I really like the paper mache rhino head I bought at a thrift store a few days ago. I told hubby that I wasn’t going to keep it. It was for resale only. Bla bla bla… It was an investment. That argument is becoming more and more worthless the more stuff I keep. Every time he sees something new in the house and asks about it, I just tell him I’m storing it there until it gets sold. I need help.
