packing for a vacation

As i sit here at my computer putting of the task i hate the most, PACKING FOR A VACATION.
I am stuck with the decision should i put it off until the night before? Or just get it done? What do i pack? it will be very warm even hot where i am going, so should i pack all shorts and t's or some capris and blouses? well i am a shorts and t-shirt kind of gal but i have a book signing there so-----mom come pack for me! oh thats right i am going to Phoenix to see her. Mom just buy me new cloths when i get there. And how much to pack. This airlines only allows 50 lbs per suitcase and only one checked bag extras are $20-50 each. But you can hold up traffic getting on and off by having 2 carry ons. d ont make sence (i cant spell- published to recipe books but i still cant spell) to me. I cant even pack my deodorant, toothbrush or shampoo. Are they all in it with walmart? My suitcases are in the stairwell (hubby cant seem to get them all the way up) and when i open the stairs door the cat will run up stairs and wake me up in the middle of the night scratching at the door to get out from upstairs. I am going on vacation for 10 days you all have fun working. And remember no matter where you go there you are. Dont forget to enjoy life and good food. check out my webpage janiesvinaigrettesandmore.com.

publishing with tate publishing

I was a new author looking for a publisher. I first went to a large firm, took them 8 months to tell me no. I found Tate Publishing on the internet and it took them 2 weeks to say yes. Dr. Tate himself called me to welcome me to Tate Publishing. They worked with me on my authors participation investment. Before i knew it I was published. My husband and i drove to Mustang Ok. to visit Tate Publishing and man were we welcomed. I approved every step of the process and was never treated like i was an idiot, i should have at times. There sure is a lot to learn about publishing. When it was time to publishe book #2 they were realy thrilled i wanted to do a 2nd book. It will be out soon and i cant wait. Thank you Tate Publishing. Simply Vinaigrettes from Ancho Chili to White Wine is book #1. Janie's Simply Entree Salads for Two is the 2nd. They are available everywhere on line and in most book stores, and directly from Tate Publishing for $9.00.
