About Me
 
 
Name: Jeri
Name for Siggies:  Jeri
Online Name: Jeri, but also known as Jinxie, Jerikins, and Josie!
Hair: Auburn (brownish-red)

shoulder length and semi-thick (used to be thicker, but I take medication for Meniere's Disease and my hair comes out by the handfuls...) Its wavy and I spend hours straightening it...LOL

Eyes: blue-gray
Favorite Colors:

All pastels, mainly:

peach

Place of Birth: Missouri USA (in good ol' St Joseph...home of the Pony Express and Jesse James fame!!)
Places of Residence: I didn't stray far....I'm in St Joseph again!! LOL! I've always lived in NW Missouri, except for a couple of years as a toddler, then in Panama City, Florida, where my dad was stationed in the Air Force. 
Nationality: German/Welsh/American Indian/Scottish/Irish (aka All American...LOL) I definitely have the Irish temper, although most don't see it very often 
Languages:  English, can read a little Spanish and German, and am learning sign language (which I will probably be using in a few years, since my hearing loss is almost total)
Tattoos none...I'm too chicken!!! But I've thought about getting a small tiger lily on my hip; that was my late hubby's favorite flowers
Zodiac Sign: Gemini with Taurus Rising. My moon sign is Pisces, which is considered a "physic" moon. This explains my interest in the supernatural, and my ability to "read" people (although its hard to do that with people online...) I like reading Tarot and working with astrology.  
Hobbies: pixeling, graphic arts, painting, crocheting/knitting/cross stitch, reading (I have so many and still adding to my Stephen King collection!), fishing, gardening, doing astrological natal charts 
My Family: I have 1 son, James, who is 26. He is married to Radonna and they gifted me with THREE beautiful grandbabies!!! Fallon, my only granddaughter, is 7, Thomas (named for my late husband) 4, and Joshua, who will be 3 in April.

 I see my mom and dad as often as I can. I'm the oldest of 9 children (on my dad's side) and have 7 sisters and 1 brother

Significant Other None at the moment
Pets I have 2 cats (both currently living with my dad); Jinxie is a orange tabby (long haired) and he's such a Romeo!!! Josie, a short haired grey tabby, is feisty, full of fire, and is ALWAYS looking for something (or someone) to pounce on
Just the facts... * I am a voracious reader (mostly Stephen King) I discovered reading the beginning of 1st grade and when given a page or two to read for homework, I would read the whole book

*I spent a weekend (my 2nd trip) to NYC and returned home 5 hours before the first World Trade Center tower was hit...talk about scared!!!

*I'm a huge Mel Brooks fan, and can quote one-liners from "Young Frankenstein" at will :-)  Don't get me started, I have trouble quitting!!

* Take me fishing...please!!! But don't expect me to put live bait on my hook...you do it for me...LOL

* I collect antique kitchen utensils and love all antiques...my grandmother used to be an antique dealer!
