Today i am bossy turns three-years-old. Last year on Bossy’s second birthday she ceremoniously backed her car out of the driveway to begin her 10,000 mile Excellent Road Trip, except Bossy didn’t even know it was her blog’s second birthday because that’s exactly how sentimental she is.
This year Bossy and her blog will celebrate their birthday doing something way more ceremonious than a 35-day continental U.S. Road Trip — they will crawl across miles of hardwood floor painting a living room baseboard:
That leaves Bossy’s readers reader here alone to celebrate i am bossy‘s birthday. Bossy has a few suggestions of ways to pass the time:
Bossy has updated her Top 5 posts. You think you know, but you don’t: we’re talking presidential motorcades, firming sperm serum, mousy wives, blue lips, and early Seminole abortion practices — hurry over!
Or there’s this:
Right there in Bossy’s left column lives Bossy’s son on spring break, otherwise known as Bacchanalia By The Sea. Don’t miss! Or:
This is Bossy’s wildly successful new feature, where wildly successful equals Thank you Howard for visiting that once. This new music feature lives at the bottom of Bossy’s left column, where you will gain access to a song Bossy is currently listening to in her headphones. She is currently attending a 12-step program to help with her addiction to the latest band. Send help.
Or, speaking of cool tunes, you could watch Bossy’s Excellent Road Trip Thank You video:
Of course the above photo does not link to that Road Trip video because apparently i am bossy has to be 4-years-old to learn the useful stuff, but this underlined link will take you right there.
Lastly, Bossy would like to thank those of you who weighed-in regarding her Family Tree feature. Bossy will be picking up the story line again, as soon as she picks the paint clear of her fingernails.
Thank you Bossy readers, and happy happy birthday.

March 25, 2009 at 7:58 amI totally loved your 35 day Saturn trip and next time (and there should be a next time!) I want to go with you because I love road trips! I also know how to read a map (and fold it!) Garmin shrmarmin
Happy Birthday Bossy!

Florida Liz says
March 25, 2009 at 8:17 amHappy Birthday ! I’ve been reading for a year now and reading Bossy is a great way to start the day. Any plans for another music video production? Your Kusak and Dooce pieces were among the first things I perused and oh how I laughed. (Music is good too.)

corrie says
March 25, 2009 at 8:41 amHappy Happy Birthday to you I Am Bossy!
Happy Day for your loyal reader…no …READERS!!!
P.S. Bossy didn’t ever seem to be so wrapped up in ceremony…every year doesn’t need a road trip to mark the occasion. How about a relaxing glass (bottle) of wine?
Philly says
March 25, 2009 at 8:48 amHappy Birthday, you don’t look a day over 2

Hokie Deb says
March 25, 2009 at 8:57 am–>Happy Birthday Bossy!
I glad I found your site several months ago. Your unique sense of humor is refreshing and sometimes catches me completely off guard. It’s a good thing my coworkers are used to my random fits of laughter.

carson says
March 25, 2009 at 10:01 amHow appropos that after three years, I FINALLY figured out last night who you remind me of and look exactly like – that actress from Designing Women – Jean Smart. The hair, the face, the name… If no one has never told you that you look just like her, then no one has been paying attention.
Bellamomma says
March 25, 2009 at 10:50 amOH! For Bossy turns 4 — you could be a traveling painter! Visit blogger homes & paint in exchange for slightly used guest beds, homecooked meals & snuggles with babies (if you like that kind of thing – do you?) and maybe even a bit of cash.
Or would that be too much like Bossy’s current life?
Happy Birthday Bossy!!
Manic Mommy says

Happy Birthday Bossy’s blog!!!!
Reeb says
March 25, 2009 at 12:10 pmThis blog takes lots of work and nurturing, it looks like. You’re a good blogmom, Bossy. Buy it some cake and ice cream. Liqueur-soaked cake and bailey’s irish cream ice cream. And three candles. Do not set paint-covered fingertips on fire when lighting candles.
And happy three years to all you witty readers out there too. You, too, light up my mornings!

I’m going to second what everyone’s said already – your blog makes my day, every day.
Maybe next year you could road trip with a giant party bus so you can pick everyone up on the way?
Audubon Ron says
March 25, 2009 at 12:58 pmI just finished a Wendy’s #7, medium, diet coke and watched a NUMBER of I am Bossy videos for the first time at lunch from my standium office chair, Viewsonic, complete with headphones, and like, ahmygoodness.
Can we see get this on 3D Immersive Theater? Huh, can we?
Happy Bloggy Birfday.

Lee of MWOB says
March 25, 2009 at 2:23 pmHappy Birthday Bossy!! What would you like on your cake? Elmo? Blues Clues? Or are you more of the Yo Gabba Gabba type?
I can’t believe a three-year-old can paint her own baseboards AND ladder. I just want my 4-year-old to start wiping her own ass!!
Here’s to many many more Bossy. 🙂

This is my first visit, so I have 3 years to catch up on! I better get started.

You are a part of all our lives. Yay for bossy’s blog!
Cake is nice… I suppose. But it’s even nicer accompanied by three fingers of bourbon. And so, I’m raising my glass to iambossy RIGHT NOW!
CupcakeMurphy says
March 25, 2009 at 9:09 pmDear Bossy: Thank the lord you birthed yourself, thereby allowing me to laugh and smile and guffaw and wonder and go “OH MY” or “FFFFTTTT! no!” or “Hey lovey—listen to this” and just be hugely satisfied with the wonderful way you splash your Bossy Being across the cyberworld.

Chesapeake Bay Woman says
March 25, 2009 at 9:56 pmCumpleanos feliz, Senora Bossy.
I hope that Bossy’s next Major Road Trip is to New York City where not only will she receive a hair “experience” from The Italian Boyfriend, but she will sign the contracts for her late night talk show. (Where “late night” = “five a.m.” for those of us old farts who can’t stay up late but who have no problem getting up early, present company included.)
Bossy needs to be on TV. The End.
Emily says
March 25, 2009 at 10:01 pmHappy Annibirthday!!!! I hope this leads to bigger and better things.

March 25, 2009 at 11:19 pmAaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, yes. I’m feeling all gushy and sentimental inside, thinking about how last year at this time I was busily stalking you and doing my Bossy Countdown.
Now off to the top 5 to see if I missed any of it.

Headless Mom says
