Enough About Bossy, What Can You Do To Help Bossy.

Bossy hasn’t had much time to read any blogs for the past five weeks because she’s been participating in a little social experiment she likes to call Operation Face To Face.

Because Bossy is so hopelessly out of touch, she has this Tuesday Challenge: tell Bossy in exactly ten words what’s been going on in your life.

Ready, set, go!

   You just need an editor, Saucygirl. Ahem:

   So crazy I had to take the dog’s Valium — twice.

   I even left room for embellishment. Hint: Half the “thats” in the world are unnecessary.
