$10

What I would like to do with $10:
*Buy 2 Coffee's
*Wash my car
*Get a redbox movie (Because lets be honest, this is how much it really costs me!)
*See a movie in a theatre.. Even better
*Take Zachie to subway & watch him eat a whole 6inch + Chips
*Buy cheap Wine
*Put 1/4 tank of gas in my car that I hate
*Buy a new Ipod cover
HOWEVER....This is what I did with the $10.....
I wanted to get my nails done. It has been almost 2 years since I have, and I feel like I deserve to have them for a minute. I go to little China (No it is not really called that... Obviously...) to get them done because Asians are the best at this. I go in & am not awknowledged by lil lady for over 3 minutes... This should have been my first clue. Finally I ask her (she is the only one in the shop.. and she is sitting in a pedi chair watching Tv...) "ARE YOU OPEN???????" She walks over & some lil man comes in from outside and says "you siii her"(you sit here?) lil lady says 'mawiquo'(manicure?) I nod and tell her "full set" I can see she is not understanding because she is filing my real nails tip, She would not be doing that if she was planning on covering them with a fake tip. I ask her if she is going to do Tips for me? She says "yes yes"... I can see this is not going to happen when she starts lotioning my hands. I am getting severly annoyed with this woman. I point at the acrylic and tell her "I want this... You use this?" I am trying to talk english she might understand. Apparently she thinks I like the color? She tells me "k, wah you hans" As she is pointing to the sink. FINE. I AM DONE WITH THIS!!!!!! Afterwards she paints tips on my real nails and puts the pink color on the top so it is darker. This woman has annoyed me more than anyone in a long time! I am sorry but she lives in America. It would be benificial for her to learn some english. Especially when it pertains to her line of work. Seriously, So arrogant. I didn't want to pay the $10 but I knew that I wouldn't be able to explain why!!!! "Teh Dolla" I paid it. Then I felt like a huge ass for not tipping her... Because she is stupid~ excuse the french ;) She didn't realize she did anything wrong. I felt like I was punishing a small child. She looks at me, looks at the reciept, looks back at me. She should have been able to feel the tension in that room from my glare though. You could have cut it with a knife! THERE IS AN ELEPHANT IN HERE BUT LETS NOT TALK ABOUT IT mostly because she wouldn't understand me!!! Oh my....... I was so damn pissed!
"Yo cah bak marrow. no prin recit..." I DONT NEED MY RECIEPT. GET ME OUT OF LITTLE CHINA!!!!!!!!!!
Here is the finished product.

What was she thinking???? Well we all know what I was thinking.
Have a nice day and do not visit China on 7000 S Redwood rd. It is No Good.

Oh no. I would have been hyperventilating. That makes me crazy! They do look cute though.

I totally blog stalk you and don't even know you. I found your blog through Brooke Jame's blog list.

Anyway.... THIS IS SO FUNNY. I'm not a nails kind of girl because I just bite them off but I have experienced the asian salons (even one called Paris Nails?!?) and there are no words for how much I appreciate your rendition of the accents! SO FUNNY. Thanks for the laugh.
