"Jo Without an E"

You met the avatars of this blog quite a while ago, unfortunately, and I sincerely apologize for the time gap between their posts and mine.  I am a human, which might surprise you, and, as I'm sure anyone reading this would understand, I've been pretty busy, which kept me from introducing myself.  Speaking of introductions, my name is Jo, specifically without the e (don't forget it!). (Also, please note this is not my real name ;), just a nickname I've had among my friends for years)

And, just like the avatars, I am prepared to show the world a photo of yours truly, although it's not the kind of photo you might expect...

Was I right?? ;)

Well, obviously my photo did not reveal quite as many features as Gem's and Sensa's did, but at least now you can tell I'm a human ;) Just to (mentally) paint the picture a little more, I have brown hair and hazel eyes. That's all I'm telling you about myself, but I'll share some facts about my life:

• My birthday is March 6th, and I was born in between the years 2002 and 1996
• I was born, raised, and currently reside in a suburb of Chicago, Illinois
• I have always loved horses, and although I don't currently own one (or take lessons or anything), I play many online horse games, and hope to own a horse at some time in my life, lol
• My family is rather small, I only have a sister, and the extended family is also small:  4 cousins and 4 aunts/uncles.
• In addition to human family members, my immediate family and I own a super cute (although sometimes really stupid) beagle mix named Buster, and a completely black cat named Misty. They were both adopted from shelters <3

  

  Buster <3 (normally, he doesn't have the bald spots on his legs, but he recently had surgery and the shaved patches on his legs are where the IVs were inserted in him)

  

  Misty <3 (she looks quite angry in this picture, lol)

  Well, those are all the facts I can think of right now! I'm sure as I post more I will reveal more about myself, so stay tuned! My next post will be about my recent trip to the zoo and the local flea market, and who doesn't love animals and antiques? ;)
