The Life of Bon: NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!

NEWS! NEWS! NEWS!



NEWS: Today is April 18.  We are six weeks away from the end of the school year.  This is usually the time of year when everyone- sophomore, senior, and teacher alike- is plagued with a bad case of senioritis.  We ready to be done, let's just say.  I save my favorite books for the end of the year to really power me through.  If I've got Great Gatsby to look forward to every day I can convince myself to make it until June.

IN OTHER NEWS:   Speaking of Great Gatsby, today we read my favorite part of the whole book.  (Spoiler alert!) ( And don't forget book club on April 25 on Gatsby!).  We read the scene where they're in the hotel and Gatsby and Tom are fighting over Daisy and Gatsby says straight out, "She doesn't love you!"  The line comes so unexpectedly and forcefully, my fifth period class let out an audible gasp.  Book magic, my friends.

IN OTHER NEWS:  I am watching the last Jazz game of the regular season.  If they win tonight and the Lakers lose than Jazz will go to the playoffs.  If Lakers win, Jazz are out.  I kind of really hate the Jazz for leaving it to the very last game of the season like this.  Jazz, why you gotta play it so close?  I am telling myself over and over not to hope for playoffs, yet somehow I am desperately hoping for playoffs.



IN OTHER NEWS: Being a sports fan is a tough gig, ain't it?  Unless you are a Lakers fan or a Yankees fan, in which case being a sports fan is pretty much easy street.

IN OTHER NEWS:  There's a nasty cold front going through Utah.  I had to break out the tights that I thought I had put away for good.  Come on, Utah, can you get with the program already?  We're ready for Spring!

IN OTHER NEWS: I sometimes hear my students saying the funniest things.  For example today I heard a kid whispering to another, "Dude. Do you want to see a fight today?  12:20 in the 1800 hall."  All discreet like like he was a member of the mafia. I know it's ridiculous, but don't you just kind of have to love it?

IN OTHER NEWS:  Some people on the internet are complaining about my blog because I put a comma in the wrong place.  This is a legitimate complaint.  Ah, it's a weird blogging world we live in, ain't it?

IN OTHER NEWS:  I haven't been to the gym since last week . And you know what?  I don't plan on going tonight!  I go on these spurts with working out.  I'll go three or four weeks super consistently and then two lazy weeks doing nothing and then pick it up consistently again.  I mean, that's totally the best way to stay healthy, right?  You health nuts out there got some suggestions for a girl who works full time and would rather die than drag herself to the gym at night?

IN OTHER NEWS:  Twice this week I have dreamed I was pregnant and growing myself a cute little baby bump.  I woke up wishing it were true for a brief moment.  Could this be the beginning of baby hunger?


IN OTHER NEWS:  The Jazz are now down by 14.  Which means I'm going to just turn off the TV and go to the gym because this is seriously painful.  According to the announcers, "Not much of a playoff push."  Amen.

Peace loves.


P.S.  You can find me on twitter, facebook, or Instagram (@thelifeofbon), oh my!

  3. I understand you have a gym membership but I honestly love working out at home. Some days when you don't feel like going, I suggest doing something active at home! :) There are tons of pinterest or youtube workouts that are killer. Or have a dance party, that always works too ;) Good thing you already have a hot little body!

  7. Dream about a baby. That's what made me want to have my own kid! Never cared for other people's children, but in my dream I could tell how much I really loved that baby girl. And then I had a baby girl, but its a fifty fifty chance so it's not like I dreamt winning lotto numbers, ya know?

    Yay for the end of the school year! Six weeks is always when it hits, isn't it?

  12. My advice for getting to the gym more: record the game your watching and every time you feel lazy, turn it on. Good Luck!

  13. I've been having baby dreams too... and I'm not even ready! Or consciously aware of it... Also, being a sports fan IS hard. I dig the redskins and they never win... it's like "well, you lost by less this time!"

  16. I've heard that if you are dreaming about being pregnant it might be because you are pregnant. I don't remember where I heard that though so who knows if that source is reliable.

  17. That baby would give anyone baby fever - SO cute! I have found that I consistently work out if I do it at home (in front of the tv). Not workout DVD's, but just stuff on my own while watching my shows.

  18. I just had my baby a little over a month ago and now it seems like EVERYONE is catching baby fever or getting pregnant. More people need to jump in the game as far as I'm concerned. It's great!

  19. i know you're eager for spring, but for us texans... it's practically summer time down here. and i ain't ready for that shit yet. i love those cold fronts!

  20. Try doing Crossfit type workouts at home. Sometimes they're as quick as 17 minutes, and you're sweating like it's nobody's business when you're done. Love me some Crossfit.com. If the workouts don't make sense there are video tutorials provided.
    In other news... Sounds like the start of baby fever! The exact same thing happened to me. I had a dream I was preggo, and two months later that dream came to fruition. :)

  21. I dream about being pregnant.
    I dream about having kids.
    I dream about breastfeeding.

    Like, I have frequent and vivid dreams about all three situations.

    I'm pretty sure abstinence is the only reason I'm not pregnant. My boyfriend can just look at me sometimes, and my uterus jumps in response, demanding a baby.

  22. I'm totally with you on the workout thing. My last post was about this very thing. I've decided it's strictly the weathers' fault...Utah's cold front is crampin' my workout style!

  23. ah...baby hunger is a serious thing...that's how I ended up with 4!!

    okay..where in the world do you go to find out what bad things people say about your blog?? I seriously wonder what they are saying about me...or maybe I am still too small of a blog.

  28. I am seriously seeing you EVERYWHERE! :) That is said with love and so I had to hop on over and visit your cute blog! I've been a follower for awhile but got lost in bloggy world and so the universe was able to see that and brought me back to your blog ;) haha, sorry for my dorky-ness babble! Anywho, I just read your post over at The Shine Project :) OMGee, you are too hilarious!! I was laughing through all those captions that go with all those pics!

    And this post was great, I loved reading all your "in other news" :) So I have to admit, I seriously think bloggy world is full of EVERYONE having a baby or being pregnant!! It's hard not to get a case of baby hunger, I for sure am trying to keep mine under control since I already have 3 munchkins!! But I have to say if you had a baby, it would be soooo cute!!

    xo,
