So, this Memorial Day I am taking a little time out to remember those who serve for our country by watching the Extreme Home Makeover marathon featuring families of soldiers currently touring in Iraq. I do what I can. Now that I've cried for a straight two hours I need to shake the day up a bit--get this day-off party really bumpin'. Here are two songs I'm currently practicing my "Beyonce booty" (God Bless America) to while Dad's outside grillin' like a villain. Enjoy your Memorial Day, and remember today's extra special daily affirmation: "AMER-I-CAN!!!"

OMG OMG OMG...I'm dying...Did you see that swing in a cage?! I'm spazzin' just like the kids in the promo. I'm hella all like, "VERY COOL," right now! I'm a big fan of children using their imaginations to create super cool worlds for themselves. I eventually hope to live near the woods with my family someday, and let the little tykes loose on all those sticks and pine needles, creating magical fortresses for themselves. But then HGTV comes along and blows my kids' stick forts out of the water. Disney is already making my unborn children selfish...great. I mean, I'M SO EXCITED FOR THIS SHOW!

This blogpost from Caroline's Mode is all I ever wanted. If you know me/notice me, you'd realize my footwear of choice is boots...boots for all seasons!!! Choosing to take the road less traveled, the terrain bodes bumpy at times. I definitely need some rough and tumble footwear as I navigate this life. And right now, I need what I like to call, "nude booties"--Kinda hot...kinda what I think about on a day-to-day basis. Alright, I'm not much in the mood to write about anything at this current moment on a Sunday...I just came across this photo, and boots seemed a relatively safe topic.

"From now on when life hands me lemons I'm gonna slice 'em up into wedges and throw 'em into vodka tonics which I will then sip in a burlesque nightclub that I co-own with actor Taye Diggs and two of the Pussycat Dolls."

Also, I somehow misstepped and forgot to put this clip up. For that, I am ashamed and deeply sorry. Nobody puts Parks and Rec in the corner. I'm really not hating this whole double episode a week thing...PLUS, the producer's cuts of the shows are on Hulu, so that means an extra ten minutes of the best fun ever EVERY EPISODE! Errbody do the Ron Swanson!

Happy Saturday morning, everyone...I'm choosing to celebrate with the reminiscing of Saturday morning cartoons. Pepper Ann, anyone? "She's like one in a mill-IOOOON!"

Don't get it twisted, I was never really a cartoon watcher. I more favored the teen spice of Saved by the Bell: The New Class or that one show where eight(ish) foster kids had to survive on their own after their parents died in a car crash leaving the eldest child (of course, the hawtest and most void of responsibility) to tend to the clan...shenanigans ensue.

I want this. And I want to spell something on a wall in tube lights. This is all very uncomplicated. I'm not gonna get into anything, but uncomplicated would be great right now.

Tilly is such a mean girl...she's a real bitch.

Mom found this in the garage with Grandma's things. When you open the drawer at the bottom the people do a Spaniard jig. I used to sit on the floor of Grandma's guest room and play with this while simultaneously being freaked out by how impressively double jointed these Spaniards are. I cannot wait to bring this puppy on my world travels.

The amount I think about flowers is probably more than the average of all my friends' flower thoughts put together. I like to get really stressed out about not having a favorite and be all like, Molly, ya gotta have a favorite! What will gentleman callers think of your lack of a definitive favorite flower?! Stress no more...Peonies and Ranunculus' top my list of favs. I would especially enjoy it if there were somehow a way to encapsulate a live hummingbird into the floral arrangement, but I guess that gesture is simply a guage of how into me said "caller" is.

I have nothing against poppies either...shit.

"Sorrow is a sad song, but it is also a kind of weird celebration of feeling sorrow... some people like that feeling and they don't want to get rid of it."

-Aaron Dessner

I was late for work today because I had to finish watching Sleepless in Seattle. SO SUE ME. As a result, I was also crying while going into work. I think that probably helps my being "late" cause. Come on, Tom Hanks extending his hand with a simple, "Shall we" on top of the Empire State Building? Stick a fork in me. And then the credits roll while Celine Dion and Chris Botti (though, you always wish it were Peabo Bryson...PEABOOOOO!) serenade the rolling credits with "When I Fall in Love". I'm DONE.

That being said, yea, I'm a sappy girl for sure...but don't go ahead and actually try to sell on your sappy bull, cause I'm still a Ke$ha "Cannibal"...sadly.

"I'm a wanderer. I have no place or time. I'm just drifting on this lonely road of mine."

- Wanderer, Marc Broussard

I love Marc Broussard. I started listening to him in high school, and I always get back to him eventually. Today is a soul kinda day, and Marc seems totally appropriate. Why is it a soul kinda day? Well, it's just that, whenever I'm some place I'd rather be some place else. There are like three recent exceptions (Sharon, CT before I broke my foot, New Years Day, Coachella) I can think of, but otherwise, no. So truly, I have the heart of a wanderer, my friends. I'm thinking I should be a backup singer on a tour. That way I can travel all about. I thought about a cruise, but alas, I'm still scared of Titanic happenings. Some things never change. I also fantasize about cutting off all connections and living in the woods...or in a tree...to which I reminded my friends, "I'd only need like, a little bit of wifi." I miss trees.



And let this little song break your heart. Bye.

Proof that The Secret works. I thought about this hard enough, and it came to fruition! I wanted it so bad. Jim Gaffigan once said, "[the cooking instructions for lean pockets should be take out of package, place directly in toilet." Well, he forgot the stage smack dab in the middle that I like to call "sheer velvety ecstacy in my mouth."

"I am not so much a person as I am a collection of choices."

Spot on...so I guess the only thing this guy excels at beside his stunning impersonation of the Fresh Prince is having 5 second gay themed cameos. I'm down.

The only Cotton commercial I haven't had an adverse reaction to. I mean, I don't think she should put out an album soonish or anything, seeing as she probably got some help from T-Pain's vocoder on this track, but I do think she is the most adorable little lamb! Let's just all thank the heads over at Cotton for not asking Colbie Caillat to do an encore performance of her commercial.

Parks and Rec ALL DAY, ERR DAY. I was slapping the chair arm when I saw this during the episode. Actually, I recommend everyone get onto Hulu and watch the episode entitled "Soulmates". It was absolutely incredible. No, really, I insist you get in on these jokes.

"So excited to be doing a show with you where you DON'T play a bitch."

HEY, I'm just doing what comes naturally.

Guy with big head: "I'm gonna keep flirting with you (Lauren) until you get really uncomfortable."

Lauren: (awkward smile/look away)

Molly: "Well, you're making me extremely uncomfortable, if that counts?"

Guy with big head: (blank stare)

NOT EVEN A SLIGHT COMEBACK OR CLEVER QUIP?! I win so easy? Men of Las Vegas, I challenge you to challenge anything.
