The Comments Are Back, The Comments Are Back! A Giveaway!

As some of you may know because Bossy couldn’t stop complaining about it for three minutes in a row, Bossy’s blog has been caught in some sort of code purgatory ever since Bossy was recently forced to upgrade her blog’s platform:

After many days of torture, where torture equals Bossy gave up and took time off and that sleeping late thing is pretty darn great, Bossy’s team of beautiful and talented web designers came to Bossy’s rescue!

If you don’t yet know Bodacious Girl, check out her cute new cooking blog which she started with her cute new boyfriend. They cook all kinds of romantic things together, like Pork Larb. Aww.

And if you don’t yet know Urbanana, get your fanny over there. Unless you are one of those cold hearted types who don’t enjoy photos of sweet new newy newness.

Besides that, Bossy has many stories to share with her council from the last two weeks. Unfortunately Bossy can’t remember any of them.

Oh yeah, there was that fascinating post Bossy wanted to write about Target and its ineffectual Christmas Light inventory:

And there was that gripping post Bossy wanted to write about how her friend Martha recently announced she had returned to her natural hair color. Except when she said it, she looked like this:

Of course there was also the scintillating post in Bossy’s head about when Bossy went to a book signing event featuring Bossy’s close and personal friend Her:

But today Bossy is getting snowed in, and so she can’t get to these backlogged tales and more.

And Bossy can’t get to these stories because Bossy has been sitting here on her sofa looking out that window and drinking coffee for hours and hours and hours and Bossy is too caffeinated to concentrate.

Instead, to celebrate Bossy’s working comment section, Bossy’s friends at Seattle’s Best Coffee stepped forward with a giveaway! Who remembers Bossy’s friends at Seattle’s Best Coffee after Michael Jackson died?

This time Bossy’s friends at Seattle’s Best Coffee would like to give five Bossy readers a kit containing three of their seasonal favorites: Sleigh Bell Blend, Almond Roca, and Peppermint Mocha Trio. Here is a link to the descriptions of each, utilizing words such as balanced, smooth, rich, sweet, complex, and simple.

Got it? That’s five winners, three coffees. Just leave a comment below — a comment! — one per person please. And Bossy will employ her friend the Random Number Generator to select a winner at the end of the weekend.

Good luck, council! Bossy has missed your input, expertise, judgments, advice, and wit.

   My blog suffers from being commentless, too. Just not for the same reasons as Bossy’s.

   Great giveaway, great post. Thanks!

   I wondered what was up and missed Bossy’s posts as they are my bedtime reading (for enjoyment after tough days, not as a method to induce sleep). Wouldn’t mind more coffee! Keep warm and dry, I am in NJ grinding my teeth as I hate snow!

    Comments are back! Horrah! Huzzah! All other words ending in ah!

    1. Chumbawamba is singing in my brain. Thanks for that.
    2. Awesome. Have to love dedicated web designers. They are the best! (And I somehow have a visual of her programming while in labor. “No, no, that’s not the right code, it’s AAARRRGGGHHH!”
    3. Awwe. Cuteness. Thank god for menopause. Those pictures no longer have the power over me to make me want to make another one of those.
    4. PvsT LOLOLOL
    5. I prefer indigo and that’s my suggestion for Martha. It’s the best of both the blue and the purple worlds.
    6. Love PW. Love Bossy. You’re both gorgeous.
    7. This is one of the reasons I’m moving back East. (I know everything you’re about to say, but there’s no talking to me about it at the moment. Talk to me in January 2010.)
    8. I know. Same here with the caffeine.

    Glad the comments are back, Bossy.

    Dearest Bossy:
    I have had a crap, crappity, crap-crap weekend. And it’s only Saturday afternoon. Do you know what would make things a little better? Free coffee. Free coffee would temper my temper, lift my spirits and remind me of all that is good and beautiful in this world.
    And while we don’t have snow here in the deep South, we are pretty cold. And you know what would warm me up? Free coffee. You (and random number generator) know what to do.

     The deal is I am in my cold office with a hot cup of St. Louis Bread Co. coffee (partially decaf and mostly hazelnut), supposedly getting a bunch of work done so I can stay home the next couple of days and nurse my daughter, who is scheduled to get her wisdom teeth yanked tomorrow afternoon. I am getting nervous. She is calm.
     Take care, enjoy the snow, p.j.

     What IS with the lights this year??? Went to Target and Walmart and there was not a string of regular indoor tree lights to be found! Finally found some at the local rinky-dink drug store.

     Just wanted to vent. Don’t put me in the coffee giveaway. I hate coffee (ducking)!
