Fun August 2024 highlights

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m happy with my progress when it comes to catching up with my blog posts for the month of August. However, before I officially wrap up the month of August, I wanted to highlight some of my August moments that I haven’t written about yet, so let’s get to it!

Photoshoot fun – On August 21st, I went to eat with my friend at a place that I had never been to before. It was a really nice place that was wonderful for taking photos. I love the way the pictures turned out.

My one year anniversary at work – I never got around to posting about this on social media, so I will post about it here. I got a pin for working one year at my current job. I’m very blessed to have a steady job and to have great people at my job.

Lots of at work shopping – This is pretty much a highlight for every month, but my work is always full of fun items. I got lots of fun items this month, including stickers, activity books, surprise squishy toys, bubbles, a Crayola LOL doll, and more!

Trader Joes – I love going to Trader Joes and getting free stickers! On Aug 17th, I went to Trader Joes, and I got Marshmallows, free stickers, and a free coloring page!

Making smores – On Aug 18th, I made smores! I used the marshmallows that I got the day before to make this classic summer treat!

Taking a photo with a celebrity on the last day of August – The last day of August is hard for me, It means that my favorite time of year is pretty much over. I went to work on this day. I did get some fun things at work, including surprise toys and stickers. I also went to Starbucks before work. However, the biggest highlight of the day was when George Kittle came into my work. I asked him if we could take a selfie, and he said yes! I may have been at work when most people were in Labor Day weekend mode, but I got to take a picture with an NFL player who has amazing hair. It was a great way to end the summer.

Thanks for reading, and keep summer in hearts forever!

My 34th birthday!!!!!!!!!!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends ! A little less than a month ago I turned 34 years old. I had a great day celebrating and I can’t wait to tell you about it so let’s get to it!

August 26th – This was the day that I officially became 34 years old. I took the day off from work to celebrate. I had a nice day at home and then I went out to eat that evening. My parents and I went to a really great Chinese food restaurant. Both the food and the service was amazing. It was the perfect place to go to celebrate my birthday. After dinner I went to one of my favorite places and that place is Target! I bought a bunch of fun things! I love the Barbie pop reveal doll that I got. Some other things that I got are stickers, bath bombs that have prizes inside, a Barbie surprise toy, surprise squishy toys, and crayons. After my Target shopping spree I went to Safeway to get a birthday cake. I chose a beautiful ice cream cake. I put some My Little Pony candles that I had on my cake. It was a great birthday!

Seeing a friend and going to Galaxy Con

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is a nother post about the month of August! It was a pretty good month for me, and in this blog post, I will share two fun things that happened in August. Now, the introduction is done. Let’s get to the fun!

August 15th – On this day, I saw my friend that I don’t get to see very often. It was really good to eat dinner and catch up with each other. We also went to this candy store we like. It was great to see her.

August 18th – On this day, my dad and I went to Galaxy Con. I  love getting to take pictures with celebrities, and I was especially excited because I reserved a photo opp with William Shatner. This kind of meeting is very quick but it was totally worth it. I love the picture that my dad and I took with him! We also took pictures with  many other celebrities. My dad and I are both Star Trek fans, so we met a lot of the actors from the franchise. I had a wonderful time meeting Gates McFadden she was so sweet and friendly. Terry Farrell was also very sweet, and she liked my Alice Cooper tattoo. We also got to meet Michael Dorn , Robert Picardo, and Corbin Bernsen. We also got to see part of Weird Al’s Q and A session, and we saw all of William Shatner’s Q and A session. I will definitely consider going to this event again next year.

Thank you for reading about more of my August fun!

A few hours in Las Vegas

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last summer I went to Las Vegas for the first time and I fell in love with the city. On the way back from Idaho, we stopped in Las Vegas for a few hours, and while it was very short, it was amazing. I can’t wait to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it.

August 13th – This was the day that we came back home from Idaho. I was excited because we got to spend a few hours in Las Vegas, but I really wanted to stay the night there. I love Las Vegas, and I was praying so hard that our flight would be canceled so we could have more time in the city that I fell in love with the year before. However, we did have enough time to go to the Shark Reef Aquarium. I had been wanting to visit this aquarium for a while, and I was very excited to have the chance to go. I really enjoyed the aquarium. There was so much to see here, including a giant lizard! There was also a touch tank. After exploring the aquarium, we ended up getting some much needed massages. It was great to get to relax for a bit. I was still praying that our flight would get canceled. Even when went back to the airport. At the airport, I did get some Las Vegas souvenirs. I also got some souvenirs at the aquarium . Our flight did get delayed, but it did not get canceled. I was said when I got on the airplane to go home, I was sad. However, I’m very thankful that I got the chance to go to Las Vegas again and that I got to go to the Shark Reef Aquarium.

Thanks for reading!

Idaho trip August 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! In August, I went to visit my family in Idaho. While I was there, I did a lot of thrift shopping, visited a reptile zoo, and more. I can’t wait to tell you about all the fun I had in Idaho, so let’s get to it.

August 6th – This was the day that I arrived in Idaho. I was very happy to see my grandparents and their dog. I also went to Walmart, where I got some stickers that you color, markers, and some bracelets from a vending machine.

August 7th – On this day, I went thrift shopping at two different stores! Of course, I got some great items, including stickers, Barbie books, a bag of rubber ducks, and some plush toys. We also went to Burger King it was a good day!

August 8th – On this day, we went to frozen yogurt. One of the topping choices was freeze-dried Skittles. I put so many on my yogurt because they are expensive to buy in stores. I enjoyed my yogurt and later that night we went to savers. When we got there, we did not have a lot of time before the store closed, but I got some books, including an American Girl book that had stickers in it. I also got some stickers.

August 9th – On this day, my mom and I went to the Idaho reptile zoo. I highly recommend going here if you get the chance to. There are so many interesting reptiles here! I loved looking at all the snakes, lizards, and turtles. I also really enjoyed getting to feed huge tortoises. There are also some birds and fish here as well. We also went back to savers, and I made a quick visit to the thrift store next door. I got some more books, stickers, and a TY beanie baby.

August 10th – On this day, I got Starbucks and spent the day visiting family. This included getting to see some very cute animals, including cows.

August 11th – On this day, we had a family birthday party. We started by going out to lunch, and then we picked up a birthday cake and some other things before going back to the house for cake and ice cream. I also got some stickers and hot wheels cars at the store. It was great to have a party with my family it reminded me of the parties that we used to have.

August 12th – On this day, my mom, sister, and I went on an adventure to one attraction in Boise that I had not been to yet the old Idaho penitentiary. The tour was interesting and I do recommend it but it is definitely not for everyone. However, it is not often that you get a chance to visit a prison, so it was a good opportunity to go somewhere that I normally would not. I still prefer the zoo, though. I also went to Walmart again, and I got a color reveal Barbie, bath bombs, and stickers. I was our last full day in Idaho, and it was a good one.

Thank you for reading about my August Idaho adventure.

A beach day ,a movie day, My summer 2024 picture and more

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m happy to say that I’m finally writing about the month of August! August is one of my favorite months because it is a summer month, and it is also my birthday month. I started off the month by going to the beach. I’m excited to tell you about that and some other activities I did this month, so let’s get to it.

August 1st – I started off the month by going to the beach. I got coffee before I went to the beach . I love walking on the beach while drinking coffee. It was a great way to start the month.

August 3rd – On this day, I started drawing my summer picture. I’ve been drawing a picture during the summer for several years now. This year, I went with a book in the middle of the picture because every summer is its own story. I like the way this picture ended up looking. I really like the book in the middle of the picture. Also, on this day, I got a fun sticker book at Safeway!

August 4th – On this day, my friend and I went to the movies. We saw Harold and the Purple Crayon. It was a very good movie! It was full of adventure and imagination. I highly recommend going to see this movie. It was one of the best movies that I’ve seen in a while. After the movie we went to the Dollar Tree. I got a few things, including some stickers, an ice pop shaped serving try, and a TY plush keychain. After that we went to lunch. It was a really great day

Thank you for reading my early August highlights
