I've been drooling over Eva Longoria's 6 episode CNN show that she produced with American actor and author Stanley Tucci. It's definitely peaked my travel and taste buds!

Christie Pitts deja vu

The last time since I'd been in the Christie Pitts area was back in my early uni days and some SMCSU reps lived in that area so it would be the only reason to go over to that park! ;)

As I was dropped off a few minutes early, checked out a cutsey gift shop called 'Hanji Gifts' where I picked up some stickers that I plan to brighten up my upcoming letters that I send to Gia!

It’s been awhile since Mich & I caught up since our first meeting in 🇯🇵!!! #damda

Hibachi Teppanyaki & Bar

After dropping Dad at Fairview subway so he went to catch the game tonight with Ames, mom & I had sushi for dins (we decided to go plain and simple as opposed to the teppanyaki frying because it was just us two).

However, we shared a teppanyaki table with another family (as we were literally the first customers, surprised? lol!) and ended up leaving with a whole smoke smell as the other party ordered the whole deal (& thus STILL caught a free show!).

Easter Monday mail out on it’s way!

As it's been a bit since I've sent my niece (via my sister from another mother) a letter with poetry phrases from iconic poems so I took the time to prepare a letter yesterday with Easter Joy by Lenore Hetrick. I'd like to pat myself on the back for my intuition as I was able to stop by the Shoppers at CenterPoint Mall to mail it out while waiting for mom during her physio appt this morning.

I had given S a heads up when the idea occurred so I took a snapshot of the drop off as proof! ;) that it's in the mail and now up to our mailing service to follow through! Also included a cute list of things learned from the Easter bunny!

TGI(Good)F

for a zoo visit!!!

Of course, I ended the visit with a jelly bean bag treat that really DOES taste like pancakes and syrup (I've literally only had a couple so planning to slowly go through the bag).

Caught up with Fayewood for brunch at Sisters & Co Restuarant off 14th ave & Birchmount.

Then spent the arvo at Ames' and brought sushi for dins at her place...yum!

Churro aujourd’hui! 😋

I treated mom out tonight to hear a candlelight string quartet performance
of my fav Coldplay songs!
I say 'treat' because I had paid for the entire outting as she didn't want me to attend all by myself, which I really didn't see any issue with...but hey (shrugs), it's MY HAPPY PLACE!!!!

A thrill ride (?)

Let me preface with a disclaimer that the WheelTrans service has changed so much (for the good) since I began using it oh so long ago...

My original p/u was at 6:30 and eta was around 7:45. However, I've found that if I randomly check the website, on occasion an option to check if there are earlier p/u's buttom is available. This morning there WAS and after clicking on it, the option of a 5:55 p/u came up (which I clicked because why not? lol). So I was able to change my p/u to 6:05 (expected altho the actual time was listed as 6:14) Granted the ride arrived closer to 6:20 BUT the driver seriously drove like a mad person on the dvp/gardiner so I literally arrived by 6:40!

So, I'm here and my nerves are excited! Let's see how the day goes (as this week's already been a bit of a shocker, what with a very unexpected loss of a long time coworker...)

Ki with the C’s!

Valentines wishes!

The office distributed these delightful treats preemptively on Weds but I plan to share them with Ames tomorrow when we meet up for an early dinner!

STILL, it's nice to share the love!

It’s been awhile….excellent catchup #besties
