I'm back!!!!!​

So I'm back! I'm sorry it's been so long, there's just been so much going on here. I don't really wanna talk about details but I owe my friend money that I don't have, everyones pressuring me into finding a job but I want to focus on college, and I'm also trying to figure out the whole college transfer thing. Gr! I am so beyond stressed and conflicted right now, but it will pass soon, I hope. Anyways! Back to planning! I'm hoping that I will be able to find a part-time job somewhere in the near future so I can hopefully afford a trip next May. Just recently I started a Disney jar, and any loose change or dollar bills, or any money really, goes into that jar, and I'm hoping that I will be able to save up enough in the next year to pay for my trip! As for life in Missouri, it's going pretty good! Today it's 53 and sunny! I just wish that it would melt all of this stupid snow away! I'm ready for spring! It's supposed to snow a ton here on monday night into tuesday morning, which means that I probably won't have class. Alrighty, I'll be back with an actual update in a little bit!

Sorry to hear about everything that is going on!

The weather here has been crazy, too. It has been cold, cold, cold here this week, but today is supposed to be 64 and sunny! I just wish it would stay like this from here on out!

Thanks Jackie, that means a lot! I know exactly what you mean about weather! It was 54 and sunny here yesterday, today's going to be in the mid 40's and sunny but then monday and tuesday we're supposed to get our biggest snow storm yet I wish I was somewhere warm right now! I'm so sick of snow and cold!

Stuff to Buy at Disney World ​

1.) Mickey Ears--this is a tradition for me, I buy a new pair on every trip. I'm thinking of maybe doing the make your own ears this time, since I've never done that. Here's the ears I already have:
My first ever pair of ears, these are from my first trip when I was 4

This is my newest one, which I got in April!

Here's some of the new ones I'm thinking of getting if I don't do the make your own:

2.) Bag, I buy a new tote bag one every trip also! Here's the ones I already have:
I'll continue this post in a little while! I can't find pictures of any of the bags I have, so I have to go take pics of them!

 

[hollisterluva92]

Shopping Part 2​

Here are the long-awaited pictures (jk!) of my purses!
This purse, which isn't actually a purse, it's a reusable bag, I got on my 2007 trip with my high school band. There's a hole in the bottom, which I need to sew!

This is the madras plaid bag I got last April, and I also have the matching shirt and hoodie! I've been scouring the web to find anything else in this print! I wanted the shorts, but they sold out before I could buy them

Next is my newest purchase, a valentines reusable bag! I bought this off ebay for $2.50

This is a new bow I just bought for my hair, I it!

This is the bag I got in 2008 when I stayed at Saratoga Springs. I have also been trying to find the matching wallet to this purse, with no avail

This reusable bag is HUGE! I bought it for $2 around Christmas this past year, and I love it! I'll probably use it to store my laundry in my dorm at some point!

This reusable bag I got back in 2005 or 2006 when I went to Chicago with my band in high school. I bought it at the Disney store!

Lastly is this bag which I bought at target back in 2008, right before I went to Disney. I kept the dme tag on it

I also wanted to insert the real life photos of my ear hats! This first one I got in 2008.

My newest ear hat, my graduation one, I got this in April. The tassel was behind the ear!

This ear hat, gorgeously modeled by Angel, stitch's partner? sister? I also got on my 2008 trip.

That's all for now! I just wanted to update with some photos! I'll be back tomorrow with another update!

Love all the Mouse ears and tote bags! So cute! The kids both have a couple of pairs of their own (the pirate ones, pumpkin ones, and ones they designed themselves). I have a thing for tote bags! There are always so many good designs to choose from!

Thanks Jackie! I also love the selection! When I was there in April they had a really cute shirt that I wish I would have bought! It was silky feeling but it said Magic Kingdom on the front with the characters and a bunch of the rides, and now I can't find it anywhere

Snow Day!​

So I figured I should show you guys the torrential and horrible snow storm/blizzard we've had (and are still having) here in Missouri. It's only snowed about 8-10 inches, which is still a lot, but the drifts are up to 4 ft. It's insane. The mail didn't even come today and I was looking forward to getting my private practice disks from netflix to watch tonight I went outside to get the mail, and the snow is up to my thighs Granted, I am only 4' 7". Anyways, me and my family all stayed home today, and we've just been taking it easy! So! Here's some photos I took around our house of the crazy snow!
This is the corner of our back porch.....and that's just from the wind!

The rest of our porch

Another Porch View

Right in front

I thought this was a neat shot!

The snow has, since 10 minutes ago, completely covered all of those bushes plus an extra inch!

Looking out our front door! Craziness!

Our Backyard, we live on a golf course

And finally we have the nice cozy fire that we have going!

My College has shut down again tomorrow, and I'm going to do another update now! Thanks for reading!

 

[Charleston Princess]

Looks like you got some snow yesterday!

Looks like you got some snow yesterday!

I know right! I am so ready to move to Florida for college! I was born in North Carolina, and I've always been a southern-weather type gal, and my family jokes that my mom should of had me at Disney World and let Mickey and Minnie raise me Thanks for reading!

Joining in!

All that snow looks familiar!

I'm envious of your fire! I wish we had a fireplace right now!

I love all your Disney bags. I have that black reusable bag also. Which reminds me...I have no idea where that is right now.

I hope you're staying inside and staying warm!

Disney Shopping and College Dorm Shopping ​

Good morning everyone! I have some new found loves, shopping related, of course, and I want to share them with you! First off is the Disney Resort Collection Bedding sets. Does anyone know where you can still buy them? I've googled them, amazon-ed them, and ebay-ed them, and still can't find them I just found the Queen Size comforter set....but I don't think it comes with the sheets or pillows It comes with the comforter, pillow shams, and bed skirt, which isn't bad....but it's $100 plus $18 shipping....GRRR!!!!! I really love the Fiji Set, and I am going to keep searching until I find it! This is the Fiji set, which I am in love with, which is based off of the Polynesian Resort!

And this is the Harborside collection, based from the Yacht Club!

Next is a new website! It's called Mouse Surplus, and I recently found out an awesome little secret Mouse Surplus is actually a building behind the Disney World resort where cast members and their friends can go and buy heavily discounted merchandise and leftover stock from the parks! For example, they will have cast member costumes, resort bedding, etc. They also have an online store! Here's the website: http://mousesurplus.myshopify.com/ They have a monorail door right now for sale! And now onto dorm shopping! I am most likely going to the University of Central Florida. I just have to wait and see how much financial aid I get, and that will help me make my decision! Either way, even if I don't end up going to UCF, I will still go to a university.

Bedding​

Hi ya'll!! I need help deciding on bedding for my dorm! Tell me which one you like the most! They go from top=favorite to bottom=least favorite! Thanks!

 

[Queenofallthings]

I'm here...thanks for posting on my TR and inviting us over!! Jasmine made it safe and sound, they landed an hour ago in Orlando and I told her to text me when they get to their room!!

I have to say I laughed when I saw your "barbie" tree.....I have all those ornaments! I started collecting them in 1991 and have bought one every year since....Jasmine's boyfriend was quick to point out we have a very "girly" Christmas tree....Barbie and Disney

Loving your report!!
