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!

My husband's metabolism should be part of a study

So we just came back from vacation, which for me, is like being lost in a corn maze of calories. At every turn is a temptation. Each day, we would trek off to the beach with a cooler that weighed as much as my kitchen refrigerator. I would say, "Do we need all this food?" and my husband would say, "we should bring enough for everyone". Does he mean everyone on the other side of the Sagamore Bridge? He would cap off each night with "It's time for ice cream", which is a particular weakness for me. But for him, he gets a hot fudge sundae with any food item that can be dumped in it. I love vacation, but if I hung around with him too much I'd be blowing out of my bathing suit in no time at all. After only six days away, I put on 3 pounds. I asked him what he gained, and he looked at me like I was insane. He said "what do you mean by gained, like knowledge, nothing, I was on vacation, I was giving my brain a rest". Jerk...
