   Ms. Bossy, how I have missed you!!!

   I am just catching up on all your posts. I love the bunched up towels – I suffer a similar fate. Also, thanks so kindly for the prize from Bossy’s basement. I will let you know who I re-gift those to. : )

   And I am ALL OVER the BARk book – I can’t believe you aren’t giving away autographed copies, considering your world famous status…

    Gee Dag Bossy! If you don’t slow yer cute little butt down on all this publishing and printing and making of famousness I will NEVER catch up.

    I hope that story is about Stella. Since the dream I have begun secretly longing for a dog as big as a horse.

    Shh…don’t tell the cats.

    Bwahahahaha! I’m sorry. I’m laughing AT the previous poster. Why oh why do we have to be ugly “No fan”? Did your momma not teach you the cardinal rule we all learned from that lovely skunk in Bambi?

    If you can’t say something nice…

    Exactly.

    Published! You’re published!!!!!! Wooohoooo!!!

    Looks like No Fan forgot to take his One a Day Plus Irony vitamin. That’s okay, he can get his full day’s supply when he gets beaten with a bag of oranges.

    Congrats on the book, that is terrific!

    Uh – just read that crappy comment. Here’s a question….WHY CAN’T YOU GO READ ANOTHER BLOG, THEN AND JUST KEEP YOUR MEAN COMMENTS TO YOURSELF?

    Jen M doesn’t like it when people are mean. Especially to one of Jen M’s favorite bloggers.

    Okay, this is regarding your post on bargain basement and the halloween costume ideas… that’s no fair, you stole one of mine!! I totally went as gum on the bottom of a shoe when I was 14. Only I hot glued an old sneaker to a headband. I recommend using a LIGHT WEIGHT sneaker, as it gave me a neck ache!!

    DG can say DG knew Bossy (met Bossy once or twice) back when! Bossy is super cool.

    Oh and Not a fan? Um. Haven’t you ever seen Silence of the Lambs? It puts the lotion on or else it gets the hose again? Dude. Referring to yourself in the third person is all the rage. In fact, it’s the new black. All the cool kids are doing it. OH YEAH! YOU AREN’T COOL! Oops. Go get an education. HAHAHAHAHA!!!!

    I was already planning to buy the book; then I read here that you had contributed to it. That made me fly out the door and actually purchase it IN PERSON with NO DISCOUNT…I read it; I loved it and, already, I’m reading it again. You, Merril and Kinky wrote my favourite essays.
    Hope your sweet daughter is doing well…Stella, too!
