2. The pedicure was this color.
3. I was pretty sure my pedicure lady was talking about me to the adjacent pedicure lady, which, you know, par for the course, and all that. However! PRO TIP: I have determined that googling how to say "I understand you" in Korean ("ah deh suh yo"), and very quietly muttering it to yourself will aid you in ascertaining whether or not your pedicure lady is in fact talking about you. The giveaway is the stricken look. (Assuming, of course, that she is Korean.) (Note: she was.) (What the hell was she saying about me?) Thank you, Google!
4. I have a recipe for EASY, quick sesame noodles up at Aiming Low today. They are life-changing! Be advised however...
5...That to get to it, you'll have to endure photos of my "ugly ass thumb." (Thank you, commenter Bob Ross!)
6. It's Lo's birthday next Sunday; because of our trip, we held her party this weekend with our families. I WILL spare you yet another unending family post; however, I do need you to see this here cake...
...and the birthday girl in her crown:
Aw.
UPDATE: A bunch of people have asked about the nail polish shade; it's OPI On Collins Avenue!

Aww! she is so cute! Happy birthday little girl!! awesome cake!
You should learn the Korean for "I drink your milkshake" and say that instead. Stricken AND confused looks will abound. Abound, I say!
Ooh, what is the name of that color? I am getting a pedicure tomorrow and I am craving something coral-ly.
I have a "thing" for polish, is that color Cajun Shrimp? It is a fabulous "I am sitting on a beach with an adult beverage color" or a "I wish I was sitting on a beach with a bucket of adult beverage color".
Korean, really? In my locale it is most likely Vietnamese.
Oooh...my salon uses that same line of nail colors.
And my GOODNESS is she not the cutest thing? Happy Birthday!
(Also - does that tiara come in adult sizes?)
Although I'm usually a french manicure kind of girl, I HAD to have some color on my nails, so last time I got my nails done I went with OPI's Red Pearl - fabulously red and shiny with just a hint of sparkle when you're in the sun. LOVE.
The nail salons in my area are almost all owned by Vietnamese people. The Korean women run the um..."massage" places around here. I'm sure that would require learning a whole different category of phrases!
Also - that crown is all kinds of fabulous!! I want one for my birthday :)
1. Was that comment from the late Bob Ross, painter on PBS? Like the thumb was so "ugly ass" that he came back from the other side to inform you?
(I think your thumb is just fine, by the way. TAKE THAT, BOB ROSS.)
2. Totally making those noodles for dinner tonight. Yum!!
3. Lo and the cake are both beautiful!
BRILLIANT to look up that saying. I might have to try that sometime during my next mani/pedi :)
Oh and if that is Cajun Shrimp (like Jacki mentioned)-- I have that color and it's awesome. I don't stray from my french or dark colors either very often, but when I found this- I went for it. Nice and bright for summer!

1) She is adorable and so is her cake.
2) I'm jealous of your nail polish adventurousness, because I am the queen of boring nail colors. It's Essie Mademoiselle, all the time. Like, literally ALWAYS.
3) I assume you've seen Anjelah Johnson's bit on nail salons? If not, GO NOW.

Have a lovely vacation!

Sorry for the double post there...apparently I need a remedial class in commenting.
1. 'ah deh suh yo' in Korean actually means, "uh, no thank you."
2. "ah rah deu ruh so yo" means "I understand you".
Didn't want you to wonder why your manicurist stopped painting your nails if you said it to her the next time. =)
When I saw the photo of the cake, I was like "what happened to it? It looks like someone scribbled on it!" I forgot it had Lo's name on it!
Also, I just clicked over to the comments on the AL post and I'm laughing at the thumb comment and then Jimmy Johnson, who does not like your use of spaghetti.
HAVE A GREAT TRIP!!
The cake is awesome! Where did you get it from? And I see from a commenter that "ah deh suh yo" meant something different, but doesn't it kind of sound like, "I understand you" when you say it out loud?
1. That is almost the exact! color the bridal party rocked at my little sister's wedding a few years ago. I still have it and I love it.
2. I'm so psyched to make those noodles.
3. I almost bought myself a tiara when I was at Target running work-related company picnic errands on my birthday because, well, WHY NOT? (My head is apparently a bit too big for kid's-sized tiaras, is the reason why not.)
Have an awesome! getaway.
That cake is amazing!!
Have fun in St. Lucia! It was searing hot in April, so have fun with that...buy the umbrellas at the beach unless you are staying somewhere that has its own beach gear.
Are you still doing Ask a Jew? If so, what is the Maxwell House haggadah?
i have that color and LOVE it. it's so flattering. (it's the cajun one right?)
lo is adorable. SO cute in her crown.
What's even cooler is when you go to the nail salon with your Asian MIL and you are quite certain they are all talking about you!
And your daughter is ADORBS.
Have a nice vacay.
