Today is the first day of school at Camp Bossy, which officially marks the end of Bossy’s summer. So Bossy thought it would be fun to reflect on the last couple of months, where fun equals some people won’t be happy until they cry. Cue hangdog soundtrack.
The first thing Bossy did in June was throw a porch party:
Next Bossy attended a wedding:
And then in early July, Stella began her new tradition of taco night at Camp Bossy!
In the exact middle of the summer, Bossy slept with two men:
And then Bossy’s friend Martha had a black baby:
And then in late July, Bossy went to a blog conference and flew home with her new husband Jon Gosselin:
Next Bossy and her friend Martha perfected the art of Synchronized Slouching While Pocketbooking:
And finally, Bossy jumped in a lake:
Bossy can sum up her summer in this way: It wasn’t Paris France, but Bossy sure had some laughs.
Which is what today’s Ten-Word Challenge is all about. In exactly ten words, can you tell Bossy what you did this summer?
And don’t forget to check back later today for the summeriest things on the web.
