About Me

Updated: April 30, 2022

Migraine Triggers: Chocolate & anything highly scented like incense or perfume.

I'm not a smoker, so please try not to send things that are extremely smoky smelling.

My Name:

I know some people will think this is being "picky", but my first name (Shelia) is spelled with the i after the L instead of after the E. (It is still pronounced like Sheila) I always try to spell people's names correctly, so I would like the same in return. Don't blame me - that's how my doctor spelled it on my birth certificate! My parents didn't realize it until sometime later. LOL!

Hello! My name is Shelia and I was born in 1974. I live with my husband, Jeff (more about him farther down) and our cats Bella & Cleopatra. I love animals and nature.

My husband & I were married on Dec. 5, 2009.

I love to garden (flowers & veggies), read, watch TV, write letters to pen pals, take photographs, go to thrift stores, flea markets, yard sales, and learn new things.

I love all things retro, vintage, retro housewife, & Anne Taintor

I love spooky, weird, creepy things. I really love the classic Universal monster movies.

Friday the 13th & Halloween are two of my favorite days of the year.

I love the number 13. Sometimes my birthday falls on Friday the 13th. The next one is in 2026.

I love fall colors. I also love the colors from the 50's-70's like avocado green, harvest gold, retro pink, etc. I think I was born in the wrong decade. LOL!

I will always rate swaps once they are received and I rate fairly, according to the guidelines. If I'm going to rate below a 5, I will message you first and explain why and give you a chance to fix it. I hope that you will do the same for me.

Comment: Thank you for the great horse racing postcard. I never understood the appeal of horse racing but I know many people like it. Hopefully all the casinos can figure out a way to reopen soon. I know people like to visit them. My boyfriend likes to play poker so heโ€™s missing the ones we have here at the beach in Oregon.
