The Life of Bon: Monkeys. Cocoa. Girls. You get the idea.

Monkeys. Cocoa. Girls. You get the idea.

Rumor has it I've got a handful of new folks reading around here.  And by rumor, I mean my stat page.  But you know, it's all the same.  Welcome and aloha and bienvenidos!  Every time I get a spurt of new readers I feel like I have to impress the pants off my guests.

Tap dance!
Hand stand!
I can touch my nose with my tongue!

Impressed yet?  Thought so.

The past week has been absolutely terrifying for me on account of every time I go out to my car I forget the fact that there is a huge stuffed monkey in the back seat.  You see, Hubs won this monkey at an amusement park a few months ago.  Last week, I decided to take it up to school in case any sixteen year olds needed a cuddle buddy during our read a thon.  (More on that later, but, BOY was it a party!)  I'm too lazy to take him out of the back seat, and so consequentially I have been having mini panic attacks every time I go out to my car and think there's a hairy man in the back seat.



Another point of interest.  THIS.


I'm going crazy with the flavored hot chocolates.  I can't help myself.  Every time I go to the store I pick up another.  CAN'T.  STOP. BUYING. HOT. COCOA.

Also, I feel like a pervert every time I say the word cocoa because growing up that was always the word my family used for a man's private parts.  Don't ask, people.  Don't ask.  Or do.  Maybe I'll write a post on it some time.

Oh, do you know what's awesome?  When it's Monday night and tomorrow is Friday.  Let your minds wrestle with that for a minute, will you?!?  That's what happens when you only have two days of school due to Thanksgiving break.  I wonder if I could convince Jordan School District that a two day work week and a five day weekend is actually a much more effective way of running  high school.  Wuddya think?!?

Alright, enough of these shenanigans!  It's time to get to bigger and better things in this post and those bigger and better things include four chicas that I am quite fond of.  Except for they're not exactly bigger.  They're all skinny minis.  Just better.  Send them some Thanksgiving love today- hey they already spoiled you by giving you free crapola in the giveaway... it's the least you could do!

But I'm not crazy ;) I'd love for you to pop over for a cuppa joe on my blog, not that my blog serves coffee or anything, so bring one with you. And come say hi!

I love drinking more coffee than I should and laughing at inappropriate times. I think we should be friends.

  3. That monkey would terrify me. I mean, it only halfway looks like a monkey anyway. Like I said, terrifying.

    Peppermint hot chocolate is my favorite! Just so you know, I may never be able to use the word cocoa without giggling a little inside now.

  5. Peppermint cocoa is my favorite. But that might burn if you are not defining it properly. Just something to think about.

  6. I sure am happy that this blog exists because you just crack me up on every post. Though, truly, the cocoa thing has me puzzled.. just imagine: you've potentially got hundreds of ladies spinning the wheels in their heads to try and figure out how man parts relate to the world cocoa. A true talent.

  11. Newish reader here and I must say, I'm very impressed : ) Isn't it funny how family discussions from childhood can still have an impact today? My dad's in the gynecology business...way too many childhood scarring stories to go into there.

  12. I'm one of the new readers and I absolutely love coming here to read your blog! It's made today's early morning so much better..!

    That monkey looks terrifying as well, I think that would override my laziness and I'd have to take it out of the car!

    An interesting discussion is worth comment. I think that you should write more on this topic, it might not be a taboo subject but generally people are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
