Possibilities?

Maybe?

Hmmm?

I still don't know. This poor fireplace wall is gonna start resenting me for being so indecisive. It's only because I care so much Mr. Fireplace.

Attention Molly's Condo:

MISSING SWEATER

I am missing my giant purple sweater. You must have it somewhere. I know you know the one, it's giant, purple, goes almost down to my knees, can look really casual with jeans, or with leggings can be passed off as a dress even though it feels more like big comfy pajamas. Please return it.

Thanks.

Your humble owner,
Molly

Newest additions to Casa de Molly...

As some of you who know, I am redecorating and painting and all-together make-overing my home. It's taking a long time. I don't have a lot of excess funds to do this with. I do however have my two hands and a chipper spirit towards the whole endeavor. Who cares if I've only painted 50% of the walls so far? That's 50% more then I started with. This month, thanks to Christmas, I have some excess funds with which to get moving again.

Here are my 3 most favoritist recent additions to the homestead:

A lovely new mirror from Pier One.


Lovely new bedding from Target.

A lovely new art print.

That last one is my personal favorite, probably because it is the most recent item purchased. It's a print done from a watercolor/acrylic illustration by the talented Katie Daisy. Check out her Etsy shop and swoon.

It feels good to make my place my own. This weekend my goal is to clean out my closet and storage unit to make room for the things I actually need to store, not things I threw in there when I moved because I was too lazy to sort through everything at the time.

I am still having issues deciding on a paint color for my fireplace wall. I just can't make up my mind. Hopefully sometime soon I can make it to Ace in between cleaning out mess piles to get some paint samples. Then maybe I'll make my mind when I see them taped/painted on the wall. Or it will just make me that much more confused.

We shall see...

For A Day Like Today...

May today be filled with the kind of happiness and rosy cheeks only the bubbly can bring.

It's all too much...

I'm addicted to entertainment. What's going on? I currently have 2 library books, a third on the way, 2 books borrowed from people, 2 books I have been reading for 2 years, an entire season of Futurama and Chuck Season 1 borrowed from friends, along with 2 discs of The Wire to watch from Netflix, a DVR full of various TV shows and movies, a design blog addiction, and a Nintendo DS with two games left to beat: Super Mario Brothers and Professor Layton and the Diabolical box.

The funny part? My life is kind of like this right now. I work 3 jobs up to 6 days a week, I'm on 2 improv teams, one of which rehearses twice a week, I play piano, I write, sing and probably my favorite part are the auditions and acting related events. Not to mention I am enrolled in two classes, one improv, one acting, a gym nut, try to cook regularly, bake sweet things and am smack dab in the middle of cleaning out/painting/re-furnishing my home.

Sometimes I sleep too. Honestly all I care about are my family, my friends and my boyfriend. I would like to take all of them to an island where we can live together, read together, watch movies together, make funny short films, form improv teams and start performing together, cook meals for each other, make music together, watch whole seasons of great TV shows on DVD for at least 5 hours a day...and...that solved nothing.

I'm not complaining at all or trying to prove that I'm busier than anyone else so please don't take it that way. I just would like to simplify my life. And I'm going to. I just need to finish this episode of Modern Family I'm watching while playing Professor Layton and checking my Farmville.

Words of Wisdom?

This entire thing is worth watching, but for this blogs sake start watching at 2:57-3:29. Harvey Keitel is honoring De Niro.



Hey, it's the truth.
