About

The name “You’re the Boss, Brandice” comes from the last communication I received from Columbia House. It’s what was written on the outside of the envelope that contained their last attempt to reel me back in. 

I blogged under this name before, when my children were little. In 2014, I tried to get my “friend” Jaimee to brainstorm different blog names with me. In exasperated text tone, she yelled, “I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU DON’T USE ‘YOU’RE THE BOSS, BRANDICE!’” Now she tells me to talk to ChatGPT because she doesn’t care about the planet.
