About Me

Hi! I’m Nicole, or Nikki.

I am relatively new to the Chicago area, so I am looking for things to do when the weather gets cold! I love the idea of pen pals and swapping things with people that have common interests. I am a mid/late thirties professional in a large city. I am from a small rural southern town…where I spent all of my life until 1 year ago. I relocated in August of 2014. I was laid off from said company in August 2015 (due to a merger). I was fortunate enough to find another job quickly. I am not a religious person, but I was raised in a Christian family. I love learning about different cultures and religions. I ask a lot of questions….like what is a friendship book?? (I know, there is a glossary for me to familiarize myself with SB terms). I am a natural introvert, so I think having structure and themes to these swaps will definitely help me bloom. I love sarcasm, humor, and whit.

Movies and Music

Movies

I love to check out all movies (except Horror), but my all-time favorite is Spaceballs.

Music

I love all types of music. I love to see it in person. I love to see it on TV. I love to listen to music 24/7. My go to fav is alternative rock.

Favorite Television

I DVR most of my shows and then binge watch them. I am a huge binge watcher. I try to get out and explore the city around me, but I also do not want to miss out on some good shows.

My current listings are:

Chicago Fire

Chicago PD

Law and Order: SVU

Gotham

The Americans

Things I collect

Stickers (alphabet, owls, frogs, turtles)

Pens (any color, preferably gel or smooth ink)

Papers

Coloring supplies (thin tip markers)

Notebooks (for journals and jotting)

Note cards

Letter sets (cute)

All things coffee

Handmade embellishments

Super heroes (fav is Batman)

Dislikes

Coconut flakes (flavor is ok)

Cherry (flavor or whole)

Horror (movies/books/TV shows)

Licorice

Makeup

Cell phone charms

Mint chocolate candy/tea/coffee

Reward Stickers

Anything super religious

Fav Food/Drinks

I am obsessed with coffee and cupcakes.

I love to try new combo flavors that local shops come up with, like Nutella Latte or Honey Chipotle Latte. Who thinks of this stuff?

Oh, and Maple Bacon cupcakes…but my favorite is Red Velvet. I try to eat healthy so I can do my cupcakes.

I like candy here and there.

Dark Chocolate is my preferred chocolate.

My Favorite Time Suckers

I actively participate in local Meet Up groups.

I LOVE to read mostly any and everything (Horror is the only exception).

I recently discovered pod casts…my favs are

The Girl Next Door (Arizona),

Call Your Girlfriend (Long Distance Besties),

Wine Down for What (Jacksonville FL)

Coffee with Chrachel (Seattle).

I love to do paper crafts and watching YouTube videos on different techniques.

Favorite Colors

ANY.

I love to see interesting color combinations. Like, I’m not a big fan of yellow, but I LOVE it paired with a muted grey. Not a big fan of brown….but LOVE it with teal.

I love sparkly colors…glitter, pearl, metallic, anything like that.

Favorite Crafts

I'm still learning.

Paper crafts (just got a cricut!)

UPDATE: 4/4/16

Hi all Swapping Friends. I have been super busy at work. I am also trying to move in the middle of all of this...with a death in the family...just crazy times right now. I have a 1 that I am working on clearing because of the shop owner (Etsy) not responding [albeit I admit on not hounding her because of my current full plate]. I have updated my address and to all of my pen pals, I will be writing back very soon!

[ESG: Nice profile comment #2]

I love to binge watch series too, I hate when I only get to see one episode and it stops just as the story is getting to the good point :D I'm pretty behind on Gotham but I'm afraid I'll sit and watch it for a week straight if I start now XD

Not a big fan of coffee but I swear I could survive on cupcakes :D I bake a lot on my favorite ones are dark chocolate ones sprinkled with peppermint candies even though I don't really eat them alone.

Hope you're having a great day and happy Valentines!

Hi there! I'm one of your partners for the ESG Nice Profile Comment #2 swap.

I love Spaceballs! It's one of my favorite Mel Brooks movies. My other half and I watch it on a semi-regular basis and pretty much have it memorized.

And what are Maple Bacon cupcakes? I've had Maple Bacon donuts, but not cupcakes. Is the bacon baked into the cupcake or something else?

I hope you have a great rest of your weekend!
