going to post the discussion questions for the first book in our book club: Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me? (And Other Concerns) by Mindy Kaling. Check out this page here, for more info regarding the book club itself. If you haven't read the book yet, don't worry there is still time to do so before the discussion. It was a really quick read and I was rather surprised by that. Mindy is funny and keeps you engaged in the book. Remember that in a week from tomorrow (March 28,2014) I will post my review of the book and will do a link party so you can link your review to the book as well. I can't wait to hear all of your thoughts.
Discussion Questions
1) I loved that she included a list of alternate titles for her book after the intro, "Sometimes You Just Have to Put on Lip Gloss and Pretend to be Psyched." made me laugh the most. If you wrote a book about your life what would you have the titles be? (I cant wait to hear from all of you on this one, I bet you guys have great ones in mind)
2) Mindy talks about how her friend who she still wonders about later on in life, a friend she clicked with and got her started with her love of comedy. Do you have a person like this in your life? Someone who influenced you a lot and your thinking, yet you haven't seen or talked to them in a while?
3) I love the chapter titled "The Exact Level of Fame I want" and the details that she put into it. What is the exact level of fame you want?
4) Day Jobs, this was one of the more funny parts of the book for me. I related because I have gone through jobs so frequently lately. What has been your most interesting day job/part time work/ temp job?
5) Of course she talked about The Office in her book, how could she not? I love Kelly, and the role she plays in The Office. What are some of your favorite Kelly moments from the T.V. Show
6) I love the section on marriage and hearing her thoughts about in. How do you show others that you are "psyched" as she puts it for your marriage? How do people who know you, know that your marriage is the bomb? What would you say to someone if they asked you if marriage is worth it?
7) Finally what photos do you have of yourself on your phone? Cause lets face it, we all have photos we never share via instagram or Facebook. Maybe if you are brave enough you can share a few with us... I sure will.
Can't wait to hear all of your thoughts and of course you can write an overview of the book as well and your opinion on it as a whole. I just loved it.
