PYHO: I Get Nervous

31 Oct By

It came on Tuesday night.  I felt a little grumpy.  Didn’t want to deal with people.  I wasn’t sure what was wrong until I thought a little about it.

Friday I get on a plane to Chicago for the weekend.  I am going to Bloggy Boot Camp.

And I am nervous.  And it gets under my skin and makes me uncomfortable.  So I get grumpy and withdraw.

When I went to Bloggy Boot Camp in Philadelphia in May, I was also nervous.  But I had a secret weapon.  My SIL Diane from One LoCo Mommy was with me so, in my mind, if I started to freak out I could simply clam up and she could do all the talking.  I would still be social but by proxy.  It was a genius plan.

I ended up being able to communicate fine on my own and walked away from the experience with new friends.

So why am I nervous now?

I guess because I don’t have that safety net even though I didn’t really need it before.  It’s been a very long time since I hopped on a plane to a far off place all by myself.

My head knows that I will be fine.  I am looking forward to the people I will meet there.

But I’m still nervous.

    You will be GREAT! Just be yourself…I feel like everyone gets nervous before these events, but this community is so supportive, so it will be fantastic, I just know it! :)

    You WILL be great! Take great notes and when in doubt, sip on a Moscato. :)

    P.S. We’ll think of you on Saturday when we do the Walk. :)

    I can’t imagine how nervous I would be about attending a blogger conference. Was it worth it?

    This takes me back to the few days before I went to Philly but look how much fun we had and how many awesome friends we made! Looks like you had a great time at the conference!
