I am so worried about this. I am an extro/introvert and I don't know what side of the vert I will wake up on from day to day. So I'm totally worried about basically meeting no one and just hanging out in a corner on my iPhone with a newborn. I also know that this conference is there for a reason for me... and so I'm taking a scary plunge.

I have also been blogging for the past five years and while I've been refreshed with new perspective and direction every so often, I think it's time to seek it from the outside, and I'm so excited to go to Influence for that reason. A lot of the people I know who are going aren't these super big bloggers - and if they are, they're down-to-earth, and that's why I love them so much! <br /><br />I also use my sunglasses all the time. Sometimes I take them off in the middle of driving and am like, "I don't need these on. I feel ridiculous." But then usually I still want them on anyway.Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05993362069091791525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7857022812381518619.post-49020658782338278932012-09-05T23:55:18.958-04:002012-09-05T23:55:18.958-04:00ooooh pretend bathroom break.
