Feet First Down the Rabbit Hole...


I've been inspired by the many awesome ladies I follow on Twitter(@modernsinglemom, @MissIve, @fleurdeleigh, @ZenMommy, @RiaSharon & @misscriss0830) and the blogosphere. I'm joining their newest adventure Looking Glass Lane and compiling my very own dossier. I'm not very good at self description, but I'm working on it. This is attempt #1 and I may have to come back to revise later, but here we go...

My Dossier (@jrporter to the twitterverse)

Looking Glass Powers:
Ability to call it like I see it - that's just how I roll
Ability to ...
(more to come, but I'm stumped with this part and am not happy with how it's going)

Dress-up Closet:
Knee high socks, dark wash jeans, must-have Fossil watch, comfy t-shirts, and every color flip-flop you can imagine

Disguise:
Little black dress and red Nine West heels - for when I really want to go incognito ;)

Go-To Gadget:
Canon PowerShot, iPhone and my PowerMac G4

Vice:
Rag Mags at the checkout stand

Magic Potion:
Leinie's Berry Weiss in the summer and Malibu + Pineapple juice all year long - yummm!
And a bottle of Late Harvest Gewurztraminer

Battery Recharge Hub (other than Looking Glass Lane, of course):
My own backyard
Couch + Chick Flick + pint of Haagen Dazs Chocolate Peanut Butter ice cream
A pier looking over the bay in Seattle on a crisp clear morning, whole wheat apple muffin in one hand and a coffee in the other...

Bratty Spoilers:
A soak in a bubble filled jacuzzi tub
A massage and mani/pedi
Napping on a rainy afternoon with the one I love

Owner’s Manual:
When I find it I'll let you know

Weapon:
Wooden spoon and a frying pan - I'll wreak havoc on your kitchen!

Nemisis:
Words of hatred
Tears of pain

Secret Ambition:
Sexy Librarian - World Traveler

Welcome to the adventure, Jenn! Loved that you took a moment to look into the looking glass and found a bit of self discovery staring back at you.

Jenn,

The thing I really want to say, is that you girls, jumping in, feet first with us is unbelievable. Really. It's so important for us to build a place where women practice doing that for each other daily. And you do that. I think you should consider adding that to your Looking Glass powers.

You're a rallier.

I'm so glad you're coming with us. And please feel free to reek havoc in my kitchen any day!

Jen, Miss Ive

Awesome.
