So I have taken a little break from the blog because I was trying to do some Cameron stuff. I took a trip to California with two of my fellow WWCD ladies from work. Flying anywhere used to have such a great meaning to it. You just got on a plane and took off. Now, you go to the airport and proceed to take everything off, your jacket, belt, shoes, pedometer, Teds stockings, Depends brief, corset, neck wrap, knee brace, spanx, and hair net. In the old days, you didn't worry about bringing anything on the plane. You just needed your alcohol nips, cigarette lighter, two packs of Marlboros and a deck of cards. Now you can't bring anything over 3 ounces, so you pre-hydrate be drinking 20 gallons of water every day starting two weeks before your flight. It would be so great if they sold a seat located in the bathroom, because that's where I spent the entire flight. When I actually took birth control pills, I didn't even know what a DVT was. On the plane I looked like I was practicing for the Indy 500 by the amount of times I flexed my foot to keep the blood flowing. We arrived intact, and what happened to us next is worth another entry tomorrow....
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!
