Our realtor was here today with a photographer. Every room was stripped of all our personal belongings. Pictures, school notices, calendars. Cords were tucked away. The closets were jammed with ratty towels, toiletries, bills and homework. Toothbrushes and toothpaste did not grace the bathroom counters. Surprisingly, the Justin Bieber posters could stay.
Before we have an Open House, we can put some of the stuff back, but the closets and cupboards need to be immaculate. We've been told that we can jamb stuff into the dryer with abandon and no one will be the wiser...
A few weeks ago, Mom sent me a link to a guy working on getting all his worldly possessions down to 100 things. I was telling that to one of the girls this morning as we jammed a laundry basket full of make-up, perfume, cleansers, bags, brushes, hair products and hair appliances.
"He's a guy. That's easy."
So true. But why is that acceptable? Why do we women "need" all this stuff?
Another fascinating insight on this journey.
