List # 1

I'm marjorly into making lists.
Of course I forget all about them once I've made them and then they turn up a week later when I'm collecting rubbish for recycling and I go ... "aaah... thats what/who I was supposed to do/buy/eat/call/reply to/write to..."
On average I make two lists a day - and finish doing all the stuff I didn't write down on the list.

For example ... this is a list I find lying in front of me on the computer desk. I have obviously kept it here when I came to check my mail in the morning yesterday.
It reads:
1. Vacuum
2. Call Deepak
3. Return Amma's call
4. Ask Raji/ Anu-Ali about slow cooker
5. Cook dratted pumpkin which doesn't seem to get over
6. Start blog
7. Return library books

What I did do yesterday
1. 4 loads of laundry
2. Sewing
3. Called Airtel and waited for 20 mins listening to a pre-recorded message
4. Went shopping and found the skillet
5. Finished reading new Vikas Swarup book - Six suspects
6. Drove to Oak Park and back - didn't return books - accrued fines. :(
7. Cooked frozen suran - which wouldn't have gone bad anyway. Dratted pumpkin seems to be spawning more dratted pumpkin in the fridge.

So you see, what I really am, is a pathological list maker...  I really can't help myself... for making them, or forgetting about them.

But now that I have all you people (and yes I assume you're reading this) I'm going to make lists of things I want to accomplish this week ...

1. I found a cast iron skillet when I went to the store. It looked just like the skillet my great grand-mamma used to make dosas on. So I got it and I'm going to try making dosas on it - make it fully functional.
Its a process... I know... but I'm going to start.

2. Improvise on making a baked apple dessert - which is healthy-ish

3. Post part of my research on the benefits of spices

4. Make puran poli as part of Shalome's comfort food plan

Ok thats it. Anything more than this will be nothing short of divine intervention.

Wish me luck.
