baby clothes

I was going on some trip. I had just arrived in my car. It was kind of a beachy type place, but not hot and summery. Everyone was staying in some rental house. There were families there all unpacking and their kids were running around. I had arrived with just a wallet. I figured I could get what I needed in the town. There was one night where I had to where something niceish and I already knew a couple of stores to go to. A couple of the other women had to do this too so we all left together. I felt separate from these people. I knew we were all friends of some sort, but I was faking it. I went through the motions to appear like a "normal" person, but did not feel connected to these people. We were in the stores and a woman came out saying pretty much everything had sold out and the woman didn't have new inventory yet. I walked in anyway. She had just a few tops hanging and the rest was empty. I turned to leave because I knew of another store. Some of the group was there and shopping too. I used some of their lingo and their mannerisms and smiled and told them my plans to be friendly and then went off to the next place.

Then I was in my current boss's house. I was washing dishes. I was an employee for him in his home that week. He had a lady friend over and she had a baby. I was seeing that he or his lady friend had some clothes that she wanted to take back that were children's clothes. Some her child had grown out of, others were gifts. I was separating the clothes. There was one on a unique hanger. A little blue gingham button down shirt for a boy with shorts under. I took the shirt off and the shorts were held on by two "pins." They were either magnetic, but then as I pulled on them on the sides, it was as if the hanger had cork on either end and you could put a stick pin in to hold the sides of the pants up. I thought... if they throw this away, I will take it to my friend who has twins. Then there seemed to be a pile of clothes as if someone just brought in laundry and a pile of children to go with it. They were all in another room watching some cartoon as I finished dishes and laundry. A woman walked in, she was one of the mothers that was at the cabin. Now she was "above" me and knew I was a servant of sorts. I said how cute her daughter looked (just being nice) and that her outfit was cute. She nodded in a .."of course she looks cute, it cost a mint and she always looks cute and who are you to be commenting" sort of way (quite the complicated nod). I shrugged and sighed internally and went on with my business. She mentioned she heard that I had lost my wallet (at the beginning of the dream I brought my wallet, but it changed into that not only did I not pack, I lost my wallet as well). I said yeah... I think I put it down when I was looking at something, etc. She was making comments on how irresponsible that was. Then I saw she was sitting on the floor with a child's outfit hanging on the wall in front of her. She was doing needle work. It was a gift for someone and the stitches somehow had to do with what the father did for a living.

Then I was back near the stores. I was walking along and ran into a friend that I haven't seemed to have returned her calls. She was asking me how I was and what I was up to. I found a piece of chocolate in my purse that was crunchy (had some crunchy mint thing inside... then later turned into a pretzel with chocolate inside) and I was crunching on it I think just due to my nerves, not my hunger. I saw her looking at me and I gave it up to her. She took it and made some comment on that it was bitten on already. ...
