Mindy Kaling is my best friend! (OK I know I'm dreaming)

    I am about a quarter of the way through Mindy Kaling's new book and I had to put it down to write about it because I freaking love it! I thought her first book was amazing and this one is even better! Mindy Kaling is a comedic genius! I've looked at her instagram tags to see fellow readers pictures and it makes me so happy to see other people enjoy this book. The Mindy Project also started streaming on Hulu today so I guess I need a Hulu subscription now!

   I suggest buying this book because not only is it funny but there are some good truths. My favorite thing is her insight on weddings because I whole heartly agree with her stance. Have you purchased the book yet or even finished it?? If so how much do you love it??

    I've been rewatching the Office and Kelly is one annoying character but its because of how Kaling and the other writers wrote the character however Kaling's acting just hits it out of the park. Mindy is quoted saying that people think she is like her character Kelly but she's not. If she her personality is like how she write then you know that she's not Kelly. I do think they name drop similair but more in a loving George Clooney way but who doesn't?!

Have a great night!

My Own Little Village

    Don't you miss those family members or friends who live so far away? Don't you wish you could keep them with you all the time and they wouldn't have to be so far? I do, especially when someone gets hurt. I've always wished I had my own little village that all my family and friends lived in so we could all be together whenever we wanted. I hate being away from those I love who live miles and miles away. I really wish that now since I got a call last night that my grandfather who lives several states away is in the hospital. I wanted to get in my car and drive to see him but by the time I'd get there I'd have to leave to drive back.

    I know if I had this dream village that I wouldn't be able to keep every safe but at least I would be able to see them and hold their hand through it all. Even though he lives states away my grandfather is in good care with my grandmother and aunt. We aren't sure what happened exactly. There is a possibility it was another stroke, he's had one before, or a heart attack. Not sure which is worse. Another bad thing about not being able to see him and know how he's doing is that on that side of the family no one tells anyone when they are sick.

    My grandmother called 9-1-1 in the morning and my dad didn't find out till later in the evening when he was talking with my aunt. This is typical behavior for the family. So if we aren't all together how do I know he's really doing ok and they aren't just saying that so I don't worry. They also rarely go to the doctor when they are sick which is also something that worries me. If my grandmother called 9-1-1 that means something bad must have happened. I'm praying everything will work and he will be in good health soon again. Please keep my family in your thoughts and prayers and I will also keep you and your family in mine. I hope you and your families are all healthy and enjoying these last few days of summer!
