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!

Jogging isn't for hobbits...

Cameron probably runs, so I thought it would be great to go for a "run". So many of the girls at work do it and they are all slim, veiny and statuesque. Well, I should be asking the hobbits at work what they are doing for exercise and not the gazelles. We started out well, but good God, my lungs must be as big as kidney beans. I feel sure that my lips were turning blue because I had to keep stopping so that I could gasp. I'm not sure many marathon runners gasp. It just doesn't seem normal. Plus, the Rocco was trying to poop at the same time. We made it though, 4 1/2 miles in just under six hours. Not too bad for our first time.
