Setting A New World Standard.

In no particular order except the order in which things actually occurred:

1. Bossy changed her blog’s tag line to Setting a new world standard, and when Bossy says she changed her blog’s tag line, she means beautiful her and beautiful her, otherwise known as Bossy’s talented design team, did it.

   Bossy changed her blog’s tag line because: some of you may remember this post from last fall about Bossy’s friend Andy, and how he told Bossy she needed a tag line that would create total synergy between her blog’s name and the blog’s content:

   

2. Bossy threw a big party on Saturday night.
3. The party turned into a jam session around a bonfire in Bossy’s backyard.

   

4. Bossy woke up on Sunday at 5:30 a.m. Oh wait, that wasn’t waking up, that was going to bed.
5. In order to push a reset button on her bad habits, Bossy is once again taking the next five days to eliminate all sugar and alcohol and salt and dairy and white flour and caffeine and laughter and fun and sanity. Unlike last time when Bossy’s mom moved in with Bossy so they could encourage each other prop each other up, this time Bossy’s friend Martha is joining Bossy, although Martha isn’t moving in, but instead will be spending large chunks of every day with Bossy watching distracting DVDs featuring chocolate and booze Ricky Gervais, and can you tell Bossy’s tanking blood sugar is commensurate with each comma?

Should be an interesting week. Don’t miss!

   I’m doing the sugar no white flour for the next week too–alone–but not, because I will be following bossy!! No motivation, and hoping bossy will quit in the next hour so I can too!!

   I would like to eliminate, but I’m not sure that I would survive it. Good luck, Bossy!

   Are you doing this for health reasons or for punishment for having fun? Either way, good luck!

   If I eliminated those things, I would have nothing left to live for. Cheers for having a way better life than I do!!!

   Do you read Dr Oz ? He says food cleanses are all in your “head” that they don’t really have any biological benefits. May want to spare yourself the misery…

    In order to support your detox efforts, I will drink enough booze and eat enough chocolate for the both of us! You’re welcome.

    It may be cleanse time for me and hubby too. We have to do them together because neither of us is strong enough to do it alone! Good luck!

    Does Bossy play an instrument herself? I am the mother of a musically-talented brood but sadly have no talent myself. Your party sounds like so much fun, and it was a lovely evening!

    The only time I did this was when I was pregnant. And then it was only for the sake of my developing fetus. Since THAT isn’t happening again, I see no need to torture myself that way again. But good luck to you.

    We’re pulling for you, Bossy! You can do it!

    Bossy has a reset button? All my bad habits are on preset.

    (…where bad habits equals wine and chocolate, and where wine and chocolate equals life force.)

    that looks like sooooo much fun, I wish I could have been there too. My family and I did the same thing sat. evening, we roasted marshmallows and listened to the pens get there butts kicked by the redwings. But we didn’t have the nice music you had, wish we would have after that nasty hockey game.

    Good luck, Miss Bossy. I gave up corn products for eight — no, NINE hours in January. It was totally worth it.

    Good Luck Bossy m’dear. You are going where some have gone before….and stayed sane. Except for me. Because I’m a wimp like that. I mean about the “going there” part…because if I did, “go there” that would mean breaking up with white bread and I can’t do that to my soft squishy lover. I don’t think he’d ever recover. And there is NOTHING sadder than depressed white bread. The tears make it go all soggy. ‘Tis a real shame!
