"Didn't you see our first movie? We drive..." An August 2012 TR The new TR is up!!!

You literally CRACK me up!!!! :rotfl2:I wonder how many lurkers you have and how many of them just got really confused by that update! I LOVE It!!! :goodvibes

I can't believe your school called to let you know about sport tryouts while you're on vacation. Is it one of those recorded messages or were they actively trying to recruit you?:cheer2:

We'll be in Disney NEXT MONTH!!! So super exciting!!!

Oh, well thank ya. I try to be funny. I don't think people would want to read stuff like "Next we went to the Haunted Mansion. It was a great ride, blah, blah, blah." I think people would want to read stuff written by someone who sounds like they are on drugs, except I'm not of course. If I was, I wouldn't be writing this because Mum would have killed me.

I think people are just confused by this whole trip report. They probably think I'm a freak. I could care less though.

I think I have a ton of lurkers because I don't think the 12,000 views I have on this TR are just from moi.

It was one of those stupid recorded messages. Ridiculousness, I tell you!

YAHOOOOO! 39 days for me!!!

you n ur mom are too cute!! mmmm churros ::yes::

Thank you very much! :flower3:
Churros are amazing. That is all.​
 
My Haunted Mansion room!

I have hinted a few times in a few updates (most recently the one at the Haunted Mansion where it sounds like I’m on crack) that we redecorated my room to have a Haunted Mansion theme and we finally finished it last night. So since it’s Disney related, I thought that I should do a real life update on it so you guys could see pictures!

I wanted to do my room over with a Haunted Mansion theme because after going backstage, I just fell in love with it. And now it’s in my top favorite rides.

You will see everything we put in there in a few minutes, but we made a headboard for my room. We started it yesterday morning by adding the legs onto the actual headboard part (we just got a big piece of plywood from Home Depot) and got legs for it. Mum got some nails that were two inches long to attach the legs. If you are making a headboard at home, DO NOT USE TWO INCH NAILS TO ATTACH THE LEGS.
So we laid the plywood on the floor and started hammering the nails on for the legs. And what happened you ask?

We have a hole in our living room floor now.

The nails were so long that they just went right through the floor so we had the lovely job of getting the headboard out from the floor, because it was stuck. It was great. The nail went right through our rug into the hardwood floor and now there is a hole.

So we got shorter nails and those still went through the front of the headboard, but not into the floor (thank God).

After we got the legs on, we put the foam down, and we didn’t have enough. Awesome. Seriously, it was the littlest space that we had left to cover.

Since we didn’t have enough, we had to get ready and go out to Joann’s Fabric to get some more foam, and while we were at it, got some more batting to make the headboard cushionier (that’s a word? I thought I made that up).

So we got the foam and got a rod for my curtain that we were hanging up.

And while we were out, we just did some errands while we were at it. And we picked up some chocolate chip cookies, because WHY NOT?!

We got home and I turned the oven on for the cookies. They were so delicious. I’ll probably make some more today because for one, I’m an eating machine and two, I love cookies.

Anyways, we added the foam on and the batting and then we added the fabric on. And it wasn’t hard at all! We used a staple gun, and Mum said that it was the best $20 that she had ever spent. She just loved that staple gun. And people say I’m the weird one.

The headboard was so easy to make! The fabric was just a pain in the butt because we had to put black fabric on the ends of it (you’ll see in the pictures) because the fabric wasn’t wide enough and wouldn’t cover the whole headboard. I was a little bummed that it wouldn’t fit the whole thing but it turned out really good!

We brought the headboard upstairs and it behind my bed, since where else would we put it?

You guys read to see some pictures?

Well here ya go!

That is my headboard! The Haunted Mansion wallpaper <3

As you can see, Mum painted that sign for above my bed with extra plywood we had from Home Depot.
Also, that is my Haunted Mansion pillow I got at the Emporium!

These are my curtains.

Mum added a black one behind them.

And if you are wondering, Mum made the curtains! She will be starting her own business soon for headboards, signs, and curtains if you are interested and want to buy from her. Her website is up but she is still adding the finishing touches on it. Her website is MumsAwesomeHomemadeStuff.com

That is a joke. I hope you guys know that. So don’t go on that website right now expecting to buy a headboard or something.

Anyways, this is the side of my bed, with a lamp Mum painted and I have two candles in my room that glow up. (They are from Michaels).

This is my bureau with one of the stretching pictures Mum got off etsy (I think…) above the mirror.

And if you noticed, Ralph is on the right!

Everyone say “HIIII RALPH!” No? Okay. You don’t have to say it.

He is sitting on a Styrofoam ball that is covered with flowers that we glued on.

Ralph is just awesome.

Don’t ask why I have a rubber chicken on my desk…

My bulletin board, posters, my Rapunzel flag from Disney on Ice, and the calendar I got from World of Disney at the beginning of this trip.

These are above my closet door. The flag I got at the D23’s Fanniversary Celebration in Boston, and an old Mickey Mouse Club record I scored for FREE at a local antique shop.

And that is pretty much it!

I hope you guys liked my tour of my room. I am in love with it and so is our cat Meeko.

She thinks my bed is very comfy.

Why thank you Mum! I appreciate it!
Well I am like this 99.9% of the time and I really don't know how you put up with moi.​
 
I love the bedroom, you guys did a GREAT job!!! I ony have one question: Why do you have a rubber chicken on your desk?:rotfl2::lmao::rotfl:

I'm a gazillion years older than you, but your Mum's question cracked me up. I have that personality too, off the wall bordering on manic, but it's fun, right?:goodvibes
 
You and your mum should wander over to the facebook group, Nov 2012 DIS'ers. You're both going in November and it is a wacky group. Tons of fun!:goodvibes

Thank you so much! I LOVE my room.
Well...I really like David Cook who won American Idol several years ago. He used to do the vlogs on his website called pork beans and he did this one with a rubber chicken that they put on stage during shows. And this is the video if you would like to watch it. It is absolutely ridiculous but hilarious. I love the video, so as a joke, one of Mum's friend found a rubber chicken at a store and got it for me as a present. And now it has been sitting on my desk for about three years.
Acting like a maniac is the best thing in the world. It's so much fun!

I am actaully part of the facebook group! I don't go on facebook a lot (I'm a tweeting machine) and I haven't been on the group page in a while. Mum goes on fb a lot so I should add her to the group.​
 
I am laid up recovering from surgery and I just read through your whole report. It has been so fun to read and I truly love all of your photos. How lucky you are to have such a good relationship with your mother. I love your haunted mansion room !!! We were going to go in November, too and I was getting so excited about meeting some people from the Dis, but I had to cancel because of this surgery. I will be in a cast until Halloween, so I will be following along, because I don't have much else to do since I can't walk or do much of anything.

You cheer me up, so I am looking forward to reading more !!

I'm sorry I didn't know you were already there:flower3:, I have trouble connecting DIS names with real names.:upsidedow

I'm Irene Noraas over there, not too much originality on my DIS name.:lmao:

If your Mum is on fb alot then she would def like it! Unless she's exhausted from living with you, b/c we're pretty exhausting too!:rotfl:

This comment just made me smile!
First of all, I hope your surgery went well and that everything is all back to normal soon!
And I am SO happy to hear that you are loving my TR. That means a lot and I'm glad people enjoy reading my craziness :goodvibes
I love my Haunted Mansion room too! Thank you!
I am sorry you won't be able to go next month. :( I saw your ticker so at least you can go in about three months!
I am so happy to hear that I cheer you up.
I am looking forward to have you following along!

It's ok! Yeah, I see a lot of people on the fb group and have zero clue who they are since I am seeing their "real" name and not their DIS name. At least your name is the name as your DIS name!
My name on facebook is I know you probably thought it was going to be something like Meg the Freak...;)
Mum just read your comment and she agreed that she is in fact exhausted living with me! I guess I have done my job!​

You're too funny! I'm just happy that you weren't someone I talk to every day b/c that would be so awkward not knowing... you know?:confused3

I'm on there ALL the time! I would never call you a Freak, except for Disney Freak which is perfectly acceptable here, right?

My DD almost 4, just named one of her Polly Pockets Megan today. Too cute!:upsidedow

Keep exhuasting your Mum, all good daughters do!:rotfl:
 
Love love love how the HM room came out! It looks great. I know I said this, but I want to reupholster my house in that fabric!! lol That is one of my all time fave rides.

Two of my sons share a room and they have a Pirates of the Caribbean Room! Ahh, Disney obsessions...
 
I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Your room! I didn't even know fabric like that existed!

Yes, a Disney Freak is prefectly acceptable!
I remember when I used to play with Polly Pockets. Those were the days. And tell your daughter she has a great taste in names!
Oh, yes! I am just just suprised she hasn't gotten any gray hairs yet...

Thank you very much!
I would LOVE to do that too. When I am older and move into my own house, I am so doing that. It will cost me a fortune, but who cares, right...?!
That is cool! I wish each room in our house had a Disney theme. A girl can dream...

I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE Your room! I didn't even know fabric like that existed!

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!
Yes, it exists! It's expensive, but it exists! We got it from spoonflower.com​
 
I love the photos of your room and the headboard is amazing. Meeks is so cute is he a Birman (I couldn't see his feet so its hard to tell!). We've got a chocolate Birman called Mushu. Looking forward to your next crazy update!!!

Thank you ! I love my headboard too.
Meeko is a himalayan. Excuse me. Meeko is a very cute himalayan. :goodvibes
My next crazy update will be posted later tonight!​
 
Loving your TR! Sorry... I just had to join. I ironically have the same name as you, I am Meg too! ::yes::

Out of interest, how old are you? It would be funny if we were the same age too.

ANYWAYS, I have really enjoyed reading your TR, it has been so entertaining and you have a fab sense of humour. I haven't caught up yet, but I am loving your updates. Would you say Disney On Ice is worth it? It is coming to London, so I am hoping it is similar to the impressive looking one you saw.

Would you happen to know the price of the notebook your mum got at the Disney outlet near St Augustine? I got that at the Emporium for about $15- so I wonder how much it cost in the outlet.

Keep the updates comin', your room is amazing and I LOVE your cute little cat!!! popcorn::

THANK YOU and WELCOME to the craziness!
That is awesome. People named Meg are really cool, like me. So you must be cool, because your name is Meg and you are commenting on my TR and you must like Disney since you are on the DIS. Yup...
I am older than 12, but younger than 14...
I am glad my TR has been entertaining. I try to make it awesome.
I would totally recommend to go see Disney on Ice. It was AWESOME. If you need a Disney fix, then go.
Ummm...I think the notebook was $7.
Thank you!
Oh yes, my kitty is so cute! :cat: Thanks!​
