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!

Is that cabbage soup I smell (translation: I'm moving into the guest bedroom)

So, one of the best ways to be successful on the famously endorsed lifestyle change plan that I'm following is to eat copious amounts of a certain vegetable soup recipe. And the reason you lose so much weight is because your food is propelled through your digestive tract like a BMW on the Autobahn. I live with and embrace the soup, because the only other way I have found to lose weight faster is by donating a pint of blood. However, the soup has profound effects on the interpersonal relationships with my friends, family, coworkers and fellow churchgoers. The ingredients are as follows:

Cabbage: thoroughly cleanses the stomach and intestines and may cause gas    in some people

Onions: may produce gas and the flatulence associated with it 

Garlic:  Halitosis or bad body odor is one of the main side effects

Carrots: The pigment of carotenes makes your skin look orange, which is sometimes called Carotenemia 

So, ultimately, the look I will achieve is a 5 foot tall, giant carrot with bad breath, who is skilled at finding public bathrooms, knows the cheapest toilet paper brand and can wear a large Pull-Up under a size 4 pair of pants
