2010: The Un-New Year's Resolution

Last year I had lofty expectations for New Year’s Resolutions.  It seems that as each year passes with breakneck speed, I’m contemplating what I don’t like about myself and making a resolution to change, change, change.

Paula Perfect and Chocolate Cake

Nerves

I wonder if everyone goes through these feelings before they unveil the cloke of their website.

I’m a little nervous about Blog World Expo 2009.  What if these people don’t like me?  What if I can’t answer their questions?  What if someone asks me questions I don’t want to answer?  What if…
