Okay, well, your eye doesn't look swollen to me. I would have to say it could be make-up, plus that could be the reason you're smiling. I usually don't smile after getting a shiner. My other guess would be that you're in a grocery store? Just cuz there're boxes of envelopes behind you, and normally you don't find that in a backyard, or your home, or the mall, or the airport....
This is my detective work at it's greatest!

(p.s. I really hope I'm right, I hope you don't have a black eye, you really don't need one with all the other pains you've been dealing with.)

i too am going with poor make-up, however, i think it happened at the mall with one of those floozies who always either spray perfume on you before asking to do your make-up. you know those ladies that look like the women in EVERY robert palmer video (ie: simply irresistible, addicted to love etc...). bimbos!
did you tell them that they did a 'bang-up job'?

Bonnie, I have no idea. But I would say a baseball in a backyard in Arizona. Hope I'm right! Hope it gets better soon.

Bonnie said...

No one is right yet. Keep guessing.

Lynne's Somewhat Invented Life said...

This is why Bonnie is smiling:

Because she has no flippin' wrinkles. For crying out loud!

This is what caused the black eye:

She was putting on her make-up and stuck the mascara in her eye. She stumbled around, saying, "ow, ow, ow!" And she pushed the CD/tape player off the dresser where it landed on a baseball, which rolled under the bed, hitting the luggage that had dust bunnies all over it and when the dust bunnies became air born she sneezed and said, "I need a Coke, darn it," and she wandered out into traffic, dazed and disoriented, slipped on a banana peel, fell down an open man hole and got hit in the eye with the tale of a sewer alligator that someone got as a pet and set free years and years ago. In fact the alligator was probably a pet of one of Bonnie's students.

Where she was when it happened:

Well, she grabbed the alligator by his snout and took him to the airport to ship him to Florida where he could be with his own kind but mistakenly took him to Arizona. She set him in the grandkid's backyard to slide down the playground equipment while she and her Camille went shopping at the mall. On the way home they passed the park and a stray baseball hit her in the eye. Again. When she returned to Salt Lake City Camille called and said, "This alligator you brought is eating us out of house and home." So Bonnie went to the grocery store and bought vittles and sent them by UPS to Arizona and everyone lived happily ever after.

I'll be a watchin' fer my gift check to McDonalds. Now don't you go a sendin' it to Camille for that there hungry alligator, ya hear.

Bonnie said...

Thanks for the laugh, Lynne. I need a dose of you every day.

TeamGornold said...

lynne, that is just ridiculous!!! ha ha!!
i am now going with a banana peel in the grocery store. you've been watching too many cartoons, stop acting like them bozos.
love shirt!
just kidding lynne, you are not ridiculous, nor is your answer! :)

Bonnie said...

Nick, my eye really is swollen and it hurts to touch my eyebrow, but now I am getting swollen and a little black under my eye. I still think is really funny how it happened. I wish I could have seen it happen.

Sorry, Tricia, that was a good guess, but it is wrong, so keep trying to all of you.

Bonnie said...

Correction: It is now really black about an inch under my eye. My glasses can't camouflage it any more.

Nickie said...

Okay, you need to narrow down your answers, just do 3 guesses in each catagory. I'm confused now, when did an alligator enter the runnings? Oh, wait, that's just Lynne...I wonder if that happened to her one time and she was just hoping she wasn't the only one.
Sorry that I was wrong, I was really hoping you didn't have a black eye for realsies.
If you wish you could have seen it, I hope it involves a banana peel, but I could luggage being pretty funny too.
Luggage, at home in Salt Lake. That is my official guess #2
Loves!

Bonnie said...

Sorry, Nick, keep trying. I am making gyoza (pot stickers) and chicken curry with homemade lemon ice cream for dessert. My cousin Liz is coming to watch America's Got Talent results and a tape of last night's show. (I have another TV addiction.) Anyone else want to come for supper?

HOLY SHMOLY!! The comments here are longer than my entire blog!! Well, I'm going to throw out a guess in order to win the contest - "I hope I win the contest!!" (Dudley) - ANYWAY... my guess is the Coke Machine in the Airport. The description of the machine as "Vicious" and the quote about change on the previous post make me think the Coke machine is indeed to blame for this travesty!! Loves to Bonnie and the "fan club"

Cherilee said...

Okay, I will guess again. How about a piece of luggage in an airport. Oh wait did somebody already guess that? How about a cd/tape player at home in Salt Lake. Ok that ought to do it.

Camille said...

Tanner guesses a baseball in a park OR a banana peel in a grocery store.

Camille said...

I was going to say a cd/tape player in home in SL, but someone already guessed it. But that's still my guess.

Bonnie said...

Cherilee and Camille have the correct answer.
I was smiling because I just went up to someone stalking shelves in Harmons and asked them to take my picture and I thought the whole thing was so funny. I had tried not smiling in some of the shots but I looked like I was taking a police mug shot in them.

bebe said...

HEY!!
What's with a Junior High grammar teacher referring to someone "stalking" shelves?!? Having been a "Night STOCKER", we resented the term "stalker". ANYWAY, Imagine Jen telling her parents she was dating a Night Stalker/Stocker.

Cherilee said...

Yeah! Bonnie I'm so excited. I shouted out yipee so loud that my family came running. I will pick Subways or Wendy's. This is one of the funnest things I have ever done.
