Who remembers Room 222, the television series about a high school history teacher and his pals the guidance counselor, the principal, and the student teacher — who imparted 30-minute lessons of tolerance inside the Room 222 classroom?
Well, this post is not about tolerance. Because Bossy’s Room 222, in a hotel nestled in the Berkshires, was where your grandmother’s textiles went to die:
For better or worse, the conservative nature of the Western Massachusetts hotel didn’t stop Bossy from rolling up to the front desk like a Fly Girl reject:
Once situated in room 222, though, Bossy felt very at home. Her only decision was whether to watch TV, or watch TV.
That night Bossy met up with her amazing Western Massachusetts council, like Jenn, Heather, The Mater, and Ali, with a special shout out to Jean!
Early the next morning Bossy was up and out for destinations east:
Specifically Bossy drove across the state to a small seaside village where Bossy was reunited with her far-flung Philadelphia council member Yellaphant, who relocated to the Boston-area and all of those nice Boston-area bars when she married a Boston-area husband:
Where were we? Chowder, bar, bar, wine hangover, morning bike ride — right! And then Bossy packed up her stuff and drove to Boston!
Once in Cambridge, Bossy met up with her burgeoning and very esteemed Boston council, including Bossy’s host fer christsake Chicky Chicky Baby, Daddy Scratches, Christine, Christina, another Christine, Ron, Meg, Sarah, Michelle, Margalit, Angela, Sierra, and the cameraperson blogger Erin, with a special shout out to Golden, Betsey, and Jeff!
And then early the next morning which was still dark as night, Bossy tackled the last of her long drives — this one nine hours — which delivered Bossy to her mom’s front porch, where she promptly dove head first into a cauldron of Beef Bourguignon. The end.

May 20, 2010 at 8:24 amIt was so nice to see Bossy was home. Welcome home, Bossy!
ShallowGal says
May 20, 2010 at 8:24 amI stayed at the Williamstown Inn, like 20 years ago when my sister graduated Williams College. They’ve updated it since then!
Daddy Scratches says
May 20, 2010 at 8:33 amIt was great seeing Bossy in Cambridge the other night. And, no, not just because of those big, fat drinks in the foreground … though they certainly didn’t hurt. 😉
PS: Sorry to hear about your breakup with (Harrison) Ford. Guess it was just a spring fling.
WebSavvyMom says
May 20, 2010 at 8:38 am–>Does Bossy even remember how to get into a car without it being behind the wheel (of Harrison Ford)?

May 20, 2010 at 8:39 amI know we’re all human and have problems and issues, blah, blah, blah but you, Bossy, have a wonderful life filled with wonderful people!
Welcome Home!
km says
May 20, 2010 at 8:40 amWhen that inn is finished with grandma’s textiles they send it to the America’s Cup Inn in Newport, RI where they ask, where else can we put a floral pattern? Why yes, the shower curtain as well as every square inch of this room and its furniture.
But it’s a hoot to stay in !

May 20, 2010 at 9:17 amMeg of Members Lounge attended Bossy’s Boston meetup and sent me over. The tour sounds like such a good idea! I’ve got several blogging beloveds in the adjoining state that I’d love to visit. Bossy has inspired me!
Suzanne says
May 20, 2010 at 9:43 amWelcome Home Bossy! It was a great trip. Thanks for letting us live it with you.
breedemandweep says
May 20, 2010 at 9:44 amOh, that Republican bedspread. I could feel its political leanings from here.
Miss you. SO honored to have been a part of your No-Book Tour, baby. More than I can ever say.
Love!
Fl Liz says
May 20, 2010 at 9:54 amOk… I remember Room 222. It came out when I was 11 yrs old. Loved that show. Karen Valentine looks a lot like Laura San Giacomo from the show Just Shoot Me…no?
Jennatjugglinglife says
May 20, 2010 at 10:18 amOh how I loved Room 222. I’d forgotten all about it.
Also, jealous that Another Manic Mommy and BOSSY got together and I wasn’t there.
mia says
May 20, 2010 at 10:43 amI swear to God woman.. at least HALF your shots of this tour you are always in a black tank with that green necklace. What’s up w/that? You couldn’t find a mall anywhere? I’m just thinkin’ you’re gonna be pretty tired of that tank and green necklace when you start lookin’ back at all the pictures.
And tell us again.. now that it’s done. What was it all about? And why? I don’t know if there’s any amount of money that would make me want to torture myself like you’ve done all these past few weeks.
Then again.. I CAN drive, and i CAN take pictures of myself if i had one of those little cameras with the LCD screen in front so you can see yourself.. hmmm.. might beat my day job now that I think of it ::laughing::
but glad to see you made the trip safely home 🙂
lora says
May 20, 2010 at 10:52 amYellaphant AND Daddy Scratches? I’m jealous.
But very happy that you are home.
And happy that you wear the same thing every day. I do too.
Meg at the Members Lounge says
May 20, 2010 at 11:05 amSo fun meeting everyone Saturday night! I bet Harrison Ford is missing you….
Little Miss Sunshine State says
May 20, 2010 at 11:18 amYou met Meg!! Someday I will too!
All those Massachusetts people in winter clothes in the middle of May made me remember exactly WHY I left Massachusetts!
foolery says
May 20, 2010 at 12:09 pmRoom 222 — the guy with the Big Orange Hair. Must have been the genesis of my love for Big Orange Hair.
And now, back to your regularly-scheduled BOSSY. 😉
Suburban Kamikaze says
May 20, 2010 at 12:11 pmI don’t know about the rest of you, but this trip has been vicariously exhausting. If I ever set foot in another sadly upholstered Massachusetts hotel room it will be too soon. And please, how many hours behind the wheel? I am not about to drive anyone anywhere for a long while. So don’t even ask. On the other hand, Bossy’s (No) book will always have a special place on my coffee table. I can not put it down.

May 20, 2010 at 12:25 pm1. “Sister mercy, here is is.” [sic] Typos amuse me, esp typos the authos sees eventually and goes “meh, that’s good enough.”
2. On the “the bed won” photo, I see an added feature you got to enjoy in that room: the addition of Even More floral pattern as reflected in the mirror.
3. Madame Photographer in the green dress and leggings, I like your look.

May 20, 2010 at 3:02 pmDear Gah, how could you sleep with all the screaming florals? Ack! Pfbt!
Mo says
May 20, 2010 at 5:57 pmI hope you didn’t get your hair all beefy.
(THE SCREAMING FLORALS!! DEAR LORD!! THE FLORALS!!!)
the Mater says
May 20, 2010 at 6:35 pmYowza! The Berkshires loves floral wallpaper. That is exactly what Jenn removed from her walls last week. Do you get to keep the car?!
Fairly Odd Mother says
May 20, 2010 at 7:43 pmT’was a lovely night and I haven’t stopped telling everyone that Bossy thinks my shoulders are my signature body part.
Thanks for coming out this way!
Cupcake Murphy says
May 20, 2010 at 10:31 pmI love Bossy’s beautiful yarns. I want Bossy to have her own show or something.
L says
May 20, 2010 at 11:01 pmIf I took pictures while driving I would smash up the car.
Audubon Ron says
May 20, 2010 at 11:34 pmHey, are you home yet? You been gone a long time and there is all sorts of stuff going on like, for instance, Harry the Honda told me he’s really tired about hearing about Harrison Ford. These are complications.
Mrs. G. says
May 21, 2010 at 10:11 amI just read that Bossy’s book is second on the New York Time’s (No) Bestseller’s List. Way to work it sister. Welcome home.
David says
May 21, 2010 at 6:12 pmI remember Room 222. Surprisingly I don’t remember the student teacher, I just remember Karen Valentine.
Bridget says
May 21, 2010 at 6:56 pmMs. Bee is VERY bummed out that she could not be part of Bossy’s Boston Council! I took sick and thought I was going to die – so while you were all having a good time I was on the sofa moaning and groaning!
I will look forward to having a glass of wine perhaps with Bossy this summer at Blogher! (or 10!)
erinire says
May 21, 2010 at 11:06 pmThanks for the shout out! I had a really great time – hope you like the footage! I think you look (and sound!) amazing.
Erin!
The Know it All says
May 22, 2010 at 9:39 pmI remember “Bernie” and his big hair! Glad you’re back safe and beefed up…

Suniverse says
May 23, 2010 at 4:48 pmOh, Bossy! I loved Room 222. Real high school was such a bitter disappointment after watching that show.
Well Read Hostess says
May 23, 2010 at 5:47 pmWelcome home, BOSSY.
It must have been really exciting and fun not to have written a book and not go on a book tour, but also tiring. Nice to have you back.
Babybloomr says
May 25, 2010 at 11:37 amYOU MET THE MATER! YOU MET THE MATER! *skipping around the room*
Lucky, lucky Bossy.
