What would Cameron do....: Do you think paddle boards have a weight limit...

The reason I started this blog...

Two years ago, I was flying on a plane to take my son out to visit college prospects. I'm a nervous flyer, so I started reading an article in a magazine about Cameron Diaz. Now, I had never really thought about her other than being in movies, some good, some not so good. But, after reading the article, I was inspired! She does a lot of fun things! It basically said that she never says no to any kind of fun. I wondered what would happen if I started being more like that. I started incorporating the phrase "What would Cameron do?" into my daily life and I have to say, it has made a huge difference. So this blog is basically about me trying to be a more positive person and do things that initially inspire fear, but make my life more exciting! Kind of like the movie "Yes, Man"...but more realistic since I am somebody's mother and I have to plow through those piles of laundry and unload the dishwasher occasionally...Hope you enjoy my journey!

Do you think paddle boards have a weight limit...

I have decided that tomorrow I must try paddle boarding. It is the newest craze among the young and fit. (Neither of which I am, but I doubt that will keep the surf shop from taking my credit card.) It looks like so much fun, standing on that slippery, wobbly, glossy piece of summer fun. I like to think of it as a diving board to a shark's stomach. Paddle boards are so brightly colored, too, like a beacon for all those innocent day-trippers. They will be able to witness me in all my cellulite glory as I try to straddle it and "work my core", wherever the heck that is.
