I was born on a bright sunny morning in June of 1986 in the small town of Pric-
Oh, that wasn't the "about" information that you wanted to know about me? You want more random, useless information?
Umm.... Ok. But I'm telling you right now, straight up front, I don't know how to do this. But I'll try. Just for you.
Let's see... useless info.... um...I bite my fingernails.
There you go. Is that good enough? You want more?
Um, okay... I like wearing high heels because they look sexy, but they hurt my feet and make me walk funny.
More?
Okay...
My name is Bonnie. And I am under 50. Just thought I'd throw that out because anytime I introduce myself to someone they say "Oh, my aunt's name is Bonnie" or "my great granny's name is Bonnie". One time I dated a boy and both of his grandparents were named Bonnie. Talk about an outdated name!
I'm running out of things to talk about, which is weird because I love to talk. That's part of the reason why I started this blog- I love to talk, I love to write, and I love to tell stories. This blog combines all three of them. While not posting on this blog I spend a lot of time with seventeen year olds, trying to help them understand where commas go and the difference between your and you're. I am not too good at being a wife, a gig that is new to me this past year, but I try my best to cook stellar meals, have a spotless house, and look stunningly beautiful without sweating a drop. I am a huge Utah Jazz fan, I crave chocolate covered strawberries daily, and am a diet coke addict (but then again, who isn't these days?!). Above all I believe that life should be enjoyed, relationships should be cherished, and hey, this growing up thing we're doing- it should be fun!

Oh my gosh you are so adorable!!! I'm a June baby too! And a new follower!! See ya around, chica!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie! Thanks for your sweet comments on my blog! I look forward to following yours!
ReplyDeleteHi Bonnie!! (love the name btw! outdated or not!) Thank you for your sweet comment! I'm happy you found me so I could find your blog! xx
ReplyDeleteHey Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping by my blog today. Definitely write your own Things I Don't Understand post, and make sure to let me know when you do. I'd love to read it.
Maybe I should do a link-up. It seems there are lots of things we bloggers don't understand. ;)

Hey Bonnie, it's Bonnie (As in Heather Peterson - now Dayton's - little sister from Price). I know Megan (Here's to you, Mrs Robinson) from BYU, and so I randomly saw your post on her blog today. I think our name is great even if the only other people that have it are 80 years old. :)
ReplyDeleteI actually do know another young Bonnie, she's early 30's. :)
DeleteYour About Me is too darling :) Just got done reading your handicapped parking post and didn't want to clutter it up with yet ANOTHER comment! Geesh people took that FAR too seriously. I for one appreciate your humor :) Keep it up dear!

I'm so glad you found me, I a follower now and I'll be reading up when I can. And...since your birthday is in June..happy brithday/maybe belated birthday!! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for following me, you seem pretty great yourself! Kudos on teaching high schoolers... I can barely keep my little ones in check sometimes. I'll be following you!
ReplyDeleteYour about me section kills me! I love to wear heels too but they also destroy my feet and cause me to walk awkwardly LOL. I also had to laugh because when you commented on my blog post I mentioned that my mother-in-law's name is Bonnie. But if it makes you feel at all better, I also know a Bonnie just a couple few years older than me and I'm only 25...so you're not alone in the world of young Bonnie's! Haha.
ReplyDeleteI hate to tell you this, but my grandmas name is Bonnie! But, I love her dearly, and you are just so dang cute and you totally make the name!! I absolutely love your blog! I will definitely be following along now! Thanks for the sweet comment on mine! :)

Hi Bonnie,
ReplyDeleteI'm also an English teacher to grammar-challenged pre-teens. Try doing this job in a rural location such as Newfoundland, Canada and you'll discover how fun the job actually can be. My personal favourite is how students here believe "I goes to the store" is proper written English. I also taught in Brixton, UK, where I had one 16-year-old boy submit a paper titled "Me and me bruvver". It was quite amusing (and also soul crushing).
I look forward to following your blog!
