that's what happened this weekend. my sister from another mister,amanda(or bee elle,as she will be referred to from here on...)got invited to some tupperware convention in lynnwood.(oh wait,according to the head tupperware mistress it wasn't a convention,because conventions involve suits. this was a tupperware PARTY!!).
that was an interesting experience just in itself. when they started giving away FREE,RARE,NEVER BEFORE SEEN tupperware i can only explain it as like an episode of oprahs favorite things. you know,the one where she gives away ridiculously expensive items that only the rich and famous can afford to buy and use. there is usually some amount of screaming,gasping,fainting,cheering,and not to mention,crying(out of peer joy). yep. just like that.for two hours. it was an all around ok experience. i did get 3 pieces of tupperware for a dollar! please,control your jealousy.
since seattle is on the way back home,we decided to make a pit stop and spend some time in the emerald city. we were STARVING and i had a craving for a dirty martini(ok,so when DON'T i have a craving for a dirty martini?)so we decided to eat at Von's, a place that several people,knowing i LOVE a good martini,have recommended to me. needless to say,it was pretty good! they have this cool wheel thing that they spin every half hour to pick what the special will be for that half hour. but the best part was...my dirty martinis were only $3.50!! That totally blew my mind because usually they're $6-8. annnd they were pretty damn good,if i do say so myself.
our official first stop...breakfast of champions:
our super cool, high tech tupperware nametags:
the wheel that got spun that picked the specials!
the special while we were there...the melontini
a sign that was next to us...only 323 days left til christmas! can't wait!!!!
mmmm chicken strips
my friends are weird and like to take pictures sitting on the counter in the bathrooms of restaurants.
i have recently acquired a flip video camera, so most likely you will be seeing a lot more video from me. yea?? here's me and bee elle chatting at von's(warning:there is some mild language. sorry grandma(s)):
!!if anyone has a capable computer,a video editing program,and some time, i have a few clips from this adventure that i would like to combine into one kick ass video. if i could PLEASE use you and your computer that would be amazing. i'll give you a hug!(i'm a GREAT hugger,i swear).email/text/fb moi!!
next stop...pikes place market!
apparently there's a cheese making factory right outside of the market. i had no idea!
cheese making!
they gave out free curds which were pretty good! it was fun how it squeaked in your teeth. according to bee elle this is the same stuff they give away at the tillamook factory and call it "squeaky cheese".
the famous original starbucks!(sarah,you've BEEN here!!)
one of my favorite things about pikes place is the infamous fish throwing dudes. for YEARS there's been this one fish throwing dude that i've found particularly adorable...
this one!(no idea what his actual name is...for now he's just "adorable fish throwing dude")
i allowed bee elle to take a picture with him too(you're welcome)
while walking back to pacific place to leave we saw this pretty cool street magician(does anyone know how he did this?? i can't figure it out!)
that's about all that happened...once i (hopefully!) get my clip video made i'll show you all the other super cool stuff we did! like contribute to the infamous gum wall,sponsor a child,and discovering the hard rock cafe...among other things.
today is super bowl sunday,i'm headed to my coworker katies house to have fun,laugh,cheer, and eat! go colts!!....or saints!!

You were so close to our house, woman! It looks like you had a good time. We love living out here! Seattle is where it's at! There's the best cheesecake place in Pike Place; I could eat 20 in one sitting! Next time, you must go there! :)
