Airport Agrivations and other Tales from the Trip....and More Smart People Awards

SO, I'm flying to Atlanta for work for the next five days. No problem. I started packing EARLY and I was ready to leave the house EARLY. For those of you that know me, this is big.

Smart people of the Day Awards
Now, understand, I'm not knocking people who chose to have children or chose to fly with them. My problem is the people that are not prepared. Just a sampling of conversations from the crew in front of me going through security: "Oh, what's that? I have to take my shoes off? And my child too?" "Oh, you mean I have to take liquids out of my bag?" "What do you mean you're confiscating my hairspray?" "I have to take off my earrings?" Seriously people? This flying thing is not that complex.

Maybe I'm just cranky from being out so late on my date. Hold on there, Tiger. Did she say date?

Yup. I had a very successful date with a very nice person. Actually, that's the confusing part. I usually only date assholes....I'm not sure what to do with a nice guy.

Oh, well....we're going out again when I get back from ATL....I promise there will be more dish.

Until then....Thanks for stopping by Mollywood!

Well, well, well

So, I realize its been FOREVER since I've posted anything. Well, sue me. I got a job and subsequently moved and got a life again. So, the blog fell by the wayside.

Well, I'M BACK BABY!

In addition to commenting on life, I'm also going to be updating you on my new business. I am now a Stella & Dot stylist. I'll be using this site to post party details, sales and style tips.

But don't worry, the sass isn't going away!

Stay Tuned!

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!
