Kristine needed a new eyebrow pencil, and so we ventured into our favourite Esthetique, at Paléet ("House of Beauty", they call it, hah). We haven't been there together since before Christmas, on our search for presents, and one of the attendants remembered us: "Oh, I remember you two! I did your make-up once, both of you." And she went on like we were old friends. My dentist recognizes me, my hair-stylist, and now an attendant at Esthetique. She's very sweet and gracious, but, good grief, she recognized us. I don't think I've encountered her since that time before Christmas. Perhaps a hint that I buy too much cosmetics?

And I think I need to buy myself a graduation present. Feeding the Guerlain obsession with their new "METEORITES Perles, Light-Diffusing Perfecting Primer" and a coral lip-gloss seems a very good idea. The primer is deliciously decadent, and gives the skin a wonderful glow. Not as decadent as the one with 24 carat gold specks, but who says I cannot have both?

I survived the English exam, I think. I wrote a horrendous interpretation of Tennyson's Ulysses, and forgot what his best friend's name was (allegedly referred to in the poem, as Achilles). There is at least one quote I forgot to reference *headdesk*
