...and just like that I'm done. I know I set out to do 52 weeks but I got bored of it and I'm doing so many other things I just don't have time to do this anymore. So that's it. I contemplated continuing the journey but for what purpose? Just to say I did? Naaah...I'd rather move on to bigger and better things so that's what I'm doing.
So ciao everyone. Au revoir. Salute. Paco Paco. Arrivarderci. Aloha. Cheerio. TTFN. Dobra Genia. Das Vidanya. (...and don't check into the spelling of any of my farewells!).
Buh-bye!

City Chase
Yesterday my friend and I went in the Mitsubishi City Challenge. It's like the Amazing Race all in one day. You get a clue sheet with 40 clues on it and you have to decipher them then choose a route to take you to 10 Chase Points where you then do a task at each one. There were over 500 teams. We think there were close to 700 teams actually. Anyway, we crossed the line and placed 36th! We were sooooooooo excited! The City Chase is an amazing experience to share with a friend. We made so many great memories. I woke up today smiling at all we shared and experienced together.
Below are the 10 tasks we had to do (all the tasks have titles):
1) Boot Camp - this was an obstacle course we had to run through twice.
2) Using Your Head - I had to put a helmet with a bucket on it on my head and my partner had to throw a ball in it. Then I had to move 10 yards further away and she had to do it again, then I moved 10 yards further back 2 more times.
3) Burn It Off - At Goodlife Fitness we chose a chocolate bar. It had 240 calories on it so we had to burn that off on the eliptical.
4) Knee Slapper - There was a HUGE line up at this one which was at Absolute Comedy. Luckily, my partner figured out that the first 25 people who went to Boot Camp got a Front of the Line pass so that's why we did Boot Camp first and we did get the pass. So we got to Knee Slapper and simply walked to the front of the line probably saving us an hour! The thing is, we got there and moved so fast that I didn't even know what the task was by the time my partner got up on the stage. We had to pop a balloon with our butt and then there was a piece of paper inside that said Jackhammer. Next thing I know, she goes up on the stage and says she's going to imitate Britney Spears singing while using a Jackhammer! She was so funny but the 'judges' weren't really laughing (everyone else was though). Finally, they gave us our Chase Point if my partner promised to get off the stage!
5) Serve 'em Up - This was at Jack Astor's. I made a drink and then my partner had to balance the glass on her forhead and pour the drink into it.
6) Tissue? - In Yorkville we had to each produce a real tear! Do you have any idea how hard that is??
7) Footie - At Fionn MacCool's we had to answer trivia about the World Cup. My partner went inside and asked the bartended who knew all the answers!
8) Unchain My Heart - On the Danforth they tied us together with a chain and gave us some mathematical clues that we had to figure out to get the combination to unchain ourselves.
9) Tied Up - At Korry's Clothiers my partner had to tie a bowtie around my neck.
10)Chase Point #1 - This was cool. If you raised $50 previous to the race and registered that then you got this Chase Point simply by showing up to one of 2 locations. Always a good bet!
Oh, Craig? I know I've been ignoring you but really...City Chase?...Craig?...City Chase?...Craig?...City Chase?...Craig?....sorry, I have to go with the City Chase on this one Craig. I know you think I'm using you but that's life sometimes so just suck it up.

"Busy, Busy, Busy", said the magician in Frosty The Snowman
How beautiful is the weather tonight!?!!! How can I talk to Craig when the weather is so gorgeous? I know, I know...I need 2 items this week. I may miss it and have to get 3 next week. I know, it's piling up. I can't help it. I'm so 'busy, busy, busy...'

Stop the Banging!
I need to calm down. Have you ever had your roof done? Sitting in the house while they do it is NOT the thing to do. It sounds like they're ripping the house apart! I can't stand it! Can't wait until it's done. I can't believe how hard they work though. They came here at 7:30am and they're still here almost 12 hours later!

Week 22: Bag of Books
I got carried away tonight with other activities and almost forgot to post my weekly buy/sell item! So with just under 2 hours to this weeks deadline here it is...wait for it...wait for it...I bought a bag of books! I know. Not very exciting and no stories to go with it but a bag of books for $2 is a pretty good deal and I bought them from a garage sale advertised with Craig so it's all good.
Other than that, yesterday I went to St. Jacob's. I haven't been there in about 10 years and it has changed quite a lot. The farmers market is massive and I bought some really great fresh meat and vegetables and fruit. I could spend a whole week-end there. Love the main little strip just outside the market too. I'll definitely be going back in the fall.
BUY: $2
CATEGORY: Garage Sales

Updates from Past Posts
A couple of updates from previous posts.
Roof:
Remember as a lark I posted my roofing shingles for sale and all the lude comments I received? Well the roof update is this...of course I didn't sell it, never intended to. I just wanted to see the crazy comments I would get. The roofers will arrive on Monday and will proceed to give me a new roof so it's all good.
Boot Camp:
I had bought boot camp from Craig way back in March. I tried it back then but didn't actually join it until April 19th. Well it's been 7 weeks now and I absolutely love it!! I go 3 times a week. Who knew that I would enjoy an ex marine yelling at me 3 hours a week to 'Keep it going!', 'Get it up!', 'Faster!', 'Don't quit!'? It's the best, Jerry! The best!
Books:
I've bought quite a few books, Craig. You don't know that yet because you haven't seen my next post about my last buy. However, I did buy a couple that you know about as well as those cool Monster Mags and I've thoroughly enjoyed them!
