A California Girl In Kansas

Of course this would happen right after I make the decision to move back.  First California nearly burns down.  And then it gets a little closer to falling into the ocean.
Get my lemon drop ready, Big Sis.  We may be ducking and covering under the table for awhile.

Maddy & Nicholas.  They don’t call me Auntie Shea-Shea for nuthin’.

Jill.  She’s the kind of BFF that knows you have approximately six dollars left in your checking account, thus treats you to an iced coffee and gelato, brainstorms with you about becoming private dicks (need: trenchcoats, listening devices, frosted glass window that says J & S Investigations, etc.), treats you to an episode of How I Met Your Mother and […]

To commemorate my departure from Kansas to the California Promise Land, I’m counting down up the Top 100 Things I Love About California and the Top 100 Things I Love About Kansas.  I’ll give you a few each day.  I know.  You’re so friggin’ excited that you don’t even know how to contain it.

I am not so keen on the idea of even owning one of those beasts, but it turns out that I need one for business purposes…
If you do, send me an email at shea@californiagirlinkansas.com.
Grazi.

I feel that it’s my civic duty to help Chimpotle start a Friday Feast revolution.  So here we go:
Appetizer

Hmmm… I am gonna go with The Putdown.  Andy’s most recent post about the pumpkin contest was HILARIOUS.  Sometimes the PD is on the NSFW side and sometimes […]
