The Life of Bon: Today, October 7, 2014, was a Perfect Day

Today, October 7, 2014, was a Perfect Day

Today was such a beautiful day here in Utah.  In fact, if I had to choose a prettiest day of the year award, I would have chosen today.  The weather was mid seventies, no wind, clear blue skies and fiery red leaves.  Is it any wonder everyone is in love with fall?

I spent the majority of the day in a training for school.  It was supposed to end at 3:30 and then by some kind of unforseen miracle, they let us go at 2:30.  Don't you love it when something like that happens?  It makes the rest of your day so much better because no matter what the delay is, you're still ahead.  Long line at the grocery store?  No biggie.  I gained an hour today.  Traffic?  Ain't no thang- I should be sitting in a meeting right now!  Extra errand?  No problem- I'm on someone else's time, baby!

When I got home I took Maverick and June for a little walk, and for those 20 minutes everything seemed absolutely right in the world.  Fall will do that to you, you know.  It almost makes me want to start giving away all my money and telling every stranger that I see that I love them.  It's a weird season.  But seriously.  The walk was awesome.  If you live in Utah I recommend you do it tomorrow as the weather is supposed to stay killer through the week.  I'm going on a walk every day this week and you can't stop me!

Also, I never thought this would happen to me, but I'm kind of running out of things to say on my blog.  That's not true, there's lots to say, but only so much that I'm allowed to say on the internet.  So if there's any burning question you ever wanted to ask me or anything you would like me to write about, fire it away in the comments and I'll answer it tomorrow.  Because I know you all sit there wondering about some total blogger-stranger in your free time and all.

And now, giveaway!  These ladies have all pitched in their hard earned cash to give you some extra money for the holidays.  I hope you enter the giveaway and make a couple of new friends because isn't that what blogging's all about?  Giveaway ends week from Wednesday.

  2. It's not a question, but I wanted to tell you your post where you said your experience won't be someone else's experience really helped me make a decision. I've always wanted to be a teacher but I majored in English instead of education because my mom, a teacher, was always miserable from work and discouraged my brother and I from going that route. 10 years later and teaching is still calling to me so after both a bachelors and masters in English I am returning to college at age 28 to get a post-Bach teacher certification. When I made the decision to start applying I was still really unsure because I didn't want to turn bitter from teaching. Then I read your post and I saw its possible to not be a miserable teacher. To have good experiences teaching. To allow yourself to be a positive teacher and welcome those good experiences. So thank you! I'm going back to school in the spring. And then I'll probably be hitting you up for curriculum help ;-)

  4. Oh just keep writing what you always write, Bonnie! Motherhood, marriage, teaching, humor... I love it all :) You're the cutest!

  5. Hi Bonnie! I have been reading your blog for awhile now and have found it very enjoyable! I love how real you are; you have those good and bad days but through them all, you somehow find a way to laugh. I love your sense of humor!

    So, my question for you is: why did you become teacher? What's the story behind it all? Was it one of those things you always wanted to be when you grew up? (Ok, so that's more than one question. Lol) :D

  8. I am so jealous of your weather...although we actually did have a pretty nice day today. Yesterday though it was gloomy and rained majority of the day. I felt really bad for my kids (I coach high school cross country - one of the reasons I love your blog is because I understand so many of your posts about your students) because it started pouring during practice....and then the sun came out after they were done.... lol

  10. Jacquelyn thank you much for telling me this. It makes my day. It is always hard to know on something like the internet how people are perceiving your stories. I worried so much about that post- like people would think I was bragging or stuck up or just totally clueless as to how most people feel. I am so excited for you and the opportunity to teach- I hope that you love it as much as I do. (And if not, there are always other roads!) And definitely hit me up for curriculum help. I'm not a gold mine by any means, but I've got a couple of tricks up my sleeve.

  13. Thank you so much Hannah! Lately I have felt like my blog is lacking on the funny side- I guess I use up all my jokes on my students? I will definitely write on why I went into teaching- such a great idea!

  14. Thank you so much! Wow, two years- you're a trooper!

  15. Oh great questions! I will for sure have to write a little bit more about that!

  16. Where are you at? I also LOVE rainy weather. It is the perfect excuse to not leave the house. The tough thing about nice weather is you feel guilty if you don't go out and enjoy it. Rain and gloom allows you to hide in your home and bake and read and take bubble baths! (Unless of course you have to coach cross country... then the rain just sucks!)

  17. I'm in Ohio :) You have a good point - I love curling up on the couch with a good book and a blanket!! But yes the coaching cross country in the rain sucks :)

  18. I want to testify that my wife is back after a Divorce !!!

    Hello to every one out here, am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me three days ago, My name is Jeffrey Dowling,i live in Texas,USA.and I`m happily married to a lovely and caring wife,with two kids A very big problem occurred in my family seven months ago,between me and my wife so terrible that she took the case to court for a divorce she said that she never wanted to stay with me again,and that she did not love me anymore So she packed out of my house and made me and my children passed through severe pain. I tried all my possible means to get her back,after much begging,but all to no avail and she confirmed it that she has made her decision,and she never wanted to see me again. So on one evening,as i was coming back from work,i met an old friend of mine who asked of my wife So i explained every thing to her,so she told me that the only way i can get my wife back,is to visit a spell caster,because it has really worked for her too So i never believed in spell,but i had no other choice,than to follow her advice. Then she gave me the email address of the spell caster whom she visited.(bravespellcaster@gmail.com}, So the next morning,i sent a mail to the address she gave to me,and the spell caster assured me that i will get my wife back the next day what an amazing statement!! I never believed,so he spoke with me,and told me everything that i need to do. Then the next morning, So surprisingly, my wife who did not call me for the past seven {7}months,gave me a call to inform me that she was coming back So Amazing!! So that was how she came back that same day,with lots of love and joy,and she apologized for her mistake,and for the pain she caused me and my children. Then from that day,our relationship was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, was now stronger than how it were before,by the help of a spell caster . So, i will advice you out there to kindly visit the same website http://bravespellcaster.yolasite.com,if you are in any condition like this,or you have any problem related to “bringing your ex back. So thanks to Dr Brave for bringing back my wife,and brought great joy to my family once again.{bravespellcaster@gmail.com} , Thanks...
