Uninvited guest

This morning, I woke up slowly... it's Saturday and there was no rush. I warmed up some pancakes I made and froze a few days ago, and I went out to the driveway in my PJs to get the newspaper. So, I was sitting in my room, talking on the phone and doing stuff online. As soon as I hung up, I looked over my shoulder and there was a guy standing there, practically in my bedroom. A guy I have never seen before and had no clue as to who he was. My first thought was that maybe he was a friend of my roommate, who was in her room about 10 feet away, but probably not. I also thought maybe he was looking for our landlord, whose residence is attached to ours. Extremely confused, i asked if I could help him. He looked a little confused too, and said he was looking for the front door, and that we was with Masterpiece Kitchens. He definitely didn't look like he was on business, though, cause he was wearing a shorts and a t-shirt, and a red Nationals baseball cap on backwards. I told him he definitely had not found the front door, and quickly escorted him out, pointing toward our landlord's front door.

Weird.

A few minutes later I opened our door to see him knocking on our landlord's side door - still not the front. I asked him if he had an appointment with them (I was pretty sure they weren't home) and he said no.

Stranger still.

So, Diana and I were a little weirded out by the whole thing so we called the police. They were here in about 2 minutes and asked us for info. Then the guy had us get in the police car, and drove us all around the area looking for him. The two coolest parts are when he asked us to walk through the farmer's market looking for him (ha! I felt like I was on NYPD blue or something) and then when we drove in the cop car down the bike path!!! lol Hilarious.

So, that's pretty much it. We never found him. I wasn't scared, because he didn't seem aggressive, and he didn't seem high (but maybe he was). It was just weird. My best guess is that he was casing the place for what kind of stuff we have here. I don't get it.

Very strange beginning to the day!! Now on to packing, laundry, and 10 million other things that should be done by tonight. Yeah right.
