When I go to the grocery store I always make a list but then when I get to the store I never pull it out. I usually do very well at remembering what I wanted but I of course go home and curse myself for forgetting one or two things.
So when I came to India I had a list of 5 things
1) family portraits. A cousin had posted hers and they were so lovely. I thought it would be a great idea to get some made as I know it be cheaper.
2) a stamp with our address on it. Not our name, but just the address. I figured this would save my hand at Christmas time. And we could just pass it along with the house when we move.
3) small dessert forks. No explanation needed.
4) passport photos, a whole stack of them. After the adoption and PIO and passports I have almost gone broke at $12.95 for 2.
5) jewelry fixed. We have an array of chains that have broken and they sit useless in a box.
So what did I remember and what did I forget on this next to the last day in India?
1) Never happened. Didn't even come close. I got a horrible haircut for G and kept waiting for it to grow out and then I lost the motivation.
2) mmm, might be in the works. It depends on Indian Standard Time.
3) YES, at home in a suitcase!
4) We had one set made by the only background that was offered was red and blue- no go for any official US business. Plus I looked a bit angry.
5) still broken. Still in the box. I considered trying to go tomorrow but instead I just repacked it in my suitcase.
Guess that means we have to come back.
