I am here for Friends

About Me


Myspace Profile Tracker World Visitor MapHi! My name is Nicole, aka Princess Nikki (My friends KNOW I'm really a Princess), aka Cat (I like to sleep in the sun).I'm a homemaker who doesn't like to cook or clean regularly. I'm working on improving my job performance. My best dish is Eggplant Parmesan. I'm a night person. I'm trying to re-invent myself post-babies. I respect people with integrity. I still like to party! Being more helpful in the world is a goal. I collect dragons. I like animals. (We have a big, hairy dog - Shepherd/Husky mix.) I love my kids! (Julia(5)and Jenna(3)) My husband Robert is cool, a hard-working engineering manager, and a technology and motorcycle nut! (I secretly like going FAST!) I would like to go to Italy. I admire anyone that can hold onto themselves in the face of materialism and suburban apathy. If my ankle would hold up, I'd start skiing again. Favorite snack: fried cheese sticks. Favorite drink: Whiskey and Canada Dry Ginger Ale. Favorite Past-time: napping. Being sexy is great fun! I'm both goofy and serious. I love vacations, hotels, and fine food. I wish exercise was not a necessity. I have to make more of an effort to stay in touch with people I really "connect" with - and let those others go.

My Blog

All the Pretty Horses

I'm only 3/4 of the way through, and what a beautiful, sad book. I guess you can't win the National Book Award w/o a heartbreaking tale. The book was made into a movie, but I didn't see it yet, thankf...

To my Faithful Readers.....My sister killed her own dog - etc.

What should I write about? I'm at a loss for entertaining material - or is that not the point? My sister killed her own dog with too much care and love. Her vet had given her expensive allergy medicin...

Who are you? (NOT a "The Who" song!)

It seems like we try to figure out "who we are".  Like an entry in Webster's, we need a succinct definition, a tag line, something that sums us up. If we have a hard time coming up with this...

Today I’m Listening To: Dr. John, The Night Tripper

Now this is going way back... way back down memory lane. My uncle, now deceased, was a Vietnam Vet, and listened to all the cool, way out, stuff from the era. He gave me my first Zeppelin cassette tap...

Today I Read - The first 2 pages of HP Deathly Hallows

OMG! How am I going to read 759 pages? I guess I'll just have to fake my way through Book Club! Do they have Cliff Notes yet? Better yet, is the movie out?

Today I am reading - What Should I Do With My Life

Short chapters about how people went about searching for their "calling" in life. The first couple chapters, so far, are inspirational. The book is not a step-by-step self-help type thing. It seems to...

INSOMNIA !!!! Any interesting cures?

For those of you with thoughts on mortality and religion, maybe you have some answers for the times I find myself thinking about these things when I should be sleeping. (Along with grocery lists, fami...

Mortality - Depressing thoughts - Any answers?

I'm going to visit my Grandparents today. Grandpa is dying of pancreatic cancer and Grandma has dementia and is very frail. They love us so much. It's so unbearably sad to look in their eyes now that ...
