Sunday on the EDGE

Unfortunately, I declined to go to EDGE this time due to my coffers being low. Besides, I knew BM was going to leave that day and I didn't want to miss saying Bye. We had a huge breakfast at the Golden Griddle as usual and just shot the breeze. We also had lonely with us so we took a pic of him with all of our food.  Something about Mish owing him a meal so we wanted it to look good with all the plates there. *giggles* BM got the best copy of this... mine was a little too much to the side.

Later we hung out and helped BM eventually move all 2 tons of his equipment back into his vehicle. Didn't take too long but it was sad to see him leaving. Everyone said their goodbyes and hugged and off he went...  

So now it was just a few people left including Mish, Alah, SR and myself among others. Most people were already taking off that morning / afternoon and only a few like RChan and Chucker were staying on till sometime in the week.

Mish, Alah, SR and myself ended up going out to the Eaton Centre to walk around and eat. Mish was looking for a hockey jersey and other souvenirs for her family. Eventually we stopped off at the food court and stopped to eat and talk. After some walking around we ended up outside in this nice little park area to the side of the mall. We found a strange pigeon (insert picture here) which I got a nice pic of. Everyone sat near this Irish labyrinth maze thingy outside. It was pretty simple and not all that cool but interesting nonetheless. I took some pics of the area and of the group (insert pictures here.)

After heading back, SR and Alah mentioned they were leaving pretty soon so we said our goodbyes and Mish and myself went upstairs to rest if I remember correctly. Lately we came downstairs for supper and found Eri, RChan and Chucker with a few others hanging around in the lobby. After some conversation we decided to run to a place Eri thought we'd like called the Pickle Barrel. OMG This place rocked. It looked like a mix between an Olive Garden and Luby's restaurant but very posh I thought. Maybe more like Le Madeline's... not sure but it wasn't shabby at all. The prices were very reasonable. I mean they had these huge desserts that here would cost 8 bucks but there only cost about $3 US if even that much. Everything was so wallet friendly.  I ordered some veggie quesadillas which ended up being pretty good. Mish got a large bagette type sandwich thingy. Rchan and Chucker shared a pink strawberry milkshake thingy with a plate of belgium waffles (which looked so good) that had a side of what I thought was cream but was really ice cream. Eri had already eaten so she got this HUGE Sundae thingy with brownies sticking out of it and an even bigger chocolate milkshake float thing. We tried a bit of that and it was awesome!  After eating Mish wanted dessert since I had mentioned seeing this family in the front area with nothing but chocolate desserts.  I got the huge sundae and Mish got a nice (very large chunk) of tiramasu.  Everything was just so good I can't even talk about it here w/o feeling peckish.

So... we hung out in the lobby and then Mish was tired and so was I and I knew I needed sleep cause it was late and we were both taking off the next day. Mish went upstairs to rest and pack and I went upstairs to grab my dirty laundry and get that done. Took forever in the little bit of a room they called a laundry room. Didn't even dry my clothes and I had it on High.  After what took forever to do, I went downstairs and saw a few people still around and talked to them briefly before heading upstairs to rest myself. I was already feeling pretty sad about everything ending. I think when Bluemax left it just kind of made me realize the event was ending. So many people were leaving on Sunday and that just kind of pushed that feeling of being the last ones more to the point.

Monday would be there soon... sooner than I wanted...
