We did it!!

The check has cleared, the shipment is on it's way and our very first mini donut machine has been purchased!!! It's official, we're doin' this baby!!!

Life as an Army Wife: Episode 4

The 4th episode of my Army Wife series has officially arrived! It's dedicated to a good friend I've made here in Korea who is leaving on Sunday for Taiwan. Mandy is the gal I'm producing a movie mockumentary with.

To view the episode, click on the title of this blog. It's a longer video and I didn't want to upload it to yet another website!

Hope you enjoy. Of course, there is a guest appearance by Chloe!

4th of July Korea-style

It was a modest set up, but a gathering place for Americans and Koreans alike who were celebrating our country. Chloe was a hit, as always, but in general, Koreans don't care for dogs and I got a little nippy with a woman who asked me to remove Chloe from her area because she was eating. We're always cautious when we have Chloe, and we have really good doggy-owner manners. This gal had no reason for asking us to move. I mean if we had a friggin' gigantic dog with fangs who was salivating over her stupid plate of kimchi, then I'd understand. But a pug!?!?! Give me an effing break. Sorry, I was just getting worked up again. Chloe's my baby! Anyhow.

The fireworks were great, we had a blast saying "hi" to familiar faces and we had a fun conversation with a little boy named Colin who told me the chemicals in his glow stick smelled like farts. He was aDORable!

Wishing you all a Happy Fourth. Love you!

Thinking Caps Please!

Josh and I are in full swing to get our very first business underway. We're really excited about it because it's something I've personally had experience with, the product Josh can't get enough of, and it's a small, tangible business for our first venture. Mini donuts! Those of you from Minnesota who have ever been to the great State Fair have probably gotten your grubby little hands on these babies. They're a proven hit. The aroma draws you in, the action of the machine is comical and the fresh product melts in your mouth.

Right now we're in the process of putting together our business plan. It's our intention to have as much as we can finished and ready to go before we move to Washington so we can hit the ground running. We'll start with festivals and fairs but expand to private functions like weddings, birthday parties, grand openings, etc. The possibilities are endless.

However, the one thing that's keeping me up at night is trying to come up with a sweet name. This is where I'm hoping for a little inspiration from you!!

Let me tell you what kind of theme we're shootin' for here:

Our concept revolves around the fact that back in the day, before we knew all the nutritional information about this and that and what certain things did and didn't do to our bodies (or minds); if it tasted good, we ate it! If it made us feel good, we did it! The things that used to make us feel good, or give us pleasure don't do the trick anymore because we're riddled with guilt, "This is going straight to my thighs." Or, "This playground has tiny rocks? What!? Where's the toxic-free matting?" Please. Get over it. Enjoy. Think like a kid again and take back the treats and experiences that made you smile.

With that said, our concept embraces treating yourself, not gorging yourself. It embraces simple pleasures from a forgotten era.

Think, 1950's, "Hey, Pop! It's a tiny donut!" This is the kind of humor we'd like to incorporate into the name and brand as well.

We really look forward to hearing your ideas!!!! Remember; good old days and humor.

Love,

Josh and Molly

Back to Reality

Our last night, all sun-kissed.

The fun bar across from our hotel.

View from our roof!

Some aqua-velva with a gross thong.
(No, those are not Josh's buns of steel.)

The 'Rambo' boat to our island oasis.

The lame waterpark.

Home-slice in full effect.


The only way we got through our cab
ride to Pattaya.


View from our balcony in Bangkok.

To Thailand and back already. Read the chorus below from the popular 80's song "One Night in Bangkok."

One night in Bangkok and the world's your oyster

The bars are temples but the pearls ain't free

You'll find a god in every golden cloister

And if you're lucky then the god's a she

I can feel an angel sliding up to me

No joke. Guys, girls, you can't tell. Either way, they all want a "bed buddy" for every night of the week, which put me (Molly) on the defensive when we'd innocently walk around looking for a place to grab a bite.

We landed in Bangkok late Friday/early Saturday morning. The heat and humidity at that hour took all of us (Josh, our friend Rich, and myself) by surprise. We got to our modest but clean hotel around 2AM. The boys grabbed a couple drinks and some food while I zonked out.

The next morning we took the most ghetto 2 hour ride into Pattaya any of us have ever experienced. Some old piece with no rear suspension so our asses felt every bump. The first thing our driver said was "Need to get gas." Next he says "Three minute. Stop at my home." "What for?" we asked. "Music," he says. So 10 minutes later, the music is plugged in but the sound is barely audible, "Huh. No bass," says Josh. And just then the loudest 3 seconds of our lives happend as our driver pushed the cord into place. (Perfect timing, Josh).

An hour into our ride we took a pee break and insisted on getting some beer. None of us had any hair left because we pulled every last strand out while this guy weaved in and our of traffic at about 100 MPH.

Finally....Soi 8. Pattaya, Thailand. The Flipper Lodge. Rooftop pool with drinks and food overlooking the beach. That first night we swam, ate dinner at an Irish/Thai restaurant, walked the area and got the cheapest massages in the entire universe! 1 hour massages = roughly $10!!!! Needless to say, we got massages every day.

Day 2 was a trip on a ferry to an island for some swimming and soaking in the sun.

Day 3 was a trip on our rented moped to the saddest water park we've ever been to. We grabbed lunch at a local restaurant, looked at some cowboy boots and home to shower up. We walked to the Hard Rock hotel for tapas and drinks. That night the boys went out and saw a once in a lifetime kind of show. I'm not sure how I should word this so it's suitable for all audiences....Um....women shoot darts, or open bottles from the most female parts of their bodies. I'm going to stop there.

The next day was our last. So Josh and I took our moped for some coffee at a little shanty that overlooked the bay. We grabbed drinks at a couple different places, went up to our pool and before we knew it, we were leaving for the airport.

Thailand was a lot of fun. The actual area we were in , Pattaya, we'd probably never visit again. It's on the dirtier side and attracts the types of people (men) that are looking for one night companions. It's not what you'd call, "family-friendly." But Josh especially was due for some time off so it was a fun, quick getaway.

Above, you'll see some of the pictures from our trip!!! Miss you all.

Love,

Molly, Josh and Chloe (our pug)

TEETH promotion

Last January I did a children's show with Theatre Seoul and it's back to haunt me! We've been asked to remount the show in a bigger, fancier theatre in an area that's sure to bring in more money for the producers! Apparantly, there is a big promotional banner near the theatre with our white faces planted on it, but I have yet to see it.

For now, if you feel like it you can check out a quick promotional video from January. Be warned, you may tear up with embarrassment...but then again, it's a kids show!
