For those who don't know, my family fondly refers to me as Ricki. The short version of how I got this name is while on a family vacation about 10 years ago in Yellowstone, I had a rather large off brand name clunky camera (the brand was Ricardo or Rickoli or something like that). Well I kept dropping it...I'm a little on the clumsy side. After that any time I would drop anything or trip, etc. my family would say "RICKI." It soon became my nickname, which I have embraced. Ricki also became a common family term. Anytime anyone does anything silly or whatever, we refer to them as Ricki. So to those I've called Ricki (probably all of you at one point) it is a loving term I use with those I care about.
For those interested, this blog will keep you updated on my life :)
