Moulin Rouge!

Enjoyed the musical production of Moulin Rouge at The Ed Mirvish Theatre last night!

Met up with the rents after work and we moseyed over on The path to meet up with Ames for dinner at Moon Palace, Atrium on the Bay.

The show was good but it definitely reminded me that it's been a REALLY LONG time since I first saw the movie with Nicole Kidman and Ewan McGregor...I'd like to watch the movie again as a refresher because THIS production incorporated many more pop songs
along with some of the original ones.

Granted, it was riveting....but I still dozed off near the end of the show (unfortunately, that TOTALLY gives my age away. Normally on the weekends, I'd definitely take a nap to avoid this but due to my working the entire day, this was quite unavoidable. Ah well, c'est la vie, non?

EXCEPT...The ultimate negative take away from last night showed up this morning on my left collar bone...I somehow managed to feed the last mosquito from gosh knows what...what an annoyance to now be dealing with an extra itch, ai yah.

Joey’s, pedi & Eataly

Started out the morning working out to Jamie Foxx's 'what had happened was' on netflix which was artfully explained in his standup show that brought comparative flashbacks to my own 'situation' from back over two decades ago...definitely felt very relatable.
Went out to lunch at Joey's (where we split a couple of appetizers and finished on those amazing donuts!) with Fayewood before accompanying her to Aphrodite Spa & Nails for a pedicure with my pedicurist (Tony). As I regularly visit the salon with my rents, we're taken care of so well (with a foot massage too! Granted it's something I normally pay extra for, lol).

Afterwards, we headed over to Eataly for some quick grocery pick ups for Irene before calling it a day.

Before dining at Joey's though, I'd like to thank Fayewood for her most magnificant xmas present to me...a new pair of earrings!!!! This is such a heartfelt gift as she knew I was looking to repair the emerald earrings (one's stem had broken) that I have really been so sad about it's demise...but have been wearing the penguin earrings from Witkos in the spirit of christmas!

In return, I covered our lunch out...even though I don't feel it's a comparable gift in return, I suppose it will have to do. Or as I personally like to think....it's the thought that counts! Still, I'm very excited about trying them out tomorrow!!! :)
