LOOKIN' UP TO HEAVEN.......

About Me

LIVE A LOT!!!~~~LOVE A LOT!!!~~~LAUGH SOOOO MUCH IT HURTS!!! *********************************************************** I'M A VERY YOUNG 52! Have an outgoing, positive personality, good attitude. Am easy~going, affectionate. LOVE LOVE LOVE to laugh, have fun! A very good listener ~ always serious when needed.~~~~~I LOVE LOVE LOVE TO SING! IT'S WHAT I'M THE MOST PASSIONATE ABOUT!!! LOVE any & all water activities. Camping~the great outdoors. CONCERTS, MUSICAL theatre, dining out, movies, travel. Board games~cards, bowling, pool. Staying home with DVD, pizza. Love animals.~~~~~I'm certainly NOT PERFECT!!! SURPRISE/DUHHHH! Am definitely a "work in progress/under construction" - I have survived some tough times, and have recently received a wonderful healing through the POWER OF FAITH AND PRAYER. "OUR GOD IS AN AWESOME GOD"!!! ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS TRULY BELIEVE, AND "LET GO~LET GOD"!! *******************************************"**************** ** Note to my lady friends - those 4 cute guys in my "Top 8" are my nephews-in-laws, and this really cool, very nice, Italian Exchange Student friend of theirs that I just met this week! They are all here in So Cal visiting right now, so I thought it would be fun to put them in my "Top 8"!!!

My Interests

MUSIC, SINGING (for/about my loving God!), talking to God, anything involving my church, anything involving WATER, board games, cards, pool, crafting. Please see "About Me" for much more info......

It would be VERY VERY cool if I could "meet" again with my dearly departed Dad - would also love to meet some of my fav singer/artists like Kate Miner, Michael English, Kelly Clarkson, Michael Buble, Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland), Linda Eder, Jon Bon Jovi, etc, etc, etc! :) :) :)

LOVE MOST TYPES OF MUSIC...... CURRENT AND ALL-TIME FAVS INCLUDE KATE MINER, my new fav Christian artist who is AWESOME! ("COME TO THE WATER", "CARRY ME", "TAKE ME HIGHER", "SONG IN MY HEART"), CARRIE UNDERWOOD ("Jesus Take the Wheel"), CASTING CROWNS ("And Now My Lifesong Sings"), MERCY ME ("I Can Only Imagine"), MICHAEL ENGLISH = a Christian artist whose songs come across as both spiritual and secular - love that! ("Finally Free", "I've Got a Love"), BROOKS AND DUNN ("Believe"), KELLY CLARKSON, BON JOVI, MICHAEL BUBLE (He's like EVIS, SINATRA, AND ASTAIRE all rolled into one! Amazing in concert!), GRETCHEN WILSON, ROD STEWART, JOSH GROBAN, THE MAVERICKS, SUGARLAND (That Jennifer Nettles has amazing chops!), GYPSY KINGS ("Volare" - My Dad used to sing this all the time = MY HERO!), LINDA EDER (One of Broadway's finest! Love "Jekyll and Hyde"! I think it has some of the most complex music ever written for the Broadway stage.), MARC ANTHONY, TRISHA YEARWOOD, WYNONNA, RASCAL FLATTS, MUSICALS/SHOW TUNES.........to name a FEW........:) :) :).......THE ONLY THING I HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH IS RAP......

Movies:

Everything and anything that isn't too violently violent!

Television:

IN GENERAL? CMT, FOOD NETWORK, TRAVEL CHANNEL, MOST DISCOVERY CHANNELS, DOCUMENTARIES, DRAMAS, SITCOMS. IN PARTICULAR? "CROSSROADS" ON CMT = THEY PAIR A COUNTRY ARTIST WITH AN ARTIST FROM ANOTHER GENRE, AND THEY SING EACH OTHER'S SONGS - HAVEN'T SEEN A BAD ONE YET! BON JOVI AND SUGARLAND ROCKED! "HOUSE", "CSI" (ORIGINAL SHOW ONLY), "CRIMINAL MINDS", "MEDIUM", "TWO AND A HALF MEN", "NUMB3RS" (YES, THAT'S THE WAY IT'S ACTUALLY SPELLED!), "COLD CASE FILES".

Books:

Currently reading "The Living Bible", and "The Word", Contemporary English Version~~~"Abandonment to Divine Providence" by Jean-Paul De Caussade~~~my next read will be "The Lady, Her Lover, and Her Lord" by Bishop T.D. Jakes - I want to be PREPARED, just in case the Lord has a surprise for me in the shape of an earthly man that he wants me to be partnered with~~~in general, I like to read cookbooks, fiction, self~awareness/help, spiritual books.....

Heroes:

MY DAD!!!! I GOT MY TALENT (SINGING) FROM HIM, BLESS HIS HEART!!! And then of course there is my "significant other"/husband/father J.C. (see blog titled "Finally!") ~ HE IS MY ROCK, AND MY ONE TRUE LOVE! FOR "HE IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIFE".......:) :) :)
