A tiny splurge

Not a great photo, but this was our lil' splurge on our 24 hour jaunt through airports and airplanes from Japan to Montana. Neither Lucy nor I have ever had a manicure, and I thought I would let her get one to kill some time in Seoul. She talked me into joining her, so we got matching spotted nails for much much too much wan, but she was thrilled. Showed every person who came within 5 feet of us for the next 3 days! Now that I am home, crashing in my parent's basement until I get gainful employment, and a bit worried about being in this land of crazy medical costs, Lucy's only splurge for a long bit will be one or two of the long list of over-marketed High School Musical products she has been begging to have...for her birthday next month, maybe!

Also a bit surprised at the excess of paperwork I now how to fill our for job applications...including fingerprinting and the whole works. If only the rain would turn to snow and I could get on some skis. This might cure me of my penny-pinching for a weekend or two!

これは日本からの２４時間の長い旅のプチ贅沢です。時間つぶしと思って、韓国のインチョン空港でLUCYとマニクア。同じ水玉でかわいいでしょう？その後、近くにいった人の皆に喜んで見せた。今から仕事を探さないと生活できなくなる私に、しばらく最後の贅沢かな〜。来月の誕生日ぐらいまでに、ちょっとケチなママになるので。。。でも、今日の冷たい雨は雪に変わってく、スキー場に行けたら、ちょっとケチがなくなるかも。。。
