What would Cameron do....: Trapeze school, here I come!

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!

Trapeze school, here I come!

For my 46 birthday, my daughter presented me with a gift certificate for a lesson at Trapeze School of New York. My first excuse not to go was to tell her I couldn't possibly go to New York with my busy schedule (obsessively vacuuming and re-vacuuming a virtually endless supply of dog fur). That didn't work since it's only four towns away. Wracking my brain for another excuse, I told her I couldn't possibly wear a leotard because the spandex industry couldn't recover from that kind of a hit. She assured me that I could wear whatever I wanted, so I've been looking on EBay for a Harry Potter Invisibility Cloak but haven't had much luck. Once I get that, I will make an appointment and I might even let her videotape me. Wearing the cloak, of course...
