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!

I bet no one asks Cameron to scrub anything....

Occasionally at work, I hear the dreaded question...
WOULD YOU LIKE TO SCRUB A C-SECTION?

The minute I start to hear scr_ _, I start to think of the many things I would rather do....such as:

...I would rather comb the dingle berries out of my dogs bum
...I would prefer to go back to first grade and drink the skim milk that's been sitting on the counter for three hours
...I would rather go to my childhood dentist who I am sure was on a day pass from federal prison
...I would retake my orthodontic impressions with a hangover after eating a bowl of Dinty Moore Beef Stew
...I would sit through a double feature of "Battlefield Earth" and "Bio Dome"
...I would rather have a colonoscopy with no anesthesia and/or bowel prep after eating buffalo chicken calzones
...I would go on another blind date with the guy who had braces but hadn't mastered the use of dental floss and had no concept of social space
...I would rather retake 10th grade gym class which consisted of 4 semesters of tall people sports
...I would get a tattoo saying "Where's my Precious?" across my forehead
