Welcome Back Bossy

Hello! And welcome (back) to I Am Bossy. It’s been 1,087 days since Bossy last posted — and although Bossy never thought about her time away from writing as gone fishing, it seems others do not agree:

We all know Bossy hates change as much as discovering her post images now need to be 680 pixels x the side of Burj Khalifa, but a lot has happened in the three years since her esteemed council has gathered. 

Bossy, who had been renting a one-bedroom view in a doorman-building on a running path adjacent to a river, instead decided to purchase a small sliver of brick with responsibilities:

In addition, Bossy’s job shifted. She is now working full-time for an institutional investment firm. Bossy has learned so much about bottom-up, value-oriented, quantitative global equities, she could write a book!

But luckily Bossy’s lack of financial acumen doesn’t impact her job, which is within the firm’s marketing department. Because Bossy has over four decades of experience in markets!

Bossy’s kids have also undergone a lot of changes since the last time Bossy posted. Bossy’s son is now a Justice on the Supreme Court — and Bossy’s daughter is a junior at George Washington University in the heart of D.C., where she majors in hiding from the presidential motorcade.

And of course, Bossy’s beloved Barack O’Boyfriend, who finished up his glorious second term with integrity and grace before walking hand in hand with his beautiful wife Michelle toward their civilian life — was replaced with Binge Eating Required.

So what else has Bossy been doing to pass the time? Redesigning this blog! It’s been 26,000 hours of, “please use this yellow, not that yellow,” and “can you edge the font toward the thumbnail photo never mind can you walk it back?” For her endless, cheery patience and superhero technological know-how, Bossy ultimately has her old friend Heather to thank.

Although the paint is still wet and a few rooms remain unfinished, let’s take a tour! You can sign up to receive email notices of new Bossy posts in the upper-right corner, where you can also click links to follow Bossy’s twitter account, instagram photos, facebook page, and that there ignored pinterest thingie. Bossy is treating this relaunch as an old-school blogger experiment, and as such is establishing an OG blogroll of sorts in the navigation bar. Bossy has over a hundred bloggers interested in joining Bossy in their own reinvention. Stay tuned.

Bossy has also been passing the time as a continued participant of an online dating site — or as Bossy refers to it: the discard pile. As a longstanding member, Bossy has befriended many of the men she has dated and even a few she hasn’t — and it’s always heartwarming to see when occasionally, like an orphanage, or a dog pound, someone gets adopted into their forever home. 

So that just about brings things up to date! Please leave a comment and tell Bossy what you have been up to these last few years. With the Bossy reunion out of the way, it’s time to have some fun!

  10. Bossy-I’ve missed you and glad to see you are back! I’ve just been chilling out, changing jobs and moving houses like you.

  11. BOSSY IS BACK!!
    I have spent the past 3 years being a Stay-At-Home Mom with no kids at home!
    My left shoulder has spent the past 2 years developing a torn rotator cuff, gigantor bone spur, subacromial nerve compression and bursitis..
    On Dec 18 I’ll be having a bunch of these non-essential shoulder parts removed. My hospital admission papers actually say REMOVAL OF SHOULDER PARTS.
    Onward and upward to 4 months of recovery and not being able to pull up my own pants. Or wear a bra. Or do decent jumping jacks.

    BOSSY IS BACK ?

    • Also: Little Miss Sunshine State HAS NOT become Little Miss Sinshine State, but that’s actually pretty funny

  26. Yay!!! You’ve been sorely missed, lady.

    And now, as with every time I read a post of yours, I wish I’d have talked about myself in the third all this time. Dammit.

  27. Eek! I knew I kept you on my reader list for a reason, even though it’s been 1,087 days!
    My first thought when I saw this post pop up was, ugh she got hacked and it’s spam. But no, no it wasn’t!
    I’m so glad you’re back!!

  30. Well rehi, sugar!

    I’ve been trying to keep my head above water, resisting homicide, and generally up to nothing in particular.

    Shade and Sweetwater,

  31. I spent the last three years checking my shortcut to your blog and attempting to fulfill my Bossy needs by Instagramstalking. But because it’s just not the same, I have also spent the last few years crying quietly into my pillow.
    In all honesty though, I have been single-parenting, working working working, and bettering myself by also schooling, finally getting a divorce (after 11 years of separation), randomly dating weirdos and doing my best to NOT cook….(while Instagram stalking Bossy).

  35. “Barack O’Boyfriend… was replaced with Binge Eating Required” was all I needed to read but I will happily stay for the rest.

    Welcome back Notorious B! xo

  36. I’m going to kick it OG and comment on the actual post.
    Glad to have you back. Though we all interact elsewhere now, I do miss writing posts and reading posts and having those conversations. I’ve been itching to write regularly again, which is a good sign.
    I remember having breakfast with you at Mom 2 and talking about this very thing. You are a lovely human being, and if I lived anywhere near you I would love to run with you.
    So many words! It feels good. ?

  39. Glad to see you back. The last few years have been interesting ( that is the politest word I can think of) Many boss changes in my work, but I think we have a good one now!

  44. I am in awe of your photochop I mean shop skills! I need to take lessons from you! I also apparently need to get to blogging! I said I would do this thing! Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back!

  47. Hmmm so other than missing your lovely Blogs??? I have witnessed a 4 yr old boy murdered in my backyard by his father, I now am disabled. I lost both of my in-laws and more family members then I can count on 3 hands. I married one of my best friends 2yrs ago. I put him and our two thru a lot of stress dealing with my ptsd, anxiety and depression. My unwavering faith has allowed me to continue to move forward and except whom I am now. I’m a survivor, a mother, a wife and a better woman today then I’ve been in the last almost 4 yrs. I’m blessed by the best so I continue to smile???????? I wrote all that without crying ??????

  53. See, this is why I NEVER delete blogs from my feed. There is hope that one day they will come back. Welcome back, Bossy!

  56. Bossssseeeeeeeeeeee!!!!! You “Make(d) My Day.” Isn’t that something some old coot actor said in some film back when Bossy was last publishing? I don’t know, who can remember such things with the ever increasing fog of pre-geriatric mid life living? All I know is that I love you with all capital letters and I’m super excited that you are back in action/back in the saddle/in front of my face with all your good stuff again. xoxo

  59. …just realized forgot the update…I moved from Mississippi to Galena, IL. Oh my lambs, big ole freakin story, but only have time to tell the mini-series version.
    Little Woman: I want a divorce.
    LW: I want to move
    LW: This is going to get painful
    LW: I HATE Mississipii
    Me: Just give her day and she will forget all about
    Next, big freaking freeway sign in the yard. FORSALE
    That’s kind of how I got hear. I don’t know squat about BELOW. Like 30 below in the winter.
    But, L’s every minute of it. Was a good move…

  63. Well done! Wrote my first post today. Like riding a bike. And how does that work anyway? Like a millions years can go by and I can get on a bike and away I go. That shouldn’t happen.

    Don’t know how this is going to work but hey, it’s an adventure.

  65. Welcome back! I haven’t changed a bit or a thing… I nothing but grow older by the minute. Doesn’t seem like my life has been nearly as boring as that sounds, but there it is. I’m glad I didn’t delete you from my Feedly. .

  68. I would periodically check to see if there was anything from I am Bossy. Im so exited because you are back. . So glad. Happy to hear things are going your way. Cute dog but I miss reading about Stella. She is going to be a touch act to follow. Your kids are both gorgeous. Grown up and I’m sure you are very proud. I would be. Cant wait to be able to read my favorite blogger again.
