thanks to ha and jen, my face is now radiant, dewy, and positively glowing! well, i pretend it is anyway. (= the two lovelies took me to get a facial at in-symmetry today, and as a first-time facial-er, i definitely enjoyed myself - it was so relaxing that i practically fell asleep. good stuff.

after the three-plus hours at in-symmetry (which had some very sweet resident felines, btw), we headed off to chez maman for some yummy french delights. the 14 or so seats in the tiny diner (bistro? i dunno) made it so we had to wait for a bit in the cold, but the food was well worth it. my savoyarde crepe with proscuitto, tomatoes, brie and bechamel sauce? très délicieux!
