Miz Lahon in Ponderland

I finally went to see Alice in Wonderland tonight with Courtney and... I LOVED IT!!! The special effects and costumes were amazing and the fact that Alice did what made her happy instead of what was "popular" or "advised" was really refreshing. My favorite quote was "You're absolutely bonkers, but all the best people are" because that truly describes my life. Everyone in my life has some quirk or unique trait about them that helps me love and appreciate them!

After we went to the movies we stopped over at 123 to pay a visit to some of my favorite gentlemen, but we weren't there long before we had enough and decided to leave. Sometimes I question whether or not I go to Florida Gulf Coast High School or University? People grow and learn over time but sometimes I wonder if some people will ever learn. I suppose it's just easier to brush it off, be the best person you can be and hope for a better tomorrow! Hakuna Matata!

Work was great today, no legitimate complaints--a few funny stories, but that's about it. Working 8-9hr shifts is a lot easier when you enjoy the people you work with and are making a decent amount of money, hallelujah! I'm so glad to be at Best Buy and for the future opportunities I might have!

Anyhow, that's all news that is news!

Back to Reality... Almost!

Spring Training
Boston Red Sox vs. Minnesota Twins-March 4

Top of the fourth

Love

Spring Training is officially underway and I couldn't be happier!

'Twas back to work for me today-No real complaints, I love my job and everyone I work with! Working in Naples is taking a toll on my car but it's worth the drive AND most importantly, I have off the next three Mondays which means...
3/8-Red Sox vs. Cardinals
3/15-Red Sox vs. Orioles
3/22-Red Sox vs. Rays
Love Love Love!
Don't get me wrong, I love my major, BUT I'm afraid that there is no job more suiting for me than a profession in the baseball industry. I have also decided that upon graduation I will be moving back up north. I love Florida but I have lived here for 7 years now and I'm ready to start a new chapter in a new setting a little closer to family.

Off to lullaby land, up bright and early for yet another fabulous day at Best Buy!

Swipper, NO Swipping!

*TFLN THURSDAY*
*credit: Chrissy Martin*

As you can see above is a picture of me when I was 4 years old. This brings me to my TFLN topic of the day...

(304): I'd like to know where Dora the Explorer's parents are when she goes out on all these crazy ass adventures!

I thought this was a rather interesting TFLN because it brings up a very valid point that I've never thought about. My mom wouldn't even let me hop out of the cart at the grocery store, much less go over an alligator infested river on a rickety ass bridge, past a garden of angry giants to find a candy mountain-all while a fox named Swipper is trying to rob me! Nope, definitely not. I was not to go near any bodies of water without my life jacket, the only gardening I was allowed to do with with grandma (not some purple and pink monkey named boots), and the golden rule of childhood was imprinted into my brain... Never take candy from strangers, but for some reason it's okay to take candy from a mountain? Hmm. Okay, Dora.

Just some food for thought for all of your hungry minds! :)

Until we meet again,
EGM

First and Foremost

Hello world!

I'd like to start off my first blog with...
THREE CHEERS FOR THE COMMENCEMENT OF SPRING TRAINING :) YIPEE-GO SOX!

Next, a big thanks to Christleen Martin for encouraging me to make a blog. Not only am I in touch with myself, but I also feel like Rev. Run at the end of Run's House when he sits in the bathtub and blogs about his day. ("Recapping prayerfully" according to Courtney Knox.)

Spring Break Oh-10 is drawing to a close and it's back to the daily grind on Friday. Thankfully, I got some much needed R&R in Bradenton with Courtney and her family (my home away from home). We're heading back to the Fort tomorrow just in time to make it to the Sox game tomorrow, which will be a perfect ending to yet another successful spring break!

Exciting news, booked my flight home today for my mom's wedding-22 days and counting! I'm so excited for the big day and I'm really excited to see my family! I only get to go home for 3 days but I'm just excited to escape this Fort Myers place for a while! I love Florida but after having been here for 7 years, I'm ready for a change of scenery!

Also, big kudos to my best friend Courtney for following her dreams and becoming a Traveling Leadership Consultant for Zeta Tau Alpha! I'm going to miss her so much but I can't wait to see all of the amazing things she is going to do for our sisters and the world :)

Lullaby Land here I come,
Goodnight World!
