How is it that you are all getting married, going sailing, returning from Girl’s Weekend, cheering in football stadiums, holding newborns, staying in cabins, enjoying all-you-can-eat mussels, booking gigs, baking cupcakes, sitting in open-air festivals, playing drums, running marathons, flirting with Jay Mohr, breaking fast, riding bikes, sipping heart-shaped latte, and snapping rainbows — while all Bossy managed this weekend was a Netflix movie and a batch of edamame?
Bossy needs more boring friends.

September 20, 2010 at 12:07 pmI can fill that boring slot for ya! I did help a friend get ready to sell her house and move, by doing yard work and cleaning. At least the NetFlick had a plot, right?

Cecelia Winesap says
September 20, 2010 at 12:30 pmI, too, am amazed at the social universe that is Facebook. Although, I’m not sure all those people are telling the truth in their status updates. I could say that “I am looking at David Cassidy right now.” And it would be true, cause I’m staring at his picture on my wall. But I’m not REALLY looking at David Cassidy.
Who knows.
MidLifeMama says
September 20, 2010 at 12:32 pmOh, I know. My weekend was SO FULL of things like vacuuming and taking my kid to buy a Superman toy and buying a new bathmat. Gaze upon its awesomeness.

September 20, 2010 at 12:41 pmBe like everyone else and post your own faux-experiences to make everyone jealous!
“Bossy’s Husband and I had martinis on the deck while getting synchronized massages. Then played Scrabble with no vowels, just for the challenge.”
WebSavvyMom says
September 20, 2010 at 12:44 pm–>I only post the semi-interesting things as my facebook status, the really boring stuff goes on twitter.
Lori says
September 20, 2010 at 1:48 pmEdamames sound exciting to me. If you haven’t already counted me among your boring friends, you probably should. I am certain it will make you feel much better about your life! {Unless, of course, standing in the returns line at Target really does it for you – then watch out}
Judy says
September 20, 2010 at 1:48 pmDo not feel bad, Bossy. It was a fairly interesting weekend for some people, I am sure, but not everyone is telling the truth. I believe that Cecelia is correct that many people probably embellish their weekend activities. Watching Netflix movies and unwinding is my idea of the perfect weekend!
Franca Bollo says
September 20, 2010 at 2:23 pmYou just need fewer friends.
Angela says
September 20, 2010 at 2:26 pmI’d say something interesting, but I can’t. I’m too boring. And sleep deprived. (Baby has an ear infection – it was a REALLY fun weekend. I was up all night, except instead of drinking wine and partying it up, I was begging and pleading for the screaming to end.)
Chrissy says
September 20, 2010 at 3:38 pmI just gave up facebook sort of. If was making me feel all nervy inside and agree with Judy and Cecelia & Z. If it was all so fascinating, how do they have the time to post? I know someone who facebooked updates during their own wedding. Eff that.

September 20, 2010 at 3:42 pmI’m boring…you just don’t see my posts, because…well, you know…boring!! : )
Kirsty says
September 20, 2010 at 4:04 pmI’m so boring I’m practically a troglodyte – glorious weather here in the south of France and all I managed to do was buy some tomatoes, watch cr*p on TV and sleep during the day. I feel like I haven’t seen daylight since, oh, forever…
dgm says
September 20, 2010 at 5:31 pmCome on, people! Everyone’s life can be a little interesting if you know where to look. It’s a half-empty/half-full kind of thing.
KathyB says
September 20, 2010 at 5:35 pmNew laptop. All the excitement I can handle!!!
A little down time is a wonderful thing.
runnergirl says
September 20, 2010 at 6:37 pmBossy, I’m usually with you on the boring life, but this weekend was so much fun, I did post a few updates, but not during the excitement, I post when it’s over and I’m back to my mundane world.
Sherri says
September 20, 2010 at 7:28 pmThank you Bossy for making me feel normal!!
Doug says
September 20, 2010 at 8:17 pmI said approximately the same thing when you were on the road and I was home, toiling in the vineyard.
It’s all ebb and flow, y’know?
JaneK says
September 20, 2010 at 10:25 pmWell, Bossy, I must say it seems you have a “not too boring” life even if the events are boring b/c you have a great sense of humor. But, yes, I agree with you………how is it all these people had these exciting weekends and I was figuring out how to pass the time with my 3 year old b/c I was too stinkin’ tired to do much
Plus….I’m so boring I don’t even HAVE a facebook page……let’s raise a glass to boring!
Little Miss Sunshine State says
September 20, 2010 at 10:31 pmHEY! That’s my Sorority Girl pointing at the dinosaur!
My vacation got even better. We went down to Key West and it was Bike Week and we went on a Sunset Sail Booze Cruise!
Ummmm. sorry, was I bragging?
Wombat Central says
September 20, 2010 at 11:32 pmSometimes less is more, right? Think of the times you do cool stuff and don’t post it on FB. You’re just taking the classy route.
BTW, I have met David Cassidy, but it was waaaay before the invention of FB. Okay, now I feel really old. Gonna go spend some quality time with Netflix. {sigh}
bossy's friend amy says
September 21, 2010 at 7:40 ami’m thinking that most of the people that i know (in the above pictures) don’t have children or grown children – which makes ones life a lot more carefree and flexible.
Yellaphant says
September 21, 2010 at 10:06 amWoo there I am a’sailing away! And, bossy’s friend amy, you are correct about the children. Was it the bottle of champagne in our hands and case of beer in the boat’s cooler at 12 in the afternoon that gave that away?
Dharmamama says
September 21, 2010 at 5:25 pmI believe my friends’ posts, because they never post anything outlandish – it’s stuff like concerts and playing drums and sailing and surfing and dinners – real life stuff, with kids, and usually pictures. Who is this that posts fake updates? What an odd concept.
Sandra says
September 21, 2010 at 11:21 pmI’m boring. Last weekend I did practice calculations for an exam. See. Nothing fun about me.
GrandeMocha says
September 22, 2010 at 12:23 pmI have kittens with fungus. I posted that on fb.
Grace says
September 23, 2010 at 3:41 pmBoring is good but then your facebook would be empty and no reason to check it! LOL
Boring is good though, my religious grandma use to tell me…”Don’t pray for excitement! Hanging off a cliff is excitement but you don’t need it.”
mo b. says
September 23, 2010 at 7:33 pmBossy, you just have to put a spin on it I think…We were looking for a new mattress on saturday. I could have posted: “rolling around on mattress while strangers watch”
