About Me

Myspace Layouts - Myspace Editor

Greetings all who have ventured here!
Welcome to my space on myspace. So, you want to know who I am and what I am all about? That could take some time. I am a very complex individual. As are you, I am sure. I can't simply write about my life in this space. I can only capture my essence.
I have the greatest friends in the world - they rock! Concerts, dinners, games, sporting events, scrapbooking, shopping, camping - we are always having fun.
Here's what my friends say about me: Valerie says: Vikki is a free spirit. She likes to be around people, and can be the life of the party. She is loyal to her friends, and knows many people.
Megan says: What makes Vikki great? For one, I'm surprised you don't know her or haven't met her already because she seems to know everyone. Okay - so you haven't met her...what is she like? Vikki is fun, creative, thinks outside the box, cares for her friends and family no matter what, she has a sarcastic wit (and you need to be intelligent to pull off true sarcasm!!) but also enjoys being silly and cracking jokes. She enjoys camping, but also enjoys hoteling it. Things we enjoy doing as friends: Saints baseball games (in the hot tub!), bowling, movies, painting ceramics, scrapbooking, parties at friends' houses, going to the theater, going out for brunch or dinner, and much more. She's awesome - she is one of my friends after all.
Curt says: Vik is a kind and generous friend. She has been there through good times and bad times. She is always willing to listen and not afraid to offer her honest opinion. She likes to have fun and keeps active. I can honestly say, she has been a great friend of mine for 17 years!

My Interests

I love to read. I enjoy scrapbooking. I am a big fan of pro football - go Vikings! And I like my summertime boys, too - go Twins! I enjoy watching Nascar - go Tony Stewart! I love college hoops - go Jayhawks! I enjoy doing crossword puzzles and hanging out with my awesome friends. I also have a Magic 8 Ball collection!

I'd like to meet:


I'd like to meet a guy who brings me flowers just for the hell of it, who would like to snuggle in for a movie, and yes...gasp, an occasional chick flick! He's gotta like watching sports and hopefully going to amusement parks and riding the scary rides. And it would be nice if he'd challenge me to a game of Scrabble or Cribbage once in awhile too. But what you like has very little to do with what I'll like about you. Honestly, I want a man who is intelligent, kind, adventurous, has a sense of humor and is thoughtful.

Ok, this is HUGE and perhaps, this should be at the top of my list...if you don't speak and write English well, please don't write to me. If you are inclinded to write letters that start out with "Hello Beautiful", "Wow, you are an angel", "You took my breath away," or any other such nonsense, don't write to me. And lastly, if you are looking for a fantasy older woman or for a younger woman to prove you've still got it - please don't write to me! I mean please...please, don't write to me. I might be 38 and still single, but I am not desparate!

Its a good year to be a Jayhawk!

I've always been proud to be a Jayhawk. Not because the basketball team rocks (most of the time). If anyone remembers my first Late Night with Larry Brown, they'll remember I fell asleep! I was not a...

Why Do I Bother with the Vikings?

Why? Week after week, I dress in my purple and gold, put on my Vikings bracelet and my helmet earrings and I cheer on my home town team. I've even asked my nail salon if they can do a Vikings log...
