Hello, my bucket list friends ! It is time for another blog post about some of the fun I had in July. Time has really flown by this year and writing about the fun times that I had this summer is a good break from the current stress that I have. With all that being let’s dive back into some summer fun!
July 2st 2025 – This was the day after the very fun sleepover that I wrote about in my pervious post. I had work on this day but my friend and I went to a coffee shop before I had to go to work. Also on that day at work I got a Squishmallow.
July 23rd – On this day I got to have some fun before work with another friend . We went thrift shopping at my favorite local thrift store where I bought a few things. We also went to eat then we got some treats afterwards I also got coffee. I had a great time with my friend. I wish I could have friend hangouts every week. Later that day I got another Squishmallow at work.
July 24th – On this day I got coffee and I got to go for a walk in the park I love doing simple activities like this. It can make a normal day just a little more exciting.
Hello, my bucket list friends! I have learned that it does not matter how old you get having a sleepover with a good friend is a lot of fun! With that being said let’s get to it.
Summer sleepover !
July 10th – On this day my amazing friend picked me up from work. Our first adventure was a trip to 7-11. We each got a Slurpee and then it was on to Taco Bell before going back to the house. It was a beautiful summer night and we got to go swimming! I love going swimming in the day but there is just something so special about going swimming during the nighttime. It was so amazing to go on a nighttime swim with one of my favorite people. It was truly a wonderful summer night. The next day I had work but before that my friend and I went shopping at Hobby Lobby. This was my first time going to Hobby Lobby and I loved it. There were so many good deals . I was so happy that there were a lot of 4th of July items still available and they were on sale. I got a good amount of 4th of July items at at really great price. I also got a Lisa Frank art kit , a package of shaped straws and more. My friend and I both had a great time there we also got coffee together before I had to go to work. I wish the sleepover would have been longer but other than that it was pretty much prefect.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! It feels good to be writing about the end of June now because it means I’m making progress with my blog posts, and it also means that I still have lots of summer adventures to write about. with that being said, let’s get to it!
June 22nd – On this day, I used my air dry clay that I got from the Dollar Tree to make four green turtles. They turned out so cute! I also had one of my cinnamon lollypops that I got at Sees candy at the mall the day before. I also had an orange cream soda. It was a nice relaxing day.
June 23rd – Today was a work day. I got coffee and at work I got two surprise toys . It was a normal but good day.
June 24th – On this day, I hung out with my friend. we went to eat at Panera Bread we went to my favorite local thrift store. At the thrift store, I got some fun artsy items and a safari surprise toy. At work later that I bought some fun patriotic jewelry. It was great to spend time with my friend. I wish I could see her at least once a week, but life is busy, and it is hard to find time. I’m thankful every time I get to see a friend.
June 25th – On this day, I made a drawing of my cat Cooper. It wasn’t easy, but I had enjoyed the challenge, and I love the way it turned out.
June 26th – This was a very normal day I got coffee, and I went to work.
June 27th – I got coffee, and I went to work like normal, but I did buy some items for Claire’s display at my work. I love summer days, even the ones when I got to work.
June 28th – On this day, I did some scratch art with that kit that I got on mall weekend. I also went to work after I got coffee, of course. It was another normal but good day.
June 29th – This was the 2nd to the last day of the month. I got coffee, went for a walk in the park, bought two hot wheels cars at Safeway , and I had ice cream at home that night. I was an enjoyable summer day.
June 30th – This was the last day of June. I got coffee, and I bought more patriotic accessories at work. It was a good way to end this amazing month.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! April is going by so fast, and due to that, I decided to do one big blog post to get caught up on this month’s adventures! I’ve already had two friend hangouts this month, and that is rare for me, but I welcome it very much! I also went to Savers, got some stickers and other items from Micheals delivered, got two 1990s Barbie dolls, and did some at work shopping. However, that’s not all I have to write about, so with all that being said, let’s dive into my April 2025 adventures so far.
April 3rd – On this day, I went to Safeway on my lunch break, and I got some of those surprise capsules that have foam animals inside. At work, I got a Hello Kitty chalk set that comes with a stencil. It was a pretty normal day, but it was a good day to get some fun items.
April 4th – This was another day of at work shopping. I got two fun Squishmallow building sets, a fluffy bunny notebook, a bag of bouncy balls, a bunny garland ,a hairbrush ,mints, and roller chalk. It was a good day to get a few more fun items from work.
April 5th – On this day I got a delivery from Instacart. I ordered some fun items from Michaels, including two sticker books and a little art set. I also got some sport stickers and a Squishmallow slime set. I like like being able to get items delivered while I am at work. Getting some fun items delivered made my work day a little more fun!
April 8th – On this day I did two of my favorite things. I saw a friend and I went thrift shopping. This friend hangout was not planned but my friend happened to be in the same area as my work. I worked a different shift than I normally do so my lunch was earlier than normal. My friend and I went to Subway on my lunch break . It was wonderful to get to spend sometime with one of my very favorite people. Having a good conversation with my friend was something that I really needed. It is so easy for life to get busy and that can make it is hard to slow down and enjoy the best things in life like having a conversation with a friend. Having lunch with my friend on this day was truly a blessing. After work I took an Uber to Savers. I had not been to Savers in a while so I was happy to get the chance to go again. However ,it was a little overwhelming when I got there because it was so busy. It was a weekday but I live in a very crowded area so even the weekdays can be very busy. However, I was still able to get some great items even with all the crowds. My favorite item that I got was a vintage Barbie book. I also got a Barbie doll , a Squishmallow that still had a tag, a Squishmallow clip, a bag that had some stickers in it, two art kits, a large sticker book , and a shirt. It was an overall good trip to Savers but I hope I can go to a less crowded place the next time I got thrift shopping.
April 9th – I had this day off. I met another one of my favorite people for lunch. It had been a while since I had seen this friend so I was very excited to get to catch-up with her and to have some good food together. While we were walking around after lunch, I saw a doll store. I just had to go inside. I got two 90s Barbie dolls that were still in the box. I also got some doll clothes and some American Girl stickers! It was a really great day off. I wish I could hang out with my friends every week.
April 10th – On this day I got a Crayola Colourwhirl . I had seen this online and I really wanted one. I was not planning on getting one on this day. However the hardware store that I was in just happened to have them. I got the green one because green is my favorite color. I’m happy that I got one!
Thank you for reading about some of my April adventures!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! Even though I have not crossed off any bucket list items this month, I consider this month to be a successful one because I got to see a friend. As I get closer to the middle of my 30s it gets seem like it gets more difficult to see my friends and to be social in general so if I get to see a friend one day out of the month I feel successful in being a somewhat social person. Now that I have made a very long introduction to this post, let’s get to the post. Here we go
February 11th 2025
I had work on this day but I left my house early so I would have time with my friend before it was time in clock in. we met at my favorite local thrift store because we both enjoy thrift shopping. I got some toys and art supplies. After thrift shopping we went to a local coffee shop and we had a good conversation while we enjoyed our drinks. Before we went to lunch, we stopped by one of my favorite toy stores. I got a package that had surprise toys in it, and I also got a box with three squishy toys in it. After the toy store we went to lunch. lunch was really good and we also got to talk to each other more before I had to go to work. I’m so thankful that I got to spend time with my friend!

10/05/2024 – On this day, I went to the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk with my family. We were invited to a private party there.

The fun does not stop there because not only did I buy some fun items at work including a Hello Kitty Journal, I also did a pick up order Target and I got some great items in that order including a craft kit, a sticker book with so many great stickers, and a Squishmallow hair accessories set. It was a really fun day

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Things have been very busy lately, and I’ve gotten behind on my blog posts. I wanted to post my Starbucks review quickly, and now that I’ve done that. I wanted to go back to the very first day of this month. I started off this very busy month with a spontaneous hangout with my amazing friend. It was a beautiful day, and we decided to get Jamba Juice. It had been way too long since we had seen each other. After Jamba Juice, we went to a local toy store because I wanted to get some stickers. The sticker selection did not disappoint, and I got a few different kinds, including a book of avocado stickers. After that we went to a local park and went on a nice walk. It was nice just to sit on a bench by the lake and watch birds while we talked. The area that I live in is very fast-paced, and it is so nice to slow down for a bit. I feel like I’m either rushing around or I’m too tired to do anything at all. It is so easy to get caught up in everything that the most important things like spending time with friends and family can get put to the side. I’m glad I started the month on a great note, and I hope it continues.
Hello, my bucket list, friends! I have gotten a little bit behind on my blog posts because I was busy having a great time with my amazing friend this weekend! We met on Saturday evening at Starbucks. Then we went to look at Christmas lights. We went to this one neighborhood where almost every house was decorated. There were also lighted archers that you could walk under. There were so many things to look at and take pictures of. I got cold, but other than that, it was perfect. I spent the night at my friends house. I think it is important to remember that sleepovers are still fun even in your 30s! The next day we went to Goodwill to drop some things off but we also went inside the store. My main goal was to look for books. This location had a good selection of books. I got some American girl books and a Mary-Kate and Ashley book. Some other items that I got were a Build a Bear brand bunny plush, 4th of July themed buttons, a Ty Beanie Baby ornament , and Christmas art supplies. Another highlight of the weekend was that my friend and I decorated gingerbread cookies and a house. I hope all of you are having an amazing Christmastime!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m very excited to say that I got to see my friend again on Friday! We went to eat at one of our favorite places, Veggie Grill. It was good as always, but really, it was really good just to hang out with my friend again. Life is always so busy, and it is good to take a break and spend time with some of your favorite people. We also went to Target , Michaels and Old Navy. I did not get anything at Old Navy, but there were some very cute items as always. At Target, I got a Christmas Craft kit. I was so happy to see that they had the craft kits out already. I hope to go back and get the wooden nativity set that you can paint. At Michaels, I got some beads and other items, including Christmas themed stickers. It was a really great day, and I hope to keep up the trend of seeing my friend often. The next day, I worked the closing shift at work. Before work, I went to Whole Foods. It had been a while since I had been to Whole Foods, so I was very happy to go there. I got some soup for lunch and some other items, including the fruit snacks that come with trading cards and a duck shaped bath sponge. On one of my breaks at work I went shopping and I got a Hot Wheels car, mechanical pencils and eraser toppers. It was a pretty great two days.

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last Friday was a really great day. I finally got to spend some time with my amazing friend. It had been over a month since I last saw her. We both ended up having the same day off, and that is a very rare thing for us. The first thing we did was go to Starbucks. After that, we went to my favorite local thrift store. I had been there the week before, and I saw that they had the American Girl doll Courtney. She is one of my favorites but I decided not to spend the 50.00 to get her. However, when I saw that she was still available, I felt like I had to get her, so I did. I was so happy to have her as a part of my collection! I also got some other things at the thrift store, including a container full of plastic toys, two Barbie fast food toys , a big book about animals ,and a bag of doll clothes. After thrift shopping, we went to lunch, went on a walk, and then we ended the day with frozen yogurt. It was a really great day!
Thanks for reading about my fun day off ! – Christina Epperly
