Takeout from Pho Time Authentic Vietnamese Eatery
This is not good. We are ordering too much takeout during this pandemic! Despite being so obedient the first month and eating exclusively home-cooked food to avoid interacting too much with the outside world, ever since we broke the seal on Easter long weekend with our first takeout meal, we’ve been going out to buy takeout more and more often. 
Anyway, Pho Time Authentic Vietnamese Eatery (9255 Woodbine Ave, Unit 7A) is a brand new Vietnamese restaurant that Continue reading

Quick screenshot that I got on my phone while we were in between songs
I am so glad that years ago after attending classes at Flirty Girl Fitness, I stayed subscribed to their e-mail list. They changed over into Elle Fitness years later (I still have one class left to attend on my punch card actually), but I never went back for more classes at the new fitness studio.
I went through some of the e-mails in my inbox this weekend and discovered that Elle Fitness has Continue reading
