Bizarre....
May. 25th, 2007 12:52 pmGot some driving done today (including some aggressive driving) going to Auburn. Dad needed to return and exchange the pump to his newest toy, a portable spa, and to pick up more paint and some groceries. Once we were back in GV, Dad had me fill the van up with gas. Learning, woo! (Unfortunately, this new spa pump leaks worse than the original pump had, but that's beside the bizarreness of today.)
He had me take the back roads home, and after I had parked and we had gotten out of the car, we discovered a black trash bag on our doorstep. Peering inside, I thought that the bag was filled entirely with socks. Dad was pissed about it at first, saying 'we don't need this crap', but he had me dump the clothes out in the living room anyway, and we began searching through them.
There were actually a lot of rather nice t-shirts, shorts, socks, a hooded sweatshirt, and even boxers inside the black trash bag. Dad figured that maybe Debbie or Patti dropped the clothes off, because Kevin (Debbie's husband) has a very slight frame, and some of the clothes are pretty small. He also figured that Bonnie and Craig could have dropped the clothes off, because their kids are now grown and gone but many of the clothes are soccer-related (a la Cammy) and typical teenager attire. Very bizarre incident, but I am now wearing this neat camouflage t-shirt that matches my new pairs of shorts perfectly. I also snatched a pair of shorts from the bag that are SO DAMN COMFORTABLE it's insane. (They're also size 34, so they're too big for me to wear in public, really - sleep shorts!).
The first thing that passed through my mind, seeing the clothes on our doorstep, was that maybe whoever had dropped the clothes off thought we really needed the clothes. Mom used to get on my case about wearing holey shirts - "People will think you're poor" - but I wore them anyway because hey, comfort is my style.
Either way, free clothes? Heh.
ALSO, I watched the 1931 Frankenstein last night with Boris Karloff and Colin Clive. Awesome stuff; I love old movies. Brain-crack. (Colin Clive is also in Mad Love (1935) with Peter Lorre (<3!!!).) I've always liked crazy scientist characters and sympathetic monsters. I might watch it again tonight with Dad.
