Fun Friday!

Today Kerri and I went to get our nails done at a Vietnamese owned and operated nail salon. You would think a movie star was in the salon, the way the girls all oohed and aahed over Kerri. She even had to have her polish reapplied three times (because she kept messing up her manicure), and the ladies never complained - or charged me for that matter. It was interesting to talk to my nail technician about Vietnam, and I was surprised when she leaned over and whispered "you are so nice to adopt her." After my usual "we are the lucky ones" speech, she went on to tell me she was surprised a Caucasian would adopt an Asian child and treat her like she was Asian first, Caucasian second. I then realized Kerri was wearing her "Mei Mei" Chinese shirt.

After Kerri handed out Yogos to everyone in the salon and inspected everyone's choice of nail polish, we headed out to run some errands. Our last stop was at a new children's salon that opened close to my home. We were the only customers, so Kerri schmoozed the owner and made out like a bandit. She got a full haircut (but I was only charged for a bang trim - a whole $6!), and then given a lollipop and a tiara, that she is still wearing hours later.

Tonight Nana comes to visit and tomorrow I will have my camera ready for all the birthday party fun. We have a party for the kids first, then the adults are going out to eat with Kerri. It will be a long day, so I am bringing extra pain pills with me - there is no way I am missing this! No worries, hubby will handle the Mama Mobile.

Life with Kerri is full of anticipation!
