The new Road Trip video is complete, and includes the name of Bossy’s Excellent Sponsor as well as her itinerary.
Here’s what: Bossy realized early on that her Road Trip would have to be divided into two legs—kind of like the two legs she will need to have amputated after driving eight hours a day with varicose veins.
The first leg of her trip will take her to the West Coast and back and will include twenty-seven stops in thirty-four days. That leaves very little margin for error, which is convenient because Bossy has never been stuck in traffic or had the flu or forgotten to exit a highway because she was busy wondering if Toy Yorkies ever poop in those cute little dog purses.
The second leg of her trip will take Bossy through New York City and into New England and will include amndkdj ndsjflafji fid fkodifge. OK, so maybe Bossy hasn’t quite planned this part of her journey. That’s because first and foremost Bossy wants to make sure the snow has melted. In Mattawamkeag Maine. Happy waiting!
Meanwhile it’s very exciting to see alcoholics in need of a martini the Road Trip spirit spread, as hundreds of bloggers are joining forces to hang out with Bossy as she passes out passes through their city.
It’s a Love Fest. A Love Fest complete with two billion and a hundredy-ten emails trying to select locations to gather.
Lastly, Bossy is truly sorry if your city isn’t on the final itinerary. Just know that she tried her best to carve a logical route, and she had lots of help. Lots of oak-fermented help, with balanced tannins and a cherry aroma.
Here Is A Link Directly To YouTube In Case The Embedded Video Is All Buggy Like On Bossy’s Computer.

March 4, 2008 at 10:50 amwHooooooo!!! Orlando!
I’ll have to drive tens of minutes!!
Undomestic Diva says
March 4, 2008 at 10:55 amCan’t wait for your stop in So. CA. I don’t know that we’ve figured out our locale yet, but it will be a lot of fun to meet up with you and other bloggers. The martinis couldn’t hurt either.

March 4, 2008 at 10:58 amFrack — my work’s network is blocking your video. The fun will have to wait ’til this evening.
Momo Fali says
March 4, 2008 at 11:03 amI love Saturn!! WAAAAY more that that stupid Jupiter.
The Mom Bomb says
March 4, 2008 at 11:04 amI’m not sure what I’m more excited about: The fact that your road trip is coming, or the fact that I own the same kind of shoes as you.
Momo Fali says
March 4, 2008 at 11:05 am“THAN that”. Stupid Momo.
andrea says
March 4, 2008 at 11:05 amHurray for Saturn! Not only is it a cool planet but it’s a great car manufacturer! We look forward to meeting you in Cleveland. Rock on!
joeinvegas says
March 4, 2008 at 11:17 amI can just see Bossy on California 1, driving the coast in that little silver thing with the top down, singing along to whatever – congrats on hooking up a sponsor.
Cathy says
March 4, 2008 at 11:25 amWow! A sponsor – way to go!
I’m so excited to meet you. I’m sure the Chicago group will figure things out soon!
See you in April!
Some advice you didn’t ask for: Buy a powder form of Vitamin C and add 1/2 a teaspoon to a drink once a day – that should help keep you healthy during this road trip!
Laura says
March 4, 2008 at 11:27 amAwesome-I wish you were coming to my house Bossy!!
You can call me, 'Sir' says
March 4, 2008 at 11:43 amThat does it. I’m starting a blog. Good things happen when you start blogs. I mean, holy crap. Saturn. Cars. Travel. Booze.
Holy crap, yo. That’s all I’m saying.
Peg says
March 4, 2008 at 11:52 amWOWZA!! This sponsorship is way too cool. Does Saturn provide a designated driver for you, too? I can’t see Bossy consuming copius amounts of adult beverages at each stop and then driving all day long the next day. You will need a chauffeur, so you can sleep in the back seat all day! Don’t worry, we have all seen your bed head and glasses.
Hotdog says
March 4, 2008 at 12:00 pmBossy is so pretty! But I only noticed how pretty Bossy was after I was able to peel my eyes away from the fingerless orange gloves…
they were very distracting.
All Adither says
March 4, 2008 at 12:07 pmBOSSY is so damn cool.
Lisa.Roberts. says
March 4, 2008 at 12:12 pmHey, I’m in L.A., looking forward to it. I also own a Saturn, do I get some VIP badge or something?
lintys says
March 4, 2008 at 12:15 pmLove. it! Woo Hoo Saturn! Yea Chicago! I would very much like to be at the Chicago meet up! Excellent video, and I agree with Peg – Bossy is very pretty!
I like the orange gloves.
lintys says
March 4, 2008 at 12:16 pmLove. it! Woo Hoo Saturn! Yea Chicago! I would very much like to be at the Chicago meet up! Excellent video, and I agree with Peg – Bossy is very pretty!
I like the orange gloves.
Nilsa S. says
March 4, 2008 at 12:17 pmFantastic video, MS BOSSY! I can’t tell you how stoked I am you’re making Chicago a stop. Even if it is out in the suburbs. I’d travel hours to see you. (Which I just might have to do – damn traffic!)
Suzy says
March 4, 2008 at 12:17 pmCongrats on the sponsor and Ellen can bite me.
amy says
March 4, 2008 at 12:22 pmCONGRATS sexy mama!
I am so pumped for you and the Saturn sponsership! You ROCK ROCK ROCK
Caroline says
March 4, 2008 at 12:30 pmWOW! Serious sponsor. Go Bossy! Can your own reality show be far behind? BOSSY’S ROAD. BOSSY’S HOUSE. BOSSY’S TOWN. PLANET BOSSY!
I recommend you try to get Primo Beer to sponsor Bossy’s Hawaiian Adventure ’09.
David says
March 4, 2008 at 12:33 pmI eagerly await the Northeast passage itinerary. I’m soooooo excited.
Mary Alice says
March 4, 2008 at 12:35 pmBossy you are going to have one butt sprung good time. Looking forward to reading and seeing the adventures.
liv says
March 4, 2008 at 12:42 pmalright, bossy laday. atlanta is waiting for you!
Rogue Mama says
March 4, 2008 at 12:43 pmSLC?
Does this mean Bossy will be stalking the illustrious Dooce?
feefifoto says
March 4, 2008 at 12:48 pmNo. Way. You get to drive that cool sports car? You are soooo lucky.
Are you bringing the orange slippers that match the gloves?
texasgurl says
March 4, 2008 at 12:58 pmrock on witcha bad self, bossy, that video was sweet. I really, really wish you could drive to England so I could take part in the love fest. oh, well, I’ll be watching from afar.
Lori says
March 4, 2008 at 1:04 pmI’m so excited! I know we haven’t figured out a locale yet, but I’ll just stalk your friend Wendy’s place if we can’t come up w/ something!
Lynn in Tucson says
March 4, 2008 at 1:04 pmScottsdale? Scottsdale??? Aw, man. I am so bummed that we couldn’t get you to Tucson. I suspect you’re more a Tucson kind of girl.
Just sayin’.
Saige says
March 4, 2008 at 1:07 pmFor once I’m happy my fair city is in the middle of nowhere. Bossy needs a break between Orlando and Baton Rouge.
margalit says
March 4, 2008 at 1:07 pmCan’t wait to hear more about the second leg. Maybe you can get Rolls Royce to sponsor that part of the road trip. Just sayin’.
Jennifer says
March 4, 2008 at 1:10 pmOh bugger!
Now I want to call in sick from work, take out a loan and make the drive to Dallas!
Maybe I can swing something…
Jody says
March 4, 2008 at 1:16 pmDallas will work. I have family in Ft. Worth, so I might be able to take my own road trip up there.
Congrats on the Saturn sponsorship. That is very cool!
Let us know the details etc.
Average Jane says
March 4, 2008 at 1:19 pmYeah, sorry about the hundredy-ten e-mails we’ve produced trying to pick a drinking location in Kansas City. I think we’ve settled on one, though.
APeetsMom says
March 4, 2008 at 1:21 pmI hope there is a fine evening out here in the LA area! Come to Long Beach – then the LA bloggers and the OC Bloggers can meet in the middle! Awesome sponsor – LOVE that sporty number!
qt says
March 4, 2008 at 1:24 pmThe sponsorship is way cool. Now you need one of those blowup, doughnut things for your tushie – that drive is going to take its toll…
HRH says
March 4, 2008 at 1:31 pm2 billion and 100-y, ten or maybe 20, but CANNOT wait…
Ree says
March 4, 2008 at 1:31 pmBossy is talking about the multitudes of emails going around with those Michigan women, isn’t she?
We’re sorry. But you know now, how much we truly adore you.
Christine says
March 4, 2008 at 1:31 pmSCHWEEEEET! Can’t wait to hook up in the sparkly San Fransisco! Hope Bossy has that sporty ride while cruising the hills of the city. Congratulations on that awesome sponsor!
Dharmamama says
March 4, 2008 at 1:32 pmHey – where’s my Planet Bossy T-shirt? That’s one more thing to do before you leave – design those.
I was struck in the exchange of Atlanta area e-mails how much alcohol figured into everyone’s agenda. Girl, you gon’ be tore up by the end of your trip if you drink as heavily as everyone’s planning on. Remember – don’t let the peer pressure get to ya.
magpie says
March 4, 2008 at 1:32 pmBossy rocks – she drives a stick shift.
But what’s with the orange gloves?
Ree says
March 4, 2008 at 1:35 pmOh, and hoooooray for Saturn. And _______ and ________. Love them.
Noelle says
March 4, 2008 at 1:36 pmI love my Saturn, I’m jazzed they’re sponsoring you.
Kirsten says
March 4, 2008 at 1:39 pmYIPPEE – where is the Baton Rouge gathering? I can bring some yummy wine, because it is heart-healthy!
Avitable says
March 4, 2008 at 1:39 pmYou got Saturn to sponsor you? Absolutely brilliant.
Only three weeks away (and change)!
Miss Britt says
March 4, 2008 at 1:39 pmI am in awe Bossy. Really.
This whole fucking thing is just genius.
Maria R says
March 4, 2008 at 1:45 pmWhy am I always the 42nd commenter.
Eclectically yours doesn’t see her name here…yet. I’m sure bossy just got busy and didn’t add my PUSH PIN yet.
Meanwhile, I know how to say Mattawamkeag. Does bossy? We promise if you come there will not be any snow. I think.
The Domestic Goddess says
March 4, 2008 at 1:50 pmFor REALZ???? Like, Saturn the DIFFERENT KIND OF CAR COMPANY? How cool is that? WOOHOOO!!!!
And, 27 stops in 24 days? I didn’t know you’d be gone that long. This is sooooo coool!!!! Can’t wait to read about it. Now, did you get Mac Air to sponsor you yet?
Jenny says
March 4, 2008 at 2:10 pmWoo hoo!!! That’s so great Saturn is sponsoring you! And I’m thrilled that you’ll be passing thru Salt Lake City – I’ll definitely come to wherever your meetup is!
Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah says
March 4, 2008 at 2:30 pmI used to have a Saturn and I used to live in Orlando.
Coincidence? I think not!
See you in DC.
chirky says
March 4, 2008 at 2:31 pmI wonder how I can get Saturn to sponsor ME? I’m not going anywhere. I just want a free car to drive. Around Dallas. I mean, that’s worth something, right?
Sarah, Goon Squad Sarah says
March 4, 2008 at 2:31 pmI forgot to say: We’re #1!!!
(I think. I’m not that great at geography or math.)
Miz Booshay says
March 4, 2008 at 2:34 pmOh my gosh. You’re coming to Madison!! Hooray!
How do we find out if there is a meet up?
We did a cheer in high school to that Rock Steady song.
I still remember it.
You really wan to meet me know don’t you?
anastasia beaverhausen says
March 4, 2008 at 2:41 pmCan’t wait to see you in Dallas.
Foolery says
March 4, 2008 at 2:51 pmBossy needs to have some magnetic signs made for the car. Saturn would dig that, and Bossy would look like a NASCAR car.
That may not be an upside. BUT STILL.
SayWhat? says
March 4, 2008 at 3:13 pmI’m thinkin’ one of Bossy’s other sponsors needs to be Depends if she is doing all that driving in such a short amount of time! And maybe a hotel chain – with free masage therapy at each stop?
Wicked cool video! And all the cool people (just look at Project Runway) drive Saturns!
Amy Beth @ Ministry So Fabulous! says
March 4, 2008 at 3:27 pmOMG. Bossy is, like, so hot. I had no idea!
Tootsie Farklepants says
March 4, 2008 at 3:29 pmI’m in Los Angeles and have cash for BOSSY’S martinis. Just sayin’
Tootsie Farklepants says
March 4, 2008 at 3:30 pmAnd also, BOSSY is very pretty. And is in possession of all of her fingertips.
blackbird says
March 4, 2008 at 3:53 pmBossy is a fucking genius.
There. I’ve said it.
And I don’t think she’s going to shut up FOR ONE SINGLE MINUTE.
Flea says
March 4, 2008 at 4:38 pmAwesome sponsor. 🙂 So is Bossy still going to be sleeping on couches?
vuboq says
March 4, 2008 at 4:53 pmvuboq is glad DC is your first stop so we can buy you some new shoes 😉
[My cousin in the Frozen Tundra (aka. Michigan) is so jealous you are coming to DC) HA!]
Craig says
March 4, 2008 at 5:00 pmWhat an awesome sponsor. Some might say they’re out of this world!
Nyuck nyuck nyuck.
Barbara says
March 4, 2008 at 5:15 pmShould we raise funds for the Official Bossy Astronaut Diapers, so she doesn’t have to make too many roadside stops?
Not June Cleaver says
March 4, 2008 at 5:36 pmCool sponsor! Now Bossy needs Garmin to throw in a portable GPS (I love my NUVI 750)!
soNOTcool says
March 4, 2008 at 5:56 pmOooh, cool. I saw my sofa on that city list!!
Yay.
Now, does Saturn provide designated drivers?!
Denise says
March 4, 2008 at 5:59 pmDALLAS! Yeah!!!!! :o)
Biddy says
March 4, 2008 at 6:00 pmi’m so jealous bossy gets to drive awesome hybrid saturns! that is stinkin awesome!
i’m so ready to meet bossy, i’ve already packed (see biddysworld for fun details on THAT!)
this is going to sound really lesbian stalkerish, but i’m a massage therapist, so if all that driving gets you all knotted up, i’ll gladly rub your shoulders in dallas! and you can totally keep your clothes on haha
Shayera says
March 4, 2008 at 6:12 pmCan’t wait!
Heather says
March 4, 2008 at 6:28 pmMaybe you can get TicketOne to sponsor you to pay for all your speeding tickets? That is so cool that Saturn will be sponsoring your trip. I’m so excited about the whole thing. Can’t wait for the St. Louis stop.
meleah rebeccah says
March 4, 2008 at 6:51 pmOh My God.
First…I LOVE the fingerless orange gloves.
Second…YOU RULE.
Third….I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT I CANT WAIT
Fourth….Kick ASS sponsor.
Fifth: GREAT VIDEO.
martha says
March 4, 2008 at 7:38 pmAnd how smart is Saturn to get their name attached to this gig! Cool deal.
Surcie says
March 4, 2008 at 7:45 pmOy is right. But this is SO exciting. I can’t wait to read all about it! And YAY, SATURN!
prospero says
March 4, 2008 at 7:50 pmShould have held out for a Sky.
In the Trenches of Mommyhood says
March 4, 2008 at 9:07 pmWhew. I had a panic attack when I watched the video first and didn’t see BOSTON.
BUT THEN I read the fine print and realized Boston is on the SECOND LEG of Bossy’s trip!
Maren says
March 4, 2008 at 11:26 pmYAY Madison! Also, it is very good that is on the way back home, maybe it will have stopped snowing feets and feets by then (those feet are hard to plow!)
MammaLoves says
March 5, 2008 at 12:14 amOh you’ll still be fresh when you get to us!!
Can’t wait to see you. Mamma Loves BOSSY.
Jenn @ Juggling Life says
March 5, 2008 at 12:44 amiamstoked.com
That’s San Diego talk for “can’t wait!”
Elsewhere says
March 5, 2008 at 1:09 amBut will there be blog at the time Bossy is on the road?
jahooni says
March 5, 2008 at 2:32 amwhen will you be in LA, a little far for me but if you “Drive it They Shall Come”… or somthin like that! ;)~
debbie says
March 5, 2008 at 2:43 amSo for the rest of us…who won’t be able to have the “Bossy Experience”, I too am hoping for t-shirts and for everyone to be reporting on the blow-outs!!! so sad…so lonely..so faaaarrrr away and living vicariously through everyone else!!!
kim at allconsuming says
March 5, 2008 at 4:59 amOMFG
You so totally rock.
Kait says
March 5, 2008 at 5:19 amBossy is coming to St Louis??
I want in on that meet up! Especially since Bossy was kind enough to let me know so many truly excellent places to visit while in New York City.
Aku says
March 5, 2008 at 6:27 amFinland didn’t make it then. Oh well! Happy road trip! Very excited for you!!
karrie says
March 5, 2008 at 7:19 amWell, damn.
I wonder how I could get Roadtrek to sponsor my next trip? Roadtrek, if you’re reading this, Bossy has Saturn. I have a three year old copilot, hence I need the world’s best Class B motorhome. 🙂
Good for you!
Jacki says
March 5, 2008 at 7:32 amGreat video! Can’t wait to see you in DC!
Karla says
March 5, 2008 at 7:53 amBossy’s Excellent Roadtrip looks like it is going to be, well, Excellent.
If Bossy does this again next year and veers off to Canada, I would drive several hours to see her.
dgm says
March 5, 2008 at 8:49 am“What it is, what it is!” I know Bossy will be in that silver convertible when we see her in San Diego & OC!
Absurdist says
March 5, 2008 at 8:59 amI am so excited you are going to come visit us in Dallas. We are honored.
BTW, did you want me to set you up with a male hooker, since you are going to go so long without sex?
Tammy says
March 5, 2008 at 9:30 amDid Bossy make an illegal U-turn at 1:50? I plan to watch this video many times today to make myself laugh. The gloves are solid gold.
Bossy – you’re my hero.
corrie says
March 5, 2008 at 10:15 amBossy is so very pretty!! All that complaining about hair and the hair in that video was supergorgeous!! And such a covergirl smile too!
Everyone in Massachusetts is waiting (not so patiently!) for the second leg of varicose veins …
Can blog readers be invited to meet Bossy too even if they are not bloggers??? I am worried!
MamaMo says
March 5, 2008 at 10:26 amAny chance you’ll want to stop in Burlington, NC for a quick (alcohol-free) lunch [right off the highway] and leg stretch between Richmond and Atlanta?! *fingers crossed*
Manic Mommy says
March 5, 2008 at 10:33 amOf course you drive stick, Bossy. It only makes you cooler. Also, I think the last word you say on your video is “shit” shocking!
See you on the New England leg!
zmulls says
March 5, 2008 at 12:19 pmOne wants to ask how far the two legs will be spread out, but that would be rude.
Jen M says
March 5, 2008 at 12:38 pmWooot! See you in APril!!!!! Can’t wait!
mp says
March 5, 2008 at 12:46 pmFirst off: Bossy or Kait…email me at bbmp6685@gmail.com to get the scoop on St Louis! (Bossy is coming to St Louis??
I want in on that meet up! Especially since Bossy was kind enough to let me know so many truly excellent places to visit while in New York City.
Posted by: Kait | March 05, 2008 at 05:19 AM)
Congrats on your sponser Bossy..I’m proud that St Louis only took 16 emails to settle on a place!
denise says
March 5, 2008 at 1:51 pmI’m so excited that Seattle is on the list! Because not only will I get a chance to meet Bossy, but also possibly Mrs. G (one of my other favorite bloggers).
Dawn says
March 5, 2008 at 2:57 pmwhoo hooo!!!!!
Oh, and I linked to your Cusack vid today b/c I had a dream about Cusack and you 🙂
Mr Farty says
March 5, 2008 at 3:15 pmYay, Bossy’s coming to Scotchland!
No, wait…Scottsdale.
That’s near Scotchland, right? Right?
Look after Bossy, guys. Sigh.
Tammy says
March 5, 2008 at 3:28 pmUmmm… I took that alcoholics in need of a martini quote personal. But you’re right, just getting into the road trip spirit! Hope to meet up with you in THE BIG D.
Saturn rocks!
operagal says
March 5, 2008 at 6:59 pmmartinis, appletinis, what-eveh tinis.
congrats on the sponsorship!
Tracey says
March 5, 2008 at 8:14 pmI want to be Bossy! Or at least Commanding, Bossy’s new sidekick!
kate says
March 5, 2008 at 10:09 pmdear bossy,
i am waiting. on the curb outside my house. starting riiiight….NOW! with my roommate, john cusack, so hurry up!
impatiently yours,
kate
Lorien says
March 6, 2008 at 12:39 amWe are going to have a blast with BOSSY in the Bay Area. I can’t promise John Cusack, but I have a great Luke Wilson story, AND I just got a new job, so I’m totally buying you a drink!
Jonah Lisa says
March 6, 2008 at 12:02 pmSo glad you’ll be in Salt Lake. I’ll try to come down and meet people while you’re down there. I could use a Mommy escape anyway.
Truth be told, it’s probably good you aren’t coming to Teton Valley and staying on my couch. We’re recovering alcoholics and don’t keep booze in the house–though we’re still fun and amusing, I promise.
Yep, I was purposely withholding that info in my bid to get on the itinerary. Now that I know I’m not on it I don’t mind telling you how narrowly you escaped a sober night.
This set up is way better. I can hook up with the SLC contingent and be the designated driver.
Kudos on snagging Saturn. What fun!
Tammy says
March 6, 2008 at 1:53 pmDo you have to be a blogger to meet Bossy or can readers join in (fingers crossed that it is the latter)?
Tammy says
March 6, 2008 at 1:54 pmDo you have to be a blogger to meet Bossy or can readers join in (fingers crossed that it is the latter)?
Suburban Kamikaze says
March 6, 2008 at 2:06 pmThank God you got that little highlight problem taken care of… We were thinking we were going to have to take you shopping for hats.
SK
Robert says
March 6, 2008 at 7:21 pmMaybe you could hit up some info on the cars, like the fact that the Astra and Aura are Opels rebadged as Saturns. Give credit where credit is due please! Get the word out about it so that maybe we can actually get a real Opel back in the US!
Madame Jozet at Halushki says
March 7, 2008 at 1:30 amWaaaaaa…
maybe someday we can meet in Philly.
Nancy says
March 7, 2008 at 6:27 amCongrats on the sponsor! Sounds like you will be having a ton of fun!
when will you be in Binghamton NY?
Ruth Dynamite says
March 7, 2008 at 6:38 amDrive on, Bossy! (Can’t wait to see you on Leg II of your trip!)
Brando says
March 7, 2008 at 9:43 amThat is so awesome about the sponsorship. I hope you get a ton of attention (and more sponsors) for this.
PunditMom says
March 7, 2008 at 2:55 pmShhhh. I won’t tell Mr. PunditMom that we’re raiding the good stuff from his wine stash in the Eurocave!
Kit says
March 7, 2008 at 9:44 pmT-shirts…we totally need t-shirts!!
What do you think, Bossy?
Congrats on the sponsor! That rocks…you rock. Can’t wait to hear when you come to BOSTON!! Don’t worry, I have connections and can assure you that the snow will be removed…
Criquette says
March 8, 2008 at 11:41 pmWOOHOO! We haven’t had this much excitement in Toto-ville since that thing with Dorothy and the tornado! Can’t wait – we’ll have a blast.
PS – that is some fierce knitware you have on your hands.
jenB says
March 9, 2008 at 4:29 amyou are a mofo genius, and even though you ain’t coming to canada, i love you like a sister baby. you are amazing.
Elizabeth says
March 10, 2008 at 9:32 amI will move hell and high water (whatever that means) to meet up with you in Detroit (metro Detroit? or DETROIT Detroit?)!!
Detroit is one of those words that starts to look wrong the more you spell it.
Ahem. Anyway, I can’t wait! You are a ROCKSTAR, baby.
Kimberley Taylor says
March 11, 2008 at 9:33 amI’m so jealous I could spit!
No, but seriously, I would have invited you up to Vermont, but March is when we get hit with a month long ugly stick.
Since you’re wisely avoiding the north, maybe we’ll get you the next round…meanwhile, I’m looking forward to living vicariously through what’s sure to be a rowdy trip with plenty of details.

tanyetta says
March 15, 2008 at 4:45 amIs San Diego listed?????????
