Just like the oranges, you can put a "grown in Florida" stamp on me, although the trees that I came from were grown in the Mid-West! I'm the only child to two of the most head-strong people you'll ever meet in your life....so just imagine what I'm like. MollyWood was discovered in Dothan, Alabama during a road trip with my Mom in the Summer of 2000 and its stuck ever since.

I am a 29 30 year old, single girl, living in Tallahassee, Florida. I don’t have any pets, don’t ask. Until recently, I worked too many hours to make sure that anything that couldn’t just be left out in the rain didn’t die. Also, I figure, by not letting any cats in my house, I’m putting of spinsterhood for at least two more years. I’m a Leo, and NO, I don’t believe in Horoscopes, but I do think they’re fun to read! Plus, if you ever read a description of a Leo, its so me, its frightening!

Just in case you aren’t familiar with MollyWood’s official language, sass has some synonyms: audacious, bold, brash, brazen, cheecky, forward, fresh, irreverent, jaunty, pert, sarcastic, saucy, smart, snippy and wise (thank you Al Gore for inventing the internet!).

I am a true child of the 80’s. Both of my parents worked, so I started with pre-school. I have a long-standing love of television - good, bad and in-between. Our house was a fun place to grow up. Mom is a teacher, so her schedule and mine were very similar. And she started teaching kindergarten when I was in kindergarten, so she was a lot of fun too. Dad is a lot more straight laced, but he can loosen up and be silly, just like Mom and I. So our house was loud, muscial and fun….you’re jealous aren’t you?

In 1996, I left Pete and Nancy (Mom and Dad) to attend The Florida State University in Tallahassee. I am a ravenous college football fan, GO NOLES! Seriously, I had lunch with Bobby Bowden in August. When I graduated in 2000, I channeled my fear of growing up and becoming an adult into an application to grad school. I got accepted to Auburn University, in Auburn, Alabama. Moving to Alabama was a complete shock to my Florida-grown system. My standard explanation when people asked if I liked it was “They do things a little different in Alabama.” Which, by the way, is absolutely true. When Reese Witherspoon said “People need a passport to come down here,” she wasn’t kidding.

After a brief stop in Atlanta (Hotlanta or the ATL) and two years doing PR with a child welfare agency in Florida (doesn’t that sound like fun?) I ended up with the American Cancer Society. I loved that job. I was made for that job. I got to plan events, talk to friends and make new ones and raise money for a fantastic cause. My type-A personality lends itself very well to meeting goals and deadlines…..we call it “goal-driven” at our house, not “goal-oriented.” And I was doing such a good job that I applied for an got a promotion to be the executive director in Tallahassee in under 2 years. So now in addition to all that, I got to manage a staff of 4 and a fundraising budget of over $1million. But after two and a half years, it was time for me to move forward (at least that’s what they told me).

So here I am, I turned 30 three days ago, with no job and prospects out the wazoo I have decided that enough of my friends and family enjoy my sassy comments, so I thought I would share my opinions with the rest of the world. So feel free to comment and let me know what you think. Try to make me laugh please!
