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!

Why I will never provide the baked goods at an AA meeting...

The other day, I thought it would be lovely to make a home made angel food cake for my husband's birthday. After using all of the eggs from the dairy section at our local supermarket, I managed to get 12 whites without any visible yolk. While whipping them for what seemed like the duration of the 2012 summer olympics, I assembled the cake and placed it in the oven. It looked so lovely and airy when it was done, and I carefully placed it on top of the only bottle I had, my husband's Limoncello. Later that night, ready to proudly display my work of culinary art, I tipped the bottle over and shrieked as the cap came off and doused the cake with 35% alcohol by volume. The cake was tangy and yummy, and the best part was everyone slept over because their blood alcohol was over the legal driving limit.

    Someone has been nipping at the Limoncello? Hmmm...now which sisters who went to Italy without ME are to blame for this little situation? (It must have been the fish.)
