My name is Marian,I am married( this is my second marriage the first was a complete disaster)I have been married for 17 years but we have been together for 20--I have 5 kids ( all are here on MySpace,the three youngest are from this marriage,my oldest two are from previous relationships)I have 3 daughters ages 25,17 and 16---2 boys ages 23 and 19--all of which I love dearly and so completelyandI have a beautiful but highly energenic 5 year old grand-daughter...whom I love with every fiber of my being,I could not imagine my life without heralthough I have brothers and sisters-for reasons that some of you know-I chose not to acknowledge them as such-However,I have had the pleasure of meeting my 2 year old neice,whom happens to be my one and only (known)real blood neice,despite the differences between my brother and I,for which I know will never be resolved,I have to admit his daughter is adorable,and I would never take it out on herI live in a shit town here in Jersey.......Have a good husband--who seems to get on my nerves from time to time,but I am sure he says the same about me too,in fact I know he does-LMAO---but he has been the strength and glue that holds this all togetherbut tends to be a pain in my ass sometimes... I am easy-going,down-to-earth,laid back,casual in both dress and attitude, and open-minded ( at least with most things)feminine but not prissyAlthough I am a rather open-minded and easy-going person-I must stress that doesn't mean I accept being disrespected or treated as second-class,as I have learned some people tend to interpret it in that manner.....I am straightforward and honest but never to the point of being blunt or brutal-unless it absolutely has to come down to thatI would never ever intentionally hurt anybody's feelings......I want people to know who and what they are dealing with right from the start......I truly like who I amlike who I have become and like the direction I am going in,even if it is not taking me to stars--so I have no need or desire to exaggerate about who and what I am........I am optimistic ( for the most part),outgoing but not to the extreme,quiet but not shy,outspoken but never hurtful,I am sensitive to others peoples feelings ( a hard lesson learned),I enjoy or should I say I have learned the importance and significance of the simple things in life--to appreciate that which I once took for granted...I am not a materialistic person--so I have no interest in the size and cost of your house,the kind of car you drive,how much money you make,or the size of your bank accountIf you got itThan God Bless yaIf you don'tThen who the fuck cares-I like people for who they are not what they have!I think that I am fairly friendly--enjoy making friends-prefer a few good friends as opposed to many superficial acquaintences,I enjoy the friendships that I have,I will do whatever I can for my friends,I prefer people to honest and straight with me-even if they feel it will hurt my feelings-don't beat around the bush with me-particularly if it in anyway has something to do with something that I have done or you believe that I have done-I DON"T BEG-if I feel there is something wrong I will ask you-if you choose not to tell me-thats fine-just simply say that you aren't ready to talk about it-don't tell me "nothing is wrong"then days or weeks later decide you want to talk-because I don't want to hear it.....I think I have a fairly good sense of humor--have learned to be able to laugh at myself from time to time......Don't judge or base my friendships solely on the similarities,as I find it is our differences that make us most interesting.......I am trusting,sometimes too trusting but I believe that everyone deserves a chance--I also believe that we all show our true colors at some point......!I base it all on how you treat me-my family and my home.......never on what you do on the outside--what you've done-or what one thinks you may do in the future.....Its all about respect. The most important people in my life are my family--my kids and my granddaughter, they always always come first--and the surest way to alienate me is to hurt one of my kids......Then I become a class" A" bitch!Don't get me wrong I am no angel--I have my bad points too and readily admit it. The things that I most dislike areFake ass,totally controllable,stupidly naive,egotistical,self centered,holier than thou,rude,ignorant,deceitful,overly sarcastic,loudpeople who try to buy their friendships,people who try to be something that they definitely are NOT...(YES TRISH IF YOU ARE READING THIS I AM TALKING ABOUT YOU!!!!!!)obnoxious, individuals!Oh and lets not forget the PATHOLOGICAL LIARS..People who hold shit back and then want to tell you about what you have done days,weeks or months laterHonestlyI cannot tolerate people with those qualitiesThey totally SUCK! Well thats pretty much it I guess......thats me in a nutshell....
