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 a love bite on your neck?

So I finally reached the 25 pound mark. It's taken since October 1st, but I have to say it hasn't been very painful at all. I've gone on a cruise, two trips to New York, Aruba, California, skiing with the Wild Women of Winter, and weekly trips to Salsa's Mexican restaurant. How exciting to finally have reached my goal. And what do I get for it? A round piece of metal that looks like it was manufactured under the wheels of a locomotive. I wonder which employee gets to stand at the train station and place the slugs on the tracks. Do they get extra pay for that? Nonetheless, I put it on and raced home to show everyone. My husband said, what's that on your neck? I run in the bathroom and find a black mark that if I squint, looks a little like the full body profile of Winston Churchill. Maybe they should rethink the shape into an oval, so at least when it leaves it's imprint on your skin, it comes out looking like Giselle Bundchen.
