Since I'm obsessive about lists, I'm doing an online list of 'things to do' before my in laws arrive tonite.
- Kitchen cleaned? - Check
- Cleaned for the nth time? - Check
- Pantry cleaned? - Check
- Carpet vacuumed for the 5th time? - Check
- Beds made? - check
- New bed spread? - Check
- All traces of eggs removed? - Check
- Finish eating the bread made with eggs? - Check
- The non existent patio clean? - Check
- Laundry done? - Check
- Stuff that makes sure they won't have grandchildren for sometime hidden? - Check
- Easily available hair clips and bands so that I don't have to let my hair loose? - Check
- Bindis in abundance strewn around to show I 'do' use them? - Check
- Look for stuff to wear around the neck and the Diamond earrings for the ear? - Check
-Engagement ring on the finger, and the right finger at that? - Check
- Toe rings on toes - tie with thread to make it tight since my toes have lost weight pushing things off the couch/bed? - Check
- A batch of Idli maavu(batter) in the fridge to prove that I make healthy Desi breakfasts everyday - FAIL - the Idli maavu created red Idlis ( I dunno what to do!)

- Buy more flowers and random stuff to make the house look like home after 1.5 years of moving in? - Check
- Light the lamp? - Check
- Bangle on one hand - the thinnest one, preferably? - Check
- A watch on the other hand ( so that there is no need for a second bangle, and that I seem to be aware of time and age to be more responsible and more importantly to get up earlier than 10 AM for the next one month)? - Check
*am doing this as I sit on the couch ordering AB around for the above things to get done. So much tension over nothing. sigh.*
Yes. The in-laws will be here in precisely 6 hours. And I cannot sit on the couch anymore and offer precious advice and counselling to all your problems and cannot comment on your love lives for one month. So wonly one request: Don't have fun without me ;)
