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!

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.

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

Idaho adventure August 2023

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month, I went on an adventure to Idaho. I go to Idaho pretty often. However, this was my first time going there this year. I have a good number of family members living there, so that is the main reason I visit Idaho so frequently. This time, we were going to celebrate my grandma’s birthday. Since my birthday is this month I was also a part of the celebration. It was a pretty fun adventure, and I can not wait to tell you more about it, so here we go!

August 9th – This was the day my mom and I flew to Idaho. When we got there we went to lunch with my grandparents. Along with my lunch I had some soft serve ice cream, and of course, I put sprinkles on it. I was happy to see family members that I had not seen in a long time including my grandparents dog.

August 10th – Today was a big shopping day! I went shopping at JC Penny’s , Walmart, and two thrift stores. I got several great items. Some of my favorite things I got are a pair of flipflops with a colorful heart pattern, a new Barbie doll from Walmart, a bunch of Barbie books, a Las Vegas mug, A Build a Bear plush that has a colorful star pattern, a duck plush from Las Vegas, and a rubber duck that looks like a fire fighter from the two thrift stores I went to. It was a good day of shopping and being with family in Idaho.

August 11th – Today’s big highlight was going on a trolley tour of Boise. I did enjoy ridding the trolley and seeing some beautiful things and learning about some of Boise’s history. I also went to another thrift store on this day. I did not get much, but I did get a craft kit, some stickers, and some teeny Beanie Babies. There was also another trip to Walmart that night where I got some of my favorite juice that comes with toys.

August 12th – This day was a really fun one. This was the day we celebrated three family birthdays, including mine. I started the day by getting Starbucks and then going shopping at the Dollar Tree. At the dollar tree, we got some balloons for the birthday party we were having. I also got some stickers, two art kits, a set of two hair accessories, a set of four water balls, and more! To celebrate our birthdays we went to a restaurant for some very good food and they also sang happy birthday to us. I also got some ice cream there. After lunch, some of us went to pick up some desserts to take to my grandparents’ house. I chose a colorful cake that a plastic balloon decoration on it. The night I went on a walk with my mom and my sister. It was a great way to end this wonderful day.

August 13th – On this day, I went with my mom and sister on a day trip. We drove for a while before stopping at a convenience store. Then we went to Kirkham Hot Springs. It was really interesting to visit a natural hot springs. I got some good pictures there. I do recommend visiting this location. We also went to Red Fish Lake and we rented a peddle boat there. I liked that the boat was sparkly. After the lake we went to a restaurant before going back to my grandparents’ house.

August 14th – This was the last full day we had in Idaho before we went back home the next day. It was a pretty lowkey day, but I did go to Burger King, and the one went to had one of those really cool touch screen soda machines.

August 15th – This was that day we went back home. Our flight was not till afternoon so we had time to go to breakfast. We also got to the airport early so I had time to play in the arcade where I won some prizes from the claw machine. I also got two Idaho souvenirs from a store at the airport.

Thanks for reading about my Idaho adventure! – Christina Epperly

My 32nd birthday weekend!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello,my bucket list friends! On Friday I turned 32! I did a lot to celebrate and I can’t wait to tell you about it. I started my celebration by staying up so I could have a drink at midnight. It is kind of a tradition of mine. After a quick drink I went to sleep. I started off the morning like I always do by going to Starbucks. I had on a 90s Barbie party hat that I got from Poshmark. I go to that Starbucks all the time so when the employees saw my party hat they wished me a happy birthday. At work the kids were so nice. They wished me happy birthday many times during the day. They even gave me artwork as birthday gifts. I also got a card, flowers and cake from my boss and coworkers. I brought cookies to share with everyone. After work my mom picked me up and we went to Savers. As always when I go thrift shopping, I hoped I would find a cart full of treasures. However, I didn’t find that much this time. I am happy with the things I did find though. I got two Barbie dolls, four Beanie Babies a Barbie bag, a shirt and a good amount of books. After thrift shopping and a quick stop at home we went to dinner. I decided to go to a place that has arcade games. I love playing the claw game here because I usually win a prize. This time was no different I won two squishy toys. It was a pretty good birthday. The next day it was time for my birthday weekend adventure to start. My mom and I left that morning and headed to Piont Reys. We did have some stops along the way including Starbucks and Goodwill. At this Goodwill I got three things. A Melissa and Doug craft kit, a bead kit from the 90s, and a little carousel horse. Our first adventure in the Point Reys area was to check out the shipwreck in Inverness. This shipwreck is how Point Reys got its name because that was the name of the ship. It was a very interesting thing to see. I got a lot of great pictures. I’m glad I went to see it. The next stop was the Point Reyes lighthouse. This place turned out to be very crowded. The light house was cute but it was going to close soon. It’s a long way down to the lighthouse and it is pretty difficult to climb back up to the top. I was going back up as fast as I could so I could get to the visitor center before it closed. I got to the visitor center just as the looked the door. I was very disappointed. However, even though I didn’t know it yet things were about to turn around. We decided to had to Drakes beach next. I knew that they had a visitor center but they also have a store there as well. There was a sign said that their store was already closed but it turned out that it was open. The visitor closed while I was in the store but I was happy to get some souvenires and explore the beach. I  also got a map of Point Reys. I had fun exploring the beautiful beach and as a bonus it was not  crowded at all. After spending sometime at a beautiful beach my mood had completely turned around. After the beach we went to explore the cypress tree tunnel. This is a beautiful place to take pictures. At the end of the tunnel you will find a building that is home to a radio station. I really liked exploring this area. Near the building we found a fallen tree and you could see the roots. After a day full of exploring we checked in our hotel that was located in San Rafael. The next morning we met my sister for breakfast. After a very good breakfast we walked around a little bit and visited a book store. It was a pretty great birthday weekend.

Drink review! Warheads sour green apple soda.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! It’s time for another drink review. Today I’m reviewing Warheads sour green apple soda. I got this can of soda at a candy store in Monterey. I’ve been excited to try it and today on my lunch break I finally did. I love the green color and the apple pictures on this can. When I fist tasted this soda I could  immediately taste the apple flavor. It took a few seconds for me to notice the sour flavor. I could definitely taste the sour taste but it was not unpleasant. I really enjoyed the apple flavor. I found this soda very easy to drink. I’m so happy I decided to review this dink because I like it a lot. I highly recommend trying this soda  especially if you are a fan of sour apple candy!
