What would Cameron do....: Mom, what's that on your thigh?

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!

Mom, what's that on your thigh?

Immediately, I think I have a wasp on my leg (even though I'm in my bedroom with all the windows closed). I thought I heard buzzing.

Mom, hello? ...Oh God, where do I have to inject my epipen again? Where's the Benadryl?

Mom, can you hear me?.... I hope my underwear are clean because some of the firefighters in our town are pretty cute.

Mom, are you ok?...Where's my health insurance card? Do you think they are going to ask me what I weigh for the steroid drip?

Mom, Dude, hello?...Is it going to take more than two paramedics to lift my gurney into the ambulance?

Mom, mom, what's that on your leg?...Oh, for God's sake Mia, that's just some extra padding that's been there since birth...
