Poor Bossy is home while most bloggers are not
They’re off having fun, leaving Bossy with squat
Appearing on panels and winning Best Blog
While in a big heap, Bossy lies with her dog
Of course Bossy’s talking about Mom two-point-oh
A summit in Houston, but did Bossy go?
No—it cost too much money, at least that was her thinking
So she skipped all the learning and schmoozing and drinking
And then, back in Texas, it’s South By Southwest
Bossy wanted to go, but she thought it not best,
Because hotels and tech talk and booze not withstanding
Who could tolerate bands doing all those cute band things?
Not to mention how Bossy can’t buy an award
When it comes to the Bloggies she is largely ignored
But that is just fine — who needs recognition?
Who is Bossy if not the one lacking ambition?
But just like the rest of the Internet readers
Bossy saw photos of all the blog leaders
As they ate and were merry across Austin, all hot
With awards in their hands, dot dot frigging dot…
But this summer, Chicago, darned if Bossy will miss it
BlogHer-oh-nine, Bossy purchased her ticket
Right before it sold out, how could Bossy resist
She’ll be the tall one in back with a wine in each fist
Thank goodness you’re not bitter!
Bossy should start her own conference, right here in Philly.
Just so you know……
I think your blog ROCKS……
For what it’s worth…………………….
But then again, no one asked me my opinion on world peace or anything…………………….
But Bossy, dear Bossy,
Please do not dismay,
There’s the Virginia. Blog Fest,
For which you won’t pay.
All your adoring fans will be here,
even BFF Grandma J.
So think about driving,
to Virginia in July
You can drink double fisted,
And laugh til you cry..
We’d just love to have you,
That isn’t any lie.
OK, so I may not be going to BlogHer, but I am super excited that you’ll be in my hood! I’m going to stalk me some Bossy.
Can we hang out when you come to Chicago this summer?? My two basset hounds don’t quite equal one great dane, but they’re still lovers. And there’s WAY more cool stuff in the city than just the tourist-y spots…
Oh Bossy, youre the Boss indeed.
Come BlogHer 09 I shall have a great need.
Madness lives just two hours down the road
An easy jump .. for this envious toad.
Thats about as creative as I get ..
But be sure I’ll be stalking the they call Getz.
I need help. I know.
argh ..
the ONE they call Getz.
Oh Bossy….It’s 7:45 AM PST right now and I actually had a late night for ONCE (that did not involve kids) hanging with some old girlfriends, and I can not POSSIBLY start a rhyming comment right now although please believe me when I say my heart is in the right place. And I ADORE Dr. Seuss.
Your blog is so beyond exceptional, it can not possibly be labeled with these normal blog awards and such. You deserve your own category and in that category, you would always win.
So BlogHer?! I bought a ticket too (unlike you I have NO idea why I bought one but I did) and I’m glad you’ll be wearing that Cat in the Hat hat ’cause it will be easy to find you and say hello!!
Happy friggin’ FRIDAY!!
Excellent! I’ll see you at BlogHer once again, then.
It’s already sold out?!! I didn’t even get the notice yet.
you may have missed this one
but oh, there’ll be more
your just desserts will come
“iambossy” will roar!
I heart Dr. Bossy! (and Dr. Seuss, may he rest in peace)
Just think how much more you will have saved for BlogHer 09 – more wine for everyone!!
I feel like that all the time, Bossy. Maybe it will make you feel better that 1) I didn’t even know about all those conferences until people started blogging about how fantastic they’d been, 2) I’d like to go to BlogHer but can’t rationalise the spending, and 3) You have 100% more readers than me.
: )
I’m not giving up, though, and neither should BOSSY.
I am new to the blog world,
So I guess it’s not prudent,
To spend money for partying,
When I’m still just a student.
Maybe BlogHer in ’10 will be my cup of tea
If I can stop spending money on Starbucks for ME.
Very clever, however
do not forget, while Saturn loves Bossy
the rest of us get
jack shit.
Will you remember what I look like if I’m not crying? I’ll be the one holding two Coronas. See you there.
This is why I skip blog conferences, and instead, geek out at sci fi cons like Convergence in MN. Or various Ren Fests. Because they don’t let you wear costumes to blog cons. Which makes them that much more boring.
Bossy makes Dr. Suess proud.
screw blog awards. i would vote for you for frickn’ *president*, anyday!
oh bossy….you make a proud mama weep.
Better than currently with a whine in each post.
But we love you anyway.
Still and all, none of them did an amazing road trip where they met the little people–that makes you number one in my ratings system.
I live in the Chi, so I just bought the cocktail party ticket(s). Because, let’s face it – I’m just there to meet my blogging idols and drink.
I’ll be the redhead that sneaks up on you ninja style, glass of white wine in hand, and gushes about how much I respect you.
I look forward to seeing you in July!
Bossy don’t fret,
You’ll see reward yet.
Your “bossies” are loyal,
Like fish nibbling coral.
We love tales of poo,
of budget woes, too,
and cheer for barbie theatre
as only Bossy does do..kaloo!
Our fearless leader…
We surely do need her!
Awards? why consternation?
Bossy wins my admiration!
We’ll drink a toast then.
Would love to go to Shycargo. But, last time I was there, sadly, they drove me to the bus station and gave me a one way ticket to Mississippi. No going back.
Here’s hoping you find an excellent roommate…
sigh.
Oh, they’ll all know it’s you because you’ll be the one with the appendage that looks like me.
Fer chrissake.
Bossy’s talent is too great for mere Bloggies awards. Are they handing out raybans at the BlogHer conference for attendees to cope with the glare of your blog-power?? Now if only I could convince the organisers that they need to fly an Aussie in for the show…

BB
I was soo down to the wire getting my BlogHer ticket too. How about an award for being the last ones to sign up???
I will drink with you on a box, with a fox while eating lox and wearing sox.
Just so you know, the fact that the Boss can’t win anything makes me feel MUCH better about my own blog.
I voted for you! I read you every day, you are the best blog, so funny, so witty, so rhymey.
And when I get to Chicago (wait, do I ever really leave? Damn) I’m going to hug Bossy and try not to steal her hat.
Someone at the Bloggies was missing..it was our Bossy who wasnt ass kissing.. You dont need those awards, we know your the best..So there all the schlip-schlappin rest.
Bossy should spend at least one day
Practicing for Chi-town on Chesapeake Bay
So many bloggers who love you best
Will be at the 1st annual Virginia Blogfest
Grandma J will be driving all the way from Texas
In her Ford that she will pretend is a Lexus
For her and most, the cherry on the cake
Would be for Bossy, this Blogfest to make.
Amen
Bossy-
The mom-to-marketing thing or whatever looks scary lame, be glad you skipped it (-and I’m in Houston so I should know lame). Also! SXSW-bossy, NO! Way too much hype and waaaaay too many hipster douchbags. Its Austin squared to the eighth power, in a bad way. Come to Austin some other time-you’ll have a much mo’ better time, Enjoy the hell out of Chicago instead.
Bossy’s readers are also a talented and funny crew, are they not?
Bossy + Dr. Seuss = the perfect combination
Getting a hug from Bossy is in my top 5 things to do at BlogHer in July. I still dream about the hug I got from Bossy last year on the trip-around-the-world. Best Hugger Ever.
I’m sorry you didn’t go to SxSW, but what do I know. I just think it is fun to go to Austin and have fun. From what I hear it is fun and so cool. Hope you have a great time in Chicago.
I’ll be the one stalking the location looking to catch a glimpse of all the internet rockstars like Bossy.
Being from Chicago, I voted for you on the Bloggies MANY MANY times. It didn’t help. Meh. Fook-em.
We know you rock. F ’em if they can’t take a joke.
Oh Bossy
The loss will
Diminish in time.
But you’ll Blog Her
You ….
And we’ll sit here and whine.
Fan-fricking-tastic! I guess my decision was made for me about Blogher 09. I was going to go. Guess that’s what I get for procrastinating. Think there will be scalpers in front of the hotel? Dang, I’m bummed now. Well you will just have to have fun for all of those that can’t go!
P.S. I’m just going to start my own blog convention. And then I can do whatever I want, speak about whatever I want, won all the best awards and so on!
I left my decision till nearly the last minute too, almost talked myself out of going, but then I remembered Bossy’s advice from last year: Just go!
See you there!
I’m on the BlogHer ’09 Wait List. Fingers crossed…
Maybe this time I’ll be brave enough to introduce myself.
Im so not worthy, and that is no joke–
Plus–my dear bossinator
Im dead ass broke.
Bossy O Bossy…
I tried to think of a cute rhyme, and I couldn’t in the two minutes I allotted. & I’m sad about this. Also sad that I didn’t get a student ticket when I could. But my friend & I would *absolutely love* to meet you! (we’re in Chicagoland)…hopefully it will all work out
p.s. PLEASE do a barbie recap of the wonderful sally field movie “not w/ out my daughter”
Chicago waits for another day
In July I’ll be on Chesapeake Bay
‘Cause I won’t be at BlogHer Nine
I’ll be in Virginia swilling wine
BUT . . .
We would SO love a BlogHer cam
Thank you, thank you, Bossy I Am
Oh my, look at you-
how I LOVE Dr. Suess!
They call me a grown-up
but I love a good rhyme.
Your blogs-they amuse me
though I’m a little behind.
I’m just playing catch up
and thought you should know
you are so funny
that I told my friends so
Too much? Ha!
I just loved this…I am hoping for NYC in 2010
