Wall of Gum


By the way this is my first attempt at blogging so bear with me! In time I will improve my blogging skills. (With the help my FFF Super Blogger Bekki.) Check out her blog. Confessions of a Daughters closet. She is responsible for my daughter being in some kick ass duds and my wallet being empty. Oh well my daughter looks great thats all that matters. Who knew when I woke up this morning the random adventures that would take place. First mission was to find my keys. Hmmmm.... Where could they be? I figure they must be in my husbands pocket who is at work without a way for me to get a hold of him. Thanks to him we have saved 2000.00 dollars by not owning cell phones. (what a saint.) I'll expand more on that soon enough I am sure. Just when I hung up the phone with my lock out service Coen my 7 year old son comes running and screaming across the house "FOUND EM!" "Where were they?" I ask. "On my bed behind Cadin's towel." Using Cadin my oldest sons name in the mix so hopefully he will get blamed for the missing keys. Little did he know I was over it and just wanted to head out for a random day of fun. After a 1/2 hour of being on hold with the same locksmith company to cancel my order(they couldn't find me in the system of course) I was in full force and ready to go!! Off to Herfy's Burgers and Teriyaki. Not to eat Oh Heavens NO. That Place is dirty and food tastes like it is a week old. We are picking up our good friend Lisa. We head to Bellevue to get some gum at 7-11. $13.85 later we are ready to roll to the Wall of Gum. What is the wall of gum you ask? It is in an alley behind Pike Place Market in Seattle. Beware if you park in the garage and have to walk up the stairs in an eerie stair well, remember when you get to the top don't be fooled you are not locked in. Thanks to the nice gentleman that pointed out to the five of us you just need to push the door open not pull. Needless to say we laughed so hard we cried at ourselves. I have never been and wanted to see this disgusting concoction of chewed Hubba Bubba. We decided to meet up with Jesse and Riley to make our mark on the wall. I don't know how to describe this germ filled abstract piece of work. It spellbinds you but repels you all the same. Coen was so intrigued he even licked it before I could grab him by the collar. If he dies in a week we all will know why....know sense in an autopsy. After our adventure at the Wall of Gum we all decided to go to a restaurant called The Bamboo Garden next to Seattle Center and Key Arena. The Bamboo Garden is a vegan Chinese food restaurant with the best (what I call) donkey balls in the world. No they aren't actually donkey balls hence the word vegan. They are in many of their dishes. Like sweet and sour chicken, general tso's etc.... they are amazing. After lunch it was back to Bellevue to drop Lisa off and homeward bound to get ready for date night with Hubby Jason. Jason and I decided to do something new. We ordered tickets to that swingers club in Lynwood. Just kidding we decided to go to Laughs in Kirkland for dinner and a show. We saw comedians Ryan Hamilton and opening act Bryan something. Both very funny acts I even shook both of their hands. Very cool. Looking to my left and what do I see to my dismay it is Mack Strong formerly of the Seattle Seahawks! After the show I was lucky enough to shake his hand to. What a random day!
