More Inconvenience?

I don't think I have mentioned this before, but the house I currently live in and rented throughout law school is being sold by the owners who live out of state.  Because I didn't want to have to move prior to taking the bar, I decided to remain a month-to-month tenant (even though I really can't afford this place), until after the bar, or the house is in contract.  That means two things: (1) that people come through looking at my house all the time and (2) that the interior of my house, as it is currently furnished, is visible on both zillow.com and realtor.com.  Both of these things make my life slightly more weird and inconvenient than it is normally (and my life is generallly weird and inconvenient).   Also, I am a fairly neat person, but it makes me really self-conscious about my cleanliness when strangers are coming through and judging my house. 

Anyway, there was another showing of my house this evening, so my daughter and I had to vacate the premises and keep ourselves occupied for an hour.  Before we left the house I realized our pantry was lacking a lot of ingredients, we decided to go down to Kroger.  However, once there, I realized that my wallet was also lacking a lot of ingredients (money).  So, I purchased 3 10/$10 items (Kroger potato chips, Kroger english muffins and Kroger sandwich bread), and paid with [cringe] change.  Yes, with change.  At least it wasn't in pennies.

I put together some really cheap sandwiches with some other ingrdients I had on hand and we had what my daughter likes to refer to as a "ladybug picnic" at the park.  So it didn't turn out that badly after all.

Sidenote:  In anticipation of today's house showing, I mowed my lawn for the first time!  Since I have lived here, I have had a service do it, but now that I realize how dire my financial situation is, I decided to do it myself (since my daughter's father is lending me a mower, it saves me $120/month).   I have come to the realization that I am not good at mowing.  However, I was made to feel quite a bit better when I told a friend about my problems mowing and he asked "well, is the grass shorter?" To which I answered in the affirmative.  His response: "then you are just fine at mowing."  Thanks MJ :)
