About Me

~nikki's
Friends

Hmmm...
I am shallow and silly, complicated and deep, easygoing and forgiving, funny and spiritual, serious and obnoxious, shy and outgoing, a major procrastinator- yet I can give 110% when I need to! I am a complete and utter contradiction in everyway!

About NikI Love Traveling... I've lived all over the place- Mississippi (Gulf Coast Area- That's My Home!), Charleston, SC (5 years- LOVED it!), Terceira Island, Portugal (5 years- LOVED IT EVEN MORE), Tampa, FL (2 years- eh, it was ok), and now I'm in Illinois (uh, yeah... that's what I said, too)...
I Love Surprises, Shopping, Being With My Chicas, Great Conversation, Dressing Up to Go Out, Trashy Historical Romance Novels, Sangria, Long Island Iced Tea, A Great Glass of Wine, and Running (although not in that order- lol).
I like to Write, Draw, Sing, and Listen to All Types of Music... I'm also into Photography and I'm an Animal-Lover...
I Love Riding my Motorcycle (It's a Buell Blast), and I'm Always Busy being a Wife/Mother/Daughter/Sister/Aunt/Friend & I Love It...
