Ok well..i had been wanting to make a Tshirt with Doug on it for a long time and I finally went to this craft shop and got all this cool stuff..got a black tshirt, fabric paints and glitter and I already had this pic of Doug on photo paper that I printed about a year ago lol and you iron that on the shirt. Anyways I come home all excited to make it and so I'm sitting downstairs in the living room, on the floor(the carpet..the BRAND NEW carpet..BRAND NEW TAN CARPET), with the shirt spread out on the floor ready to start..i got the iron all heated up (as high as it goes..i didn't think the temp mattered..as long as it was hot enough for the picture to stick) So I start ironing the pic on the shirt and i'm ironing the pic on for well..ENOUGH time until i think i can rip the paper off and Doug will be on there.. so im pressin it all hard and what not..and when I am sure that the picture is on there and I can peel the backing off I do so..(by the way my mom is sitting in the kitchen the whole time doing her bills, minding her own business) I start ripping the back off slowly..the sides look fine because it was the white border of the photo and i'm continuing the rip it and i'm NOT seeing Doug anywhere..I finally have the whole thing peeled off and I'm staring at a black shirt with a white and brown box in the middle of it! I guess the pic got burnt from the iron being too hot on it or I just over did it with the iron..so now i'm pissed because there's a brand new shirt ruined and that was the last of my photo paper..so i'm sitting there pondering on what to do and I come to conclusion that it can still be used as a night shirt and I can decorate it with the paints and glitter and stuff. I come up with an idea on what to do but before I started I was getting up to take the shirt in the kitchen to show my mom what happened..I go to pick the shirt up off the rug and...it's stuck! ::tries not to laugh:: Geez. So I'm like "omg" to myself and I'm pulling the shirt slowly and it's starting to come up and as i'm now peeling the shirt off the rug I see all this blackness..like burn on the rug and i'm like omg out loud and my mom knows something happened so she came in and saw and of course she's mad and so she's now hovered over top of me as i continue to pull it up slowly cause didn't want the rug to rip (remember this is brand new carpet!..had it maybe a month at the most) and it just gets to a point where i just can't pull anymore..that's how hard and stuck it was so i'm pulling and my moms pulling and it's to that point where i wanna bust up laughin (Um..I kinda have this bad habit of laughing at the WRONG times! geez. I mean it WAS funny b/c I never expected this to happen but it really wasn't funny cause I know my mom was pissed and I was mad about it too) Anyways we're both pulling with all our might and my mom finally does this one huge tug and a big circle out of my black shirt burnt INTO the tan rug geeeez so um..yea the shirt is actually burnt into the rug and there's no way to get it out (we now have a little runner rug over that area) and I have a new black shirt with a brown/white box on the front with a big round circle ripped out the back lol I wanted to crack up soo bad because the whole thing was halarious except the fact that our new rug is damaged..my mom was laughing too though..but not for long..but yea..never ever iron ANYTHING on carpet! ::shakes head:: i feel like what you call a 'dumb blonde' right now lol though i'm far from that

First off I want to ask you, ID, do you have an ironing board...and if you do why didn't you use that...hehe
Secondly, your mom although you said she was pissed is still MUCH nicer than my mom cuz if I had did that (wait I'll say if my sister did that cuz I wouldn't do something like that I would have used an ironing board and if we didn't have that I would have put a towel down and then put the shirt over it) my mom would be fuming by fuming I mean HOT LIKE FIRE and if my dad saw it OH MY GOD never ever hear the end of it...:shakes head:...thinking about that makes me happy that it was you now me
anyways are you gonna keep the runner over it forever or what?

lol. Irons suck. I'm a typical bachelor and occasionally I have to iron clothes for work, and I always, I mean always, end up either burning my shirt or my hand. I really should have taken home ec in high school. Thankfully my sister usually bails me out.

I'm so excited on Friday afternoon I'm getting another dog...a Yorkshire terrier puppy!!! I can't wait to dress her up and put a little bow in her hair and carry her around...her name is Chloe...she is actually my mom's friends dog but she doesn't want her anymore so we are getting her...she's only 6 months old...awww...we already have another dog Samone and she is a german shepherd so it'll be nice to have a little dog who can actually curl up with you on your lap or in your bed or something instead of a 85 pound dog who wants to but can't possibly though...
