So, one of the many things you must do when in California (or so we were told), is to take a drive down Mulholland Drive.
The following are words I'd use to describe this road:
winding (whose idea was it to put a road on top of a mountain)
scenic (I'm assuming; the only thing I ever saw were the floor mats)
breathtaking (don't forget your nebulizer)
awe inspiring (how did the contractors ever get building permits )
fast paced (the guy driving behind us might as well have been sitting in my lap, or at least have put a dollar tip in my underwear)
glamorous (it definitely pays to go to acting school)
hair-raising (never have I seen such a large percentage of toupees in convertibles in one place)
untamed (the rattlesnake and mountain lion warning signs were a little unnerving)
It was fun, and challenging, and oh so memorable, and next time I promise I'll open my eyes!
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!
