My chapter mate just sent me your info the other night. So glad you found your way over here. And you know Tawny?! Lucky you. She totally gave me this list/spreadsheet idea. Happy to say I finished my spreadsheet last night and it looks so pretty. All kinds of colors. LOL! Look for me selling raffle tickets at the signing. Santa - Tell those thugs to let you on the ship. We are a must! LOL! You're bringing sandals? Did you miss the part about it being cooler in San Fran and you know it's going to be cold inside that hotel. I've got tennis shoes and my heels for the ceremony and that's it. Matching smatching... Kathy - Now THAT is a comprehensive list blog. I have something similar only it's hand written on a tiny little notepad. And I like the idea of the back pack. My daughter has a ton of them. If I can fit my laptop into one of her plain ones, I'm going to use that instead of my laptop bag. Thank Smarty Pants for me! I'm using the USPS flat rate box to mail and you better find me!

Welcome to the list making club. LOL. The sad part is, I haven't begun to make my lists yet. And I usually do a spreadsheet of the classes offered so I know where I want to go when and can make a better choice, spur of the moment. the blog at the Writing Playground on July 18th, had a great idea for list making. www.writingplayground.com. Check it out. Also, make sure to sign up online for a FedEx account before you go. That way you can ship your box of books easily from the hotel counter. Sure would love to meet you and Santa! I'll look for you at the raffle table during the Literacy Signing. :-) Hey Terrio! Welcome to the list making club. LOL. The sad part is, I haven’t begun to make my lists yet.

Dang deli thugs! I make lists all the time - not that I follow them or anything but they make me feel good. There's nothing like x-ing something out! I have not made nearly as many lists as I should be for National. I keep saying yes to gatherings and have no idea which workshops I'll be going to. I guess I should get on that especially since I'll be blogging about National from there. I mean what will I talk about? *chirping* See what I mean? I do have my clothes figured out. They're paired up in my closet. I'll be bringing three pairs of shoes. Dress shoes for RITAs. They match my outfit and purse. Comfortable black pumps which go with everything including the bag they hand out and my sandals which seem to be the only shoes that are comfortable these days. I'd bring one more pair, Terri because every shoe should match every outfit. Grrrr…I can never seem to access this site from work. Dang deli thugs!

I now see I'm just a beginner in the list department. (Bowing down to Ms. Tawny) LOL I'll have one suitcase for shoes, makeup, and jewelry, and one suitcase for everything else. I'll have plenty of shoes, but still won't hold a candle to Ms. Tawny there either. :) I thought I was such a listmaker until I met Tawny at our chapter meeting and was introduced to her color-coded charts for National.

But, that is a whole year away & I'm just going to be starting a new job. Hopefully next week. The second interview went well. Keep your fingers crossed. So, I have no idea if I'm going to get any vacation by then. I’d love to do RWA. But, that is a whole year away & I’m just going to be starting a new job. Hopefully next week.

I almost missed you there. If I ever make it to Disney, I'm taking you with me. Let them make fun, they won't be laughing when you withhold information and they're stuck not knowing anything. LOL! But to be honest, I'm not sure this much prep would go into any other trip I'd ever take. Except maybe overseas. Irish! I almost missed you there. If I ever make it to Disney, I’m taking you with me.

He got a completely cool t-shirt with Grumpy on it - they have a lot of similarities ; ). I'm sorry you won't be in Jersey. I will probably make the trip again. Have a safe flight and a great time!

I'm not going to NJ this year. I went last year so this year I'm heading to Atlanta for Moonlight & Magnolias. But if it helps, Nationals are two weeks earlier next year. Just sayin'. :) Dang!
