Last night Bossy had the chance to unofficially kick-off her (No) Book Tour road trip, where unofficially equals Bossy isn’t actually on the road yet. But Bossy and her Philadelphia blogger friends convened anyway, in a tater tot factory bowling alley.
The always entertaining Cecily was there and sweet Ruth was there and darling Kelly was there and the irrepressible Kristin was there and Kristin’s blog wife Meg was there and cute Heather was there and the Domestic Goddess was in the house and finally Bossy’s Lora.
And the Philly bloggers bowled, where bowled equals they ate and drank and talked and laughed and occasionally were interrupted by that ball with three holes.
See how much fun you can have without a pesky New York Times Bestseller List book to promote?
It warms Bossy’s heart when she thinks about how all of these women came into each other’s lives solely due to their blogs. There’s nothing like being with a dynamic, similar, unique group of people brought together in unconventional circumstances. If Bossy’s (No) Book Tour is coming to a city near you, please consider coming out and being a part of the love fest.
And speaking of coming to a city near you, isn’t it funny how Bossy hasn’t announced these cities yet, where funny equals Bossy is this minute wrestling the alligator that is her six-week itinerary — but she will be announcing these cities and dates within the next day or two, along with a video featuring her fabulous team of (No) Book Tour sponsors!

March 25, 2010 at 12:33 pmIt’s pretty obvious, you’re my kind of girls. I had to fill in on a bowling team and they kept dragging me away from the snack bar. Then they yelled at me for not being serious andf…ing up. Bitches, serious bowling bitches! Bossy, what form! Tell the truth, are you a secretly serious bowling bitch?
APeetsMom says
March 25, 2010 at 12:40 pmWoo Hoo! Good times!
Evolving says
March 25, 2010 at 12:47 pmI am so very sad that you will be going through Austin / San Antonio and I will be MISSING it. When your (NO)Book goes international please let me know, kay??
Traci says
March 25, 2010 at 12:52 pmI am so excited for your (NO)Book Tour! Hoping you stop through the Bay Area, I’d love to get a chance to meet up with you and your many fans!!!
The New Girl says
March 25, 2010 at 12:54 pmOh, my heart.
It weeps to have missed it! You all look so squishable and I’m so sad that I didn’t get to see you off!
Did you…you know, at least…MISS ME TERRIBLY?!
P.S. MEG! You saw MEG! I thought maybe aliens had abducted her.
xoxo

March 25, 2010 at 1:08 pm–>Oh it makes me sad that you’ll be in Richmond and not closer to Virginia Beach.
(It would have been funny if you put that white “this could be you” profile face in the first group picture. Okay, I amuse myself…)

Cactus Petunia says
March 25, 2010 at 1:11 pmYee Ha! What a way to kick off a tour!
The Domestic Goddess says
March 25, 2010 at 1:24 pmNew Girl, we TOTALLY talked about you all night. TOTALLY. And we missed you bunches, baby.
Dood. We are some of the palest white girls ever. Sad, sad, sad!
Bri says
March 25, 2010 at 1:37 pmOh Gah Bossy. If Denver isn’t on the list I’m going to drown in a puddle of tears.
And I’m even thinking of starting a blog of my own, just so I can feel like a part of the “girls.”
Pamela says
March 25, 2010 at 1:38 pmSigh. Kristin. Sigh. Kelly. Sigh. Lora. Sigh. Maybe you can pack those gals in your trunk and bring them to my house?
Pamela says
March 25, 2010 at 1:39 pmAnd MEOW, Heather’s legs. And also *wink*.
jewelee says
March 25, 2010 at 1:40 pmWere Bossy and the woman in the fifth picture separated at birth?!
La Suzette says
March 25, 2010 at 1:41 pmOMG, there really were Tater Tots! Awesome! Seattle awaits your no-book arrival. Ta.
lora says
March 25, 2010 at 1:48 pmtrust us all when we tell you that none of us are serious bowlers. Four of us were bowling and our combined score didn’t break 300!
But the time was beyond amazing.
Jennatjugglinglife says
March 25, 2010 at 2:28 pmI cannot offer you a bowling alley that looks like that–but I will bake you a cake with your name on it!
Cecily says
March 25, 2010 at 2:52 pmRockin’ good times, dudettes!
Daddy Scratches says
March 25, 2010 at 2:55 pmColor me jealous!
Looking forward to the (No) Book Tour’s visit to the Boston area.
Melanie @ Mel, A Dramatic Mommy says
March 25, 2010 at 3:08 pmSan Diego. San Diego. San Diego. San Diego.
Fabs says
March 25, 2010 at 3:12 pmBossy, how come you’ve never mentioned you have a sister? I can’t believe how much you and the gal in the black/grey dress look alike!
HG says
March 25, 2010 at 3:14 pmEnjoyed thoroughly. The company even more than the tots. I need a tan. And a few less chins.
the 7msn ranch says
March 25, 2010 at 3:24 pmWow…must start working on tan now just in case Bossy makes it to New Mexico.
Bri says
March 25, 2010 at 3:36 pmCan’t wait to see you when you make your way through the Chicago area!
cagey says
March 25, 2010 at 4:18 pmAm looking forward to the Kansas City leg of the tour – if it is half as much fun as last year, we are in for another treat.
Cannot wait to see you and your ridiculously long arms again.
foolery says
March 25, 2010 at 5:52 pmSO glad that a tan is not required for the No Book Tour meet-and-eats. It’s one thing I can’t muster. Can’t wait . . . currently hopping up and down a little.
Yellaphant says
March 25, 2010 at 7:12 pmUGH! I miss it.
Bobbi Janay @When did I go from a kid to a grown up? says
March 25, 2010 at 7:51 pmI hope you make it to Texas.
Cathy says
March 25, 2010 at 9:18 pmWebSavvyMom pointed me in your direction and I’m still getting caught up on this whole no book tour thing. But, if it involves bowling and tots, it can’t be a bad thing!
meleah rebeccah says
March 25, 2010 at 9:24 pmYou all look like you are having SUCH a great time! These photos are FANTASTIC.
carma says
March 25, 2010 at 9:48 pmfun stuff. I’d love to join in sometime only I’ll need the kiddie rails up
no seriously.
Half Assed Kitchen says
March 25, 2010 at 10:31 pmIt’s like a mini-BlogHer. Except without me. And 2,000 others.
Cupcake Murphy says
March 25, 2010 at 10:46 pmUnexpectedly, my heart burst with love and appreciation after reading this. I love seeing all the laughter and I love reading about all the laughter.
Gretchen says
March 26, 2010 at 1:25 amwow, good to see I wasn’t the only person thinking that Meg, is it? Looks just like Bossy!
tina de luxe says
March 26, 2010 at 4:11 amI had been wondering about the new colour of hair as well – so that’s Meg. Took me some seconds to notice, especially as the leg-showing wouldn’t have been too unlikely for Bossy either …
joeinvegas says
March 26, 2010 at 6:43 amWow, didn’t know all that was available, I’d settle for the one on the far right, but willing to take them all. I signed up, now let’s see if Vegas is on the list this year. (I can dream, can’t I?)
Kelly says
March 26, 2010 at 8:32 amWe missed you bunches, T.
So awesome to eat and drink and talk with such cool ladies. Let’s do it again soon.
Amber Star says
March 26, 2010 at 10:29 amOh dear…I thought that girl had pulled up her pants leg so she could pull up her white tights, and it was her skin! Nice alabaster skin, dear.
Looks like you all had a fine time at the ole bowling alley. We have one just down the way and around the corner….I’m just saying.
Reeb says
March 26, 2010 at 12:38 pmBossy,
I know you’re hung over and all, dear, but some more captions would have been helpful. Cause some o’ this bloggettes don’t bother posting their photos on their sites so how do I (a) know who is who so as to (b) stalk them?
Hey, those gams of yours are working well enough to bowl! I’d enjoy all that, except the bowling part.
Meg says
March 26, 2010 at 2:56 pmHave applied for a hall pass and am trying to recruit co-conspirators for the DC-fest. Bossy, you are like a Blog Evangelist!
Sarahviz says
March 26, 2010 at 3:07 pmFingers and toes crossed for Baaahston!
GrandeMocha says
March 26, 2010 at 3:39 pmMeg (?) & Bossy could be sisters.
Gail K. says
March 26, 2010 at 5:14 pmI like the idea of meeting in Tater Tot factories!
junebug says
March 27, 2010 at 1:14 amWow, Bossy and Meg look alike.
Dawn in Austin says
March 27, 2010 at 4:30 amI have a feeling Austin will never be the same. What is that saying? “Nice girls rarely make history” Yeah.
Can’t wait!!
Cece says
March 27, 2010 at 7:48 amThis sounds like such good fun! Hope you come to Albuquerque! We need a little excitement!
Cece
dobes says
March 27, 2010 at 11:42 amMeg (?) and Bossy look SO much alike, that in the first picture I seriously thought the girls were holding a life-size Bossy CUT-OUT!
Clair says
March 27, 2010 at 10:04 pmLooks like you ladies had a blast. I hope the no-book tour makes it to San Francisco!
josh says
March 28, 2010 at 1:56 pmOMG…YES! I LOVE LORA!
Tom says
March 29, 2010 at 10:42 pmDid I ever tell you I was a Bucks County boy? Yep and maybe TMI, born in Doylestown, PA circa 1955
jeanne Greenwald says
March 30, 2010 at 5:54 pmI gave away my pink bowling ball. But that orange one in the picture? Oooh, that’s sweeeet. And I never was a bowler.
Big fun coming…I hope!
