I’m Leaving On A Jet Plane

by


I’m goin’ back to Cali, Cali, Cali…
Well, technically, I’ll be limping back to Cali 😉


My knee is still… whatever!?
But I’m off to California tomorrow.
I promise to go to the doctor when I get back 
if I have not had any improvement.
Really, I promise!

My hubby got my a super {huge} sturdy 
knee brace and that is helping.

So, I will be hobbling my butt through
the San Fran airport and then into LAX.

I will get to see my mom & dad for the first time in two years. I talk to my mom all the time, so it doesn’t feel like it’s been that long… but it has!

I just saw my sister in February when we took
We had a really great time.

My sister (thanks Nicole!) pulled some strings 
and got me an appointment with her hairdresser, so I will be 
getting a new do while I am there.
I am really looking forward to it!!
(I’ll have to wait until I get home to blond again, but it’s a start)


I didn’t realize how long my hair was. 
My stylist and I decided to leave the extra length so I could donate again sooner, while still having 12 inches to give at the time.

Subsequently, 
I don’t have much of an actual “style”.  
My hair hasn’t really looked too hot 
since I got it cut! 
So… I’ll be getting a 
REAL HAIRCUT.
I’ll be picking one of the styles 
we all originally weighed in on.

Plus, I found a new one to add to the contenders.
This looks fun for Summer!
And I like the color too.


I’ll be getting a pedi while I’m there too!


Although… it will look more like this 😉


Other then that…
I think we will be keeping it pretty low key, 
thanks to “the knee”.

I imagine we will manage to get in a little retail therapy… 
I am SURE that will cure what ails me.
(and, if I went to the doctor, I am sure it would 
have been included in his orders)

My sister is 5 minutes from

A fabulous, open-air shopping center, 
with cobble stone walk ways and 
every store you can imagine!

They have a giant 
out at Victoria Gardens and I’m 
on the hunt for a replacement for my
:sob:
discontinued… so… sad…

I bought two off ebay as soon as I heard,
but sadly, I need to move on 
and find something new to replace it.
(if you know of anything? I would be thrilled to hear about it)

I use a smash up of skin care!
I blame it on being a counter manager at Macy’s for several years and using everything from 
Chanel to Clinique.

But I not a snob, I’ll use anything if I love it.

I think we will skip going down into LA to shop.
Which is too bad.
Because it’s really fun!!

I grabbed two new books. 
So I am set for the fight.
I kind of read fast, which is sort of not good.
 Because I burn through books, 
and lots of times, the story is really good 
and I want it to last longer.

I don’t plan to blog while I am gone
so I’ll catch up with everyone when I get back!

Enjoy the lovely Summer days.


PS~I sent Mrs. Debbie McFresh a little something 
and she is sharing it tomorrow at

    I hope you have a wonderful time, Shannon! I know you will. It’s amazing how quickly time passes, isn’t it…not seeing family for two years? How wonderful that you will spend some time with Mom and Dad. I hope your knee doesn’t bother you too much while you are there. Blessings for a safe trip- xo Diana

    You may be Leaving On a Jet Plane, but you’ve got me California Dreaming.

    I’d give you a list of things to eat for me while you are there but there isn’t enough time unless you stay for a year!

    Have a fun and safe trip, Shannon! We have a shopping center like that here. One is called The Greene and they are building another one closer to my home. It incorporates offices and luxury apartments on the upper floors.

    I hope you find a replacement ~ I used to use the Almay Kinetin and when they discontinued that I found a few on ebay as well. But they are totally gone now and I have yet to find anything that makes my skin feel as good. As a cream cleanser I did find Olay is pretty good in comparison.

  9. Sharon @ mrshinesclass says

    Fun, fun, fun! I’m headed to Cali the last week of this month! Any insider travel tips, places to see you can give would be great…we’ll be in LA/Burbank, Anaheim and then on to San Luis Obisbo to see friends.
    I’m glad you’re able to get away..and I hope your knee heals up.
    Enjoy your family time!

    Can you pop on FB some? I might have withdrawals! I love the new hairstyle option, and I hope you do get some toe bling! That would be awesome! I hope your knee heals completely on the plane 🙂 See you when you get back! I know you’ll have a great time!
