Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me?


We met at Greta's beautifully decorated home for a special Christmas edition of book club that included a wonderful addition- Jessica!  She had barely landed in Dallas before heading to our meeting, and it was so good to see her.

Over Indian food (what else?) we discussed Mindy Kaling's comedic book before retiring to the living room for a book swap and gifts.  Some of the topics we discussed were:

  • Comedians are often hit or miss, and some topics will relate better than others depending on the person
  • Some preferred her book to Sedaris, but some did not.
  • The balance of pursuing a dream with hard work vs. lucky breaks
  • The organization (very non-linear) of the book and the embellishment aspect of stories
  • The author's various lists

Fun Facts:
Jessica was with us- we have missed her since she moved!  That's worth mentioning twice.
Greta really did her research about this book, the author, and the Office!
Jordan is actually quite good at gift-wrapping.
Nancy mastered wearing a scarf.
