Hi, my name is Shelly, but if ya know me from Joe's you know me by Marie™. I turned 26 on October 20th.*G* My husband, Jerry and I live in the sticks in a small town in Washington state. We don't have any kids yet, but we hope to soon.*BG* We do have some animals that are our kids for now.*L* We have a 7 year old dog named Lou Lou, she is part pitbull and part springer spaniel. We also have a 1 year old kitty, his name is Teddy, he's pure black and a sweetheart!*G* The other member of our family is Angel, he's a 9 year old parot. Angel is a Severe Macaw and he likes to pester me when I'm on the puter.*BG*

I work in a small hospital as a labor and delivery nurse. I love my job!!*BAS* I get the joy of helping bring new life into the world, it's usually a lot of fun.*G* I also work in the medical & surgical floor and ER. I like the variety that working in a small hospital offers.*G* I'm hoping to start doing traveling nursing sometime at the end of the summer or beginning of fall, I can't wait to travel around and see more of the country and learn more.*S* This way I can meet some of my online friends too.*G*

I love music!!!, all kinds!*G* Well maybe not that twangy country.*L* But all others! My favorite is the oldder Hard Rock from the 1980's. *G* Prince is one of my favorites!!!! oops now He's the artist formerly known as Prince *L* whatever, he's KEWL!!!! I do like some of the newer groups too, Savage Garden is good.*G* But I like too many to keep writing them all down.*L*

In my free time I like to chat with my net friends!!!*BG* If you go to Joe's diner, you'll know that I'm addicted*eg* I think after the first night I was in Joe's chatting, I was hooked!!!*G* I like going in and chatting, starting food fights...... oops I mean participating in food fights *weg*

I do like to do things that don't invlove the puter! *L* I really do.*G* I like to go on drives up in the mountains and take walks and explore. I love to swim!*S* I also like to take pictures and make scrap books.*G* I like to sew also. *S* I like to go visit my friends and family too, but my favorite thing to do is have FUN!!!*BG*

This is my pet bear he showed up on my front porch this fall and I decided if he was gonna stay he could at least look like a happy well behaved Fuzzy bear.*worried smile* He doesn't look very happy at the moment, *whispers* but I heard from a reliable source that Fireman gave him a wedgie, and I think he's in a bad mood now.*L* So everyone meet my bear, Fuzzy.*BAS*
