Bossy has been devoting all of her spare time to the final details surrounding her Excellent Road Trip. And by all of her spare time she means the hours between 3 a.m. and 6 a.m.:
So far this is what she’s come up with: she is going to drive around and meet a bunch of people and stay on a few sofas. It will cost one million dollars. The end:
Bossy has been studying her busy family calendar and she finally selected the perfect travel dates that coincide with the best chance for decent regional weather as she crosses the country:
In addition she’s been negotiating with various Corporate Sponsors, and she has some very exciting announcements to make regarding her vehicle:
However Bossy’s biggest problem is still the cost of fuel:
There are other costs too, such as renting a laptop, because:
However, Bossy Is As Near As A Three-Dollar Bill. This means if you donate only three dollars Bossy can reach her goal. Just press the below link for Bossy’s Donation Jar. It’s easy like Paypal. In fact it is Paypal:
Bossy loves you.

February 13, 2008 at 11:18 amA car sponsorship! Way cool! Bet you could get fuel company sponsorship, too. And laptop. And food. And shoes. Maybe clothes. Haircut? Oh, but wait – you might not want to pimp yourself out to that degree. You’d have to behave like the companies wanted you to – and nobody needs that kinda pressure.
darla says
February 13, 2008 at 11:20 amIf you’re coming to Texas in April… you should be safe from hurricanes! Hurricane season is from June to November around here. April should be beautiful weather in Texas. Enjoy!
Amy says
February 13, 2008 at 11:24 amI ponied up my $3, but I want a refund if you don’t grace my couch with your presence. 🙂
Nancy says
February 13, 2008 at 11:28 amI’m sending some gas money, but with hopes that you will have some “Brit-Bossy” photos of you coming out of gas station bathrooms in flip flops (I’d NEVER ask you to go barefoot like Brit) …. and drinking a slurpee!
Nilsa S. says
February 13, 2008 at 11:33 amI think I just donated my whole paycheck. But, it should cover you. For at least 20 miles. Hope this means Chicago is on your triptik!
magpie says
February 13, 2008 at 11:35 amI just bought you a gallon of gas. So, when are you coming to New York. Oh wait, Philly to New York? Probably takes more than a gallon.
Franca Bollo says
February 13, 2008 at 11:39 amI put my $3 in. You’re welcome to come poop in San Francisco.
Ree says
February 13, 2008 at 11:39 am*Another* $3? Okay. On its way.
dlyn says
February 13, 2008 at 11:41 amI can’t believe that gas companies aren’t pushing and shoving to sponsor you. I guess their Moms must’ve taught them good manners. For real weather adventures, you need to come up to Upstate NY in March – talk about a crapshoot!
MinivanBohemian says
February 13, 2008 at 11:45 amIf Bossy could get sponsorship from a HYBRID car, she might not need that extra 3 bucks…Why hasn’t Steve Jobs come out with the i-car yet?
Catherine says
February 13, 2008 at 11:46 amYou won’t need to stay on my couch – you can sleep in girl child’s room on her HELLO KITTY sheets. Money coming your way girlie.
biddy says
February 13, 2008 at 11:49 amreason number 4398573457 bossy should come see biddy: there are no hurricanes in west texas. and we haven’t had a tornado touch down in 12 years!
Hotdog says
February 13, 2008 at 11:51 amBossy is to poop on the floor with the dog hair.
Laura says
February 13, 2008 at 11:58 amBossy, I don’t have PayPal but I would like to donate to the cause. I will email you to remind you to send me your address (if that’s ok with you) so I can send my donation.
Raz says
February 13, 2008 at 12:02 pmI feel like that entry had some kind of subversive message. I just can’t work out what it was 🙂
Sister Honey Bunch says
February 13, 2008 at 12:03 pmBOSSY! I’ll donate $3.50 to get you to Traverse City MI!
Sister Honey Bunch says
February 13, 2008 at 12:05 pmUmm, Bossy? My husband is a manager at a FABULOUS resort http://www.gtresort.com You’ll get a restful night’s sleep on 600 count sheets. For free. Oh, yes you will.
andrea says
February 13, 2008 at 12:35 pmI donated my 3 dollars! And you can poop in my toilet too…you just have to hold the handle down…and then make sure the water isn’t still running…and have a 17 year old cat sit on the sink next to you and stare while you do your business…sounds inviting, right?
Alice says
February 13, 2008 at 12:37 pmdonated! i’m moving into a new place in march that has TWO bathrooms. so you can poop in total privacy there!
Foolery says
February 13, 2008 at 12:43 pmDoes Bossy sleep in a cat suit? Meee-OW!
Off to pay the wizard . . .
kristin says
February 13, 2008 at 12:49 pmmy $3 was sent weeks ago… and you can poop in the guest bathroom.
In the Trenches of Mommyhood says
February 13, 2008 at 12:53 pmE-mail me with your info and I’ll send you some cash money to get yourself to Boston!
And trust me, I’m used to poop here in the Trenches. (Although I betcha Bossy’s smells like roses.)
Avitable says
February 13, 2008 at 12:56 pmI just want to know if you’re going to make it down here. Because I need to buy some underwear without holes in it if so.
Miss Britt says
February 13, 2008 at 12:56 pmDid you seriously get a car sponsor?
OMG hating you right now.
(PS, please come sleep on my IKEA furniture that I bought just special for you.)
we_be_toys says
February 13, 2008 at 1:06 pmWhere has the time gone? I was meaning to send you a big check, but stupid things like groceries and dentist bills keep getting in the way.
I just sent you 15.00, which isn’t nearly enough, I know, but I WILL be sure to give Bossy the good bed and pack your cooler for you before you set out again. Any cooler staples/goodies preferences?
Grandma J says
February 13, 2008 at 1:09 pmI already donated because I want to make sure Bossy makes it out to CA before “the BIG ONE”…..that would be earthquake and not Bossy’s poop.
AND, when you cruise the Pacific Coast and romping in the surf, remember one thing…the ocean is not Bossy’s toilet.
Around The Funny Farm says
February 13, 2008 at 1:18 pmI just found you and I am completely cracking up with laughter.
My sides hurt.
I need to remember to b-r-e-a-t-h…
Thanks!
Beth
jess says
February 13, 2008 at 1:26 pmBossy, you can sleep in my bed and I’ll take the couch. My bed does not have cat hair under it but not because there’s not a fair amount of cat hair floating around here, just because I threw out the frame in a fit of frustration and there is no “under” to my bed anymore.
If it will make you feel more at home I can try to lift the mattress & box spring up and shove some cat hair underneath.
I have sent a small donation because I am poor but when my ship comes in I will send it to pick you up so you can take an Excellent Cruise Trip and won’t have to worry about gas.
David says
February 13, 2008 at 1:35 pmI went crazy and gave you $5.
If you visit me on April 3 you can come as my guest to the opening night of our production of Antony & Cleopatra starring this guy:
http://www.marton-csokas.net/
Kellyology says
February 13, 2008 at 1:43 pmIf I can spend $3 bucks at the re-sale shop for a t-shirt, I can send $3 to you. After all, you and your road trip are far more entertaining!
mjohnson says
February 13, 2008 at 1:57 pmI love you too. But how do I KNOW you love me, I mean really KNOW!
Look me in the eyes and say it again.
meleah rebeccah says
February 13, 2008 at 2:39 pmLoving the car sponsorship! Bossy Rules. I am off to chip in / donate $$ for gas. (and hair products)… 🙂
Momo Fali says
February 13, 2008 at 2:40 pmI already sent my money, but in addition I would like to offer to pay for Bossy to get some highlights while she’s in town.
Peg says
February 13, 2008 at 2:41 pmI’m in three times…once for me, once for Graduation Barbie and once for Stella. Now git on that road!
Noelle says
February 13, 2008 at 2:46 pmYeay, I just sent you a gallon’s worth of gas because you asked. Please ask me to eat a cupcake now. I really want a cupcake.
Karen says
February 13, 2008 at 2:46 pmI love you too!
dgm says
February 13, 2008 at 3:25 pmI’ll pony up some cash, perhaps maybe even $4. I am excited for your April swing through California. You will be pleased to learn that earthquake season is in the fall. Be sure to drive through the desert on your way to the coast–the blooms this year will rock, what with all the rain we’ve been having.
Jonah Lisa says
February 13, 2008 at 4:07 pmBossy should increase budget by $399 and buy and iPhone instead of renting a laptop. From the iPhone she can email & write blog posts and can even take pictures with the iPhone and post them to her blog with the flick of a finger. Perhaps people could send $4 to help defray that cost and hook bossy up with the cooest new on-the-go gadget?
sue says
February 13, 2008 at 4:15 pmBossy, I don’t do paypal, but if you email an address, I’ll send you a gas card. Or I can give you one when you come to visit me or invite me when you visit one of your chosen ones in my area. And… I highly recommend that you take Sister Honeybunch up on her offer, because that is a great area! Although I think S.H. should admit that in late March it will still be a little – wintry – there.
Kristin says
February 13, 2008 at 4:18 pmI know you already have your route planned to the very last detail, but if you’re in Oklahoma City, could you swing by and show me how to use Photoshop? I’ll let you use my laptop for blogging while you’re here.
heart shaped hedges says
February 13, 2008 at 5:31 pmBossy, You can poop at my house! You’ll just have to “hold it” til you get to California. And, sorry to burst anyone’s bubble, but we dont have an earthquake “season” except “all year”.
Im hoping that your complete denial of the road trip, on my blog, was not a secret message.
Kelley says
February 13, 2008 at 5:36 pmNow if you were coming to visit ME I would donate, and straighten your hair with my fabulous straightening irons (that no one, on the pain of death by bleeding hemorrhoids is allowed to touch) and even throw some food your way. But noooooooo, Bossy won’t come to visit me.
Sheesh woman, it is not THAT big a swim to Australia…
Paula says
February 13, 2008 at 5:51 pmBossy poops?
Paula says
February 13, 2008 at 5:52 pmBossy poops?
Chicky says
February 13, 2008 at 6:06 pmWe’re all about bodily functions around here. Just don’t come to Mass around the last week of May or you’ll be getting more bodily fluids than you bargained for.
Chicky says
February 13, 2008 at 6:06 pmFer chrissake.
patty says
February 13, 2008 at 6:09 pmbossy is loved and we can’t wait for you get going! oh and we’re all jealous that we didn’t think of this first!
Haley says
February 13, 2008 at 6:42 pmI sent more than $3….like 11 more. Because I believe in your cause…and gas is obnoxious! 🙂 Can’t wait for you to visit!!!
Haley
heels says
February 13, 2008 at 6:56 pmI have 2 potties and a futon. A nice, oak one. Not oak potty- oak futon. You can choose to sleep on any of the above (though I recommend the futon), but I am less flexible about the poop. Sorry to be such a hard ass.
Surcie says
February 13, 2008 at 7:40 pmYou must be composing blog posts between 3-6 am. I can hardly keep up!
Thanks to Surcie, Bossy just got $3 closer to $1 million!
Leaf, probably... says
February 13, 2008 at 7:40 pmThat crooked litle heart at the bottom is just classic emotional blackmail. you do know that right?!
bev says
February 13, 2008 at 7:44 pmPoop… in my cat box…. and sleep on my…. couch on top of the unfolded laundry…comfy…
Meg says
February 13, 2008 at 7:44 pmUh, is this one of them there internet scams? Like, is Bossy going to use all that CASH to get new highlights or something? I smell a rat. But, it’s such doggone entertaining reading that I’m in for my share, whether it buys gas or one foil’s worth of highlights.
If Bossy comes and stays on Meg’s newly-assembled trundle bed, Meg will palm her a ten-spot for some gas! Yes, way.
Julie says
February 13, 2008 at 8:02 pmWe love you too, Bossy, and that is why I am going to go ahead and ask this question:
Bossy, have you pre-screened all the people you plan to visit? You know, to weed out the nut jobs?
Go ahead, call me paranoid (everyone does) but what if you wind up on the couch of a psycho axe-murderer? What if you disappear somewhere between the earthquakes and hurricanes because someone poisons your wine?
Bossy, I am a bundle of anxiety as it is. I have been fretting about this trip ever since you announced it. If you don’t come home and I no longer have Bossy around to make me laugh every day, I will have to go on some serious medication.
I can’t wait to read about your trip, but please, please PLEASE be careful!!
operagal says
February 13, 2008 at 9:06 pmwhen you’re here, you get an entire apartment to yourself!!!
operagal says
February 13, 2008 at 9:07 pmoh yeah…I donated some shekels to the fund.
Flea says
February 13, 2008 at 9:24 pmYou have your choice of the Dell laptop (an Inspiron 1720) or the Mac upstairs (it’s not so mobile, but the monitor is HUGE) if you stay here. I will fill your tank with gas before you leave. And … and … and … we have a king sized air mattress? Yes! Yes we do! And clean sheets! And … and … and … a husband who loves to cook!
kate says
February 13, 2008 at 9:39 pmand we love bossy too
stupidmommy says
February 13, 2008 at 10:12 pmYou forgot to add the red highlights to your self-portrait. Also, is that bed from Ikea?
Christina says
February 13, 2008 at 10:37 pmYay for sponsors! And at least the midwest is pretty quiet in the spring, aside from the occasional freak blizzard.
Grandma J says
February 13, 2008 at 10:45 pmI was just wondering how long Bert, Walt and Dondi stayed in Canton? How much fun can you have there anyway?
Also on you Excellent Road Trip…..the experts say there is no earthquake “season” actually most of the sizable earthquakes in the last century, in SoCA were this time of year.
Sylmar, January ’77
Whittier, February ’94
Long Beach, March…this was the granddaddy of them all but it was also in 1933.
Now, that doesn’t mean that the west coast won’t be rockn’ and rolln’ when Bossy arrives!
islaygirl says
February 13, 2008 at 10:52 pmi get paid friday. you can have $3 after i’m not overdrawn anymore. and if you don’t come to my house i’ll expect a refund.
kidding.
Erin - ExpectingExecutive says
February 13, 2008 at 11:25 pmOh, goody! Looks like Texas is ON THE MAP so it seems that Galveston remains in the “running” for one of your stops. I can throw some paypal jing your way but I already pledged the $25 Exxon card I got for Christmas to you. Gosh, are you needy or what!?!? Let me know if a one-way Southwest ticket will do you any good for your roadtrip. You could hop a plane from Columbus, OH (after hanging out with MomoFali) and arrive in Houston within hours instead of days. This IS fun! Hugs~ EE
Denise says
February 13, 2008 at 11:53 pmI just paid MORE than $3.00. Does this get me on your road trip??? I’m in Texas but not in hurricane season!!!! :o) Denise
qt says
February 14, 2008 at 1:48 amDonating the $3 ASAP
I still have room for you – I have a luxurious 2 bedroom, 2 bath apartment.
Will you need to poop in both toilets?
Holly says
February 14, 2008 at 7:41 amBossy, you should take sister honey bunch up on her offer for the Grand Traverse Resort! That alone could make your trip worth it!! Traverse city is beautiful…even in the dead of winter.
College Mama says
February 14, 2008 at 8:30 amI just recently started visiting here. I love it so much I gave you a double donation. Good luck on the trip!!
Oatmeal Yetti says
February 14, 2008 at 10:37 amI gave 20 big ones, just in case gas goes up another $6,000 before you leave. And I owe you for all the smiles and belly laughs!
Strizz says
February 14, 2008 at 10:40 amYou can use our toilet to poop and we already plan on giving you the youngest girls room to use. Complete with Princess bed spread. And we’re gonna wash all the sheets!
joeinvegas says
February 14, 2008 at 10:57 amOh, Bossy loves me. (do I have to tell my wife?)
Kirsten says
February 14, 2008 at 11:18 amI just bought you two gallons of gas – are you stopping in Baton Rouge, Louisiana?
Phoenix says
February 14, 2008 at 11:21 amYou really got a car sponsership? You are my hero.
PunditMom says
February 14, 2008 at 11:38 amWaiting to hear when you’ll arrive!
Shannon says
February 14, 2008 at 1:06 pmI saw your $3 and raised you $2 – but if you come through Daytona beach, I want to at least buy/make you a cup of coffee/tea and/or lunch/dinner (i’m so decisive) – and I also have a couch….
gwendomama says
February 14, 2008 at 1:57 pmi’ll donate $3 cubed if you will come visit me in california. you can have the guest cabin, you can poop in the guest toilet. i will give you beer and lemon drops (okay choose one, gwendomama hates a sloppy drunk but loves a fun drunk) and take you for the ride of your life.
haha i just typed lice!! they are not invited!
this ride:
http://beachboardwalk.com/02_giant_dipper.html
can’t get me no bossy love.
My Minivan Is Faster Than Yours says
February 14, 2008 at 5:46 pmI donated even though I never bothered to get on the official Road Trip bandwagon. However, should you make it to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area, which fyi is VERY beautiful in the summer, I’d love to see you!
There is even a good chance it won’t be over 110 degrees. Actually, not that good of a chance 🙂
Liz says
February 15, 2008 at 9:58 amYou are starting your road trip on my birthday! It will be a good start 🙂 So when do we learn if you are visiting us?
kc says
February 15, 2008 at 6:14 pmSince I live in Philadelphia, I suppose that wouldn’t be much of a road trip for you….unless you have a sudden yen for fresh smog and litter?
BookMamma says
February 16, 2008 at 2:12 pmYay Bossy! I’ve been waiting for that button so I can chip in. I’m really surprised they haven’t come out of the woodwork to get a piece of this blog-history action… seriously.
Hope you get to Dixie Land! You will most definietly have a place in our home should you need it. Oh, and we’ll stock up on matches!
Wayne says
February 17, 2008 at 5:16 amI see a lot of Texans begging for the visit. I paid before but I can pay again, but I think I win “best pimping of Bossy on a blog” award with the post I just put up.
I’m just sayin’
Dawn says
February 17, 2008 at 12:56 pmThis is the most awesome trip ever. I can’t wait to see how this shapes up. Will you put a big sign on your car to advertise across the country?
erin says
February 20, 2008 at 8:42 pmYou can poop at my house, but then I’m going to blog about it;)
