Clint’s Santa garbage bag adventure
Apparently Clint started his new job at just the right time because yesterday he experienced some sort of a warehouse sale where for $15 you are given a garbage bag and allowed to fill it with whatever you deem worthwhile amongst the items laid out on a sea of fold out tables. I was curious throughout the day about what he got, but the only opportunity we had to talk he just said he couldn’t remember. When he got home last night he had me come out to the car to help him unload- it was like being a kid at Christmas. In what seemed like an unending stream he pulled the items one by one out of the back of the jeep, qualifying most them with “I have no idea why I got this” and even some with “I don’t even know what this is.” The more he pulled out the harder we laughed. I can’t explain why it was funny- mostly the idea of Clint running around with a garbage bag just putting things in to get his $15 dollars worth. And I will say- he successfully accomplished his goal.
Here are the items I can recall: a 10 pack of bubble mailers, a paint brush, two scrapers, an automatic paint roller, a glass vase, a glass container of some sort, a small metal tin with a lid, two very random books, a Ralph Lauren pillow, a really really soft knee length robe that is so bright pink I’m pretty sure you could see it from space (and if you hold it up to your ear I think it hums a little), a wonderfully soft, huge baby blue blanket which has sample written in the corner in what looks like permanent marker, two different sets of seat covers for the jeep, something brown with a zipper that we have no idea what it is (he got because it’s soft (looks like maybe an oddly shaped duvet?)), a lava lamp, baseball and basketball shaped magnets, a tool belt, several drawer pulls that do not match, some curtain tiebacks, a perfume set, a few different types of toys, a bouncy ball, a picture frame and a few more random things that I just can’t remember. I think I’m save the condition of our garage for another day but sufficed to say- we are now one step closer to being able to run up a thrift store out of our garage.
