Victoria Potts Keale

Welcome, welcome welcome!

Before you check out my blog (or if you’ve come here after you’ve read some stuff and are like ‘Wha?’) please take a moment to read my personal disclaimers and explanations of this little virtual world of mine.

The Life Blog is my place to talk as Vickie, the snarky, bitter old-feeling lady who spends way too much time on the computer and has lost many of her in-person social skills. The Biz Blog is coming from professional, act-together Victoria who tries to be sweet and proper. Some of you who know me may have never met professional, act-together Victoria – to you, I swear she exists. And yes, I may be suffering from some sort of multiple personality disorder. But take me with a grain of salt, eh?

I will occasionally be “discussing” business situations that I am in, sometimes in a negative light. I will never include names or links to those situations that I am not talking about in a positive way. To my clients, I am not talking about you. You are awesome. I am talking about that other guy. To my prospects, I am sure you will never make that list either, because you are so awesome.

I am not in the wheel business. I do not believe in reinventing them. If there is something someone else did or made that I think is awesome or helpful I am going to link to it. I want to share my discoveries on stuff. I am not trying to sell you my take on something nor am I profiting from you trying out someone’s stuff I recommend, unless I note that and in those cases it’s probably the equivalent of about $2. So look at it like you are buying me a drink.

On that note – while I may not promote other stuff on here for much, if any, profit, I will be promoting me on here for profit. Because I love what I do and I’d love to do more of it.  Sorry. (But seriously, I actually like what I do and would love to do it for you, so call me!)

About me…

I’m a chic who wears a million hats. My short story is this: I’m a true midwestern girl who went through the standard teenage rebellion, went to college, dropped out of college (b/c the classes were getting in the way of partying), came back home, got pregnant, got married, got a job in corporate land, got pregnant again, got divorced, left the corporate world to become an entrepreneur, spent some time as a single mom, got remarried to mr. right-for-me, moved into a big ‘ol farm house and is currently working on world domination.

Ok, just kidding on the world domination.

After 30 years of being what I thought I should be, I have finally accepted who I am (i.e. the snarky, bitter old-feeling lady) and have embraced it. I LOVE my children and think they are the best thing since sliced bread. I love the outdoors and camping. I love music and I married a drummer (which I sometimes regret b/c load in sucks when you are a drummer! Too much to carry)  I love the ocean, but I do not like long walks on the beach because it’s really hard to walk in sand. I love to people watch and make running commentaries on them.  I hate every other driver on the road, and I suffer from road rage (which is why working from home is a really good thing for me).  I am a super nerd who LOVES Star Wars and anything pop culture. I have a Mr. Potato Head collection.  I watch too many silly sitcoms and I am a huge fan of teen TV. (Yes, I watch Hannah Montana even when my daughter is not home). My nails are often painted pink, even though I claim to hate that color. I am a huge fan of all things 80′s and my favorite band is Bon Jovi. I have 13 tattoos. I only remember I have 6 most of the time b/c those are the only ones I see (the rest are on my back). I believe in the woo-woo stuff, live in a haunted house but cannot watch a scary movie to save my life. I play in an adult kickball league (and we won first place in Spring of 09). I use the term “douchebag” too frequently. But I do that b/c people too frequently deserve it.

There’s more to me then this, but at least now you know a little bit of who you are dealing with.
