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!

If only my paycheck multiplied like my dog's fur....

How is it that dogs came to be called dogs. If I was God, and I was naming the animals, I would have called dogs "furs". I'm certainly not second guessing God's skills, but that one could have taken a few more minutes to finalize.

If my dog's name was fur, first of all, we would never lose him. Because all I'd have to say is, "has anyone seen the fur?", and the answer would be yes. No matter where you look in my house, there is fur. There is fur in the coffee grinder, in the crock pot, in the nail polish, in the clean laundry, in the toilet brush and on the bananas. If my husband asks me, "do I have something on my tooth?", you can bet dollars to donuts there is an stray wisp hanging out there for inspection. I have thought of collecting the fur from the vacuum cleaner and making a little wig for "he who shall not be named's" expanding bald spot, but unfortunately it's the wrong color, not to mention a little off kilter in the texture department. There is nothing worse than getting out of the shower and drying off with a 50% cotton/50% fur bath towel. And forget about the corners of my living room. I just vacuumed up a fur clump that a baby squirrel could probably breastfeed from. It's time again to go and brush the fur's dog...

  1. By looking at your bucket list it appears you need to move number 10 to number 1 in order to successfully move through items 2, 4, 7 and 9... =-)
