Marilyn's Story
I like cooking, but not everyday, prefer to do the special occasion stuff. I love traveling and I have been to France, Italy, Greece, Austria, Bahamas, Jamaica, and Mexico and I'm going back to Italy in June this year. I love reading good books that are Biblically based whether they are fiction or otherwise. I like politics and watching world events unfold before my eyes. I like writing more than I like speaking. I have "crowd-fright" so I prefer the stage. I love trying new foods and am a bit of a gourmand, though I will eat a burger if I have to. I like Mac make-up, and my Mac make-up brushes. I love clothes, mani/pedi's, and getting my hair done, typical girly stuff there. I LOVE LOVE LOVE my puppy Isabella, and she loves me. I like fall, spring, summer, winter....in that order. I like sushi, yes even the raw stuff. I love red shoes but I can live in my rainbow flip flops if I had to. I love good quality chef's knives. I like nice designer sunglasses. I like Gucci perfume, the original one. I like my Sebring convertible, although am due for a new one....Mercedes CLK or nothing. I like dark chocolate, green olives, red wine, and snobby cheese. My favorite music is your basic girly singer/songwriter type stuff, although I sing Rock and Pop in my Christian band. I pretty much like anything except crap rap. I must admit, I'm a reality TV junkie, I pretty much watch all of them. I watch a lot of Fox News. I also like Prison Break, Boston Legal, Lost, and cooking shows. I like most movies, but I dislike ...Expand for more
horror films. I prefer intense dramas and romantic comedies.
I¿m a humorously sarcastic, sassy and self confident, passionate mother of three teenagers. I guess I can also be pretty direct at times, not mean or anything, but when dealing with adults I just say what has to be said. I give people the benefit of the doubt that they are adults and I just don't see the point of soft peddling everything, it kinda seems condescending to me. I try not to let others get me down because after all, we all fall short of the glory of God so I do let things go and forgive easily. I'm not really an overly sensitive or emotional woman as some women go, but many friends WOULD describe me as passionate and very expressive. And I do say what¿s on my mind to those I think can handle it..¿after I¿ve given it some thought of course. But there have been times I've been wrong about those who can handle it and...they can't. At times I talk loud, I laugh loud, I breathe loud¿.but that¿s mostly when I sleep, lol. There aren¿t too many people who can make me run out of the room crying. That special gift is reserved for those I truly love, like my family. The truth is, I have been through the fire and back in my life and God has used each and every situation to refine me into what he wants me to be. Although I admit, I¿ve got a lot farther to go in order to be anything like Him! The one thing I am very serious about though is my music and my desire to service Christ with it. It is a gift FROM Him, so it is my gift TO Him.
