Welcome to MollyWood!: Kinda Cool

Kinda Cool

I did something kinda cool today! I applied to adopt a soldier through SoldiersAngles.com. I have a good life - even though this has been a rough year for me. I read about this in Real Simple and its something that I can do. You make a six to twelve month commitment to send a letter once a week and one to two care packages a month to an assigned soldier. It just seems like a cool project, and I have a feeling that if I'm approved, that my family will probably get involved as well.

So, fingers crossed that I get approved, and more fingers crossed that if I do, that I get someone cool.

On another note - I had an interesting night at home last night. I am so excited that I'm in a house and not living with a shared wall next to the white trash neighbors. I'm also REALLY excited that I can play music as loud as I want, sing along and dance around the house and NO ONE will ever know!

Have a great week. Eat lots of turkey!

MollyWood loves you!

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~~ 30-something year old, single girl, living in Jacksonville, Florida. 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.

This blog has changed a lot since it started. I 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!
