It's BLISS! A real-live-grown-up conference
and I'm going! I'm so excited. Everyone is writing to introduce themselves and I thought I'd join in {
since I'm pretending to be a blogger}. So...here I am.

Hi! I'm Mollianne. Welcome to MolliWorld, where I am the Queen of all I survey{mostly an early 60s split-level in dire need of remodeling...on my extended list of things I'll get to someday}. I'm a 50-something career homemaker who finds myself sitting behind a desk 40 hours a week wondering why I'm not at home in Camelot {yes...I live in Camelot. Don't you just love it?}!

I am
deliriously, happily and
blissfully married to the amazing Rocket Man {he's a real-live-honest-to-goodness Rocket Engineer y'all!} and we have 4 children {1 son, 3 daughters}between us, all grown and gone. We're happily-ever-aftering here in the Camelot subdivision of Rocket City, USA. We love our quasi-empty next and the grandsons {The Boys Fantastic- Mac Attack and Boy Wonder} who spend their weekends with us. Adolescent grandsons. Teenagers. Boys, no less. The
stench aroma gets strong at times.
Rocket Man is coming with me to BlissDom. He's also known as
The Adult Supervision. For some reason... he thinks I require such. Mostly, he'll be in the room guarding the remote control against anyone who might try to steal it from the hotel. Care and handling of a television remote control is one of the many things at which he excels.

I work at The Church House as the Clergy Administrator {fancy title for preacher's secretary} and mostly love what I do there. When I'm not doing that {and sometimes when I am} I find plenty to do. I sing. I read. I write. I occasionally make cards. I bake. I cook. I take pictures. I knit a little. I think. I think a lot. But don't worry. I'm professionally trained at thinking. My degree is in Philosophy.
I got a .357 magnum for Christmas last year and I named it
The Vera {I store it in a Vera Bradley backpack in my closet}. I think I'm very big now that I have my very own revolver.

Rocket Man is my biggest hobby and I find myself lured to the couch to watch sporting events of all sorts just to sit next to him. We spend time together in the garage while he works on his cars {a 75 Camaro, a 65 Mustang and a 64 Falcon}. I'm working on a Junior Mechanic Merit Badge by fetching tools and turning wrenches. Sometimes, he even lets me play with the power tools! We recently purchased a {new to us}motorcycle, so we'll be riding the wind when the weather warms up a bit, and once the necessary repairs are done.

I have some sort of undiagnosed autoimmune deal going on that has stumped doctors at Vanderbilt, UAB and the Mayo Clinic. The best theory takes it back to a story titled, "Rabies is Always Fatal" in which we woke up to a bat circling our bed one night. We survived. The bat did not. He did NOT have rabies, which we found out after taking 3 rabies shots. Anyway, I have goofy symptoms and every few months take IV steroid infusion to try to keep the symptoms at bay. I've just come off a round, so I'll still be on a steroid high when we arrive next week. I'm bringing my dancing shoes. I know something about chronic illness, which I will occasionally write about.
In the midst of all of that, we manage to find a lot of things to laugh about. I suspect at the heart of my things... I'm just easily amused. Those are the things that I write about here. I'm glad that you stopped by and hope that you have a wonderful time at BissDom! And I hope I get to hug your neck. Come back anytime. I'll try to always make it worth your while.
Oh, just for the record...and because I
never seldom don't often do things the way other {maybe more normal} people do...I'm launching a beautiful new home for my blog. The design is beautiful and I can't wait to share that space. Hopefully after I meet all y'all at BlissDom I'll be launching. So, this isn't going to be my address forever. My new home, coming soon to a URL near you will be
www.cleverlymolli.com I'll still be masquerading as a responsible adult just under the name of Cleverly Molli.
I can't wait to meet all y'all. I have made lists, read all I can find bout BlissDom and really! I'm ready to come and make friends, rock babies {one grandmother who would LOVE to rock your baby coming right up!}, exchange twitter handles {I'm @ CleverlyMolli} swap business cards and be part of this wonderful community.
Till then, I'm blowing you kisses from Camelot!

I love smooching with the Rocket Man!

Mollianne, my dad raised me and my siblings teaching us all about guns and how to use them. I have my own pistol too, which ever since a seriously scary experience at a local grocery store in the parking lot at night, it's always in my purse. Glad to see another woman strong enough to use one! It freaks a lot of my friends out. See you at Blissdom. I'm one of the Frugal-Living Community Leaders, just FYI.
Ohh. Mollianne, I have been seeing your posts on the fb newcomer group. You are darling. I hope we get to meet at Blissdom.
Beth...I know what you mean. The reaction I got when people found out I had a pistol AND that I intended to use it was astounding to me. While I never handled them {I was waaay to prissy back then}My Daddy had firearms and it just seems normal to me to have them around. I'm ready to get something smaller and will also probably be packing full-time soon. I hope I'll meet you NEXT WEEK!
Maggie...thank you, Sweet Pea. I'll be looking for you.
