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!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! Well, I’m now writing about the month of September. I’m going to try to get through my September posts with pretty quickly. It was a pretty normal month that did not have very many highlights. However, there are some things that happened in September that I would like to talk about, so let’s get to the first post about September 2024
9/5 – I did some at work shopping on this day. There were some really good clearance deals, including on Squishmallows! I got a very cute squishmallow that I had been wanting. I also got some 4th of July items and other summer items. I did a lot of at work shopping this month. However it would take a while to talk about all of it so I’m probably just going to write here so just know I got a lot of cool stuff at work this month including toys, stickers, and more!
9/7 and 9/8 – This was the weekend I got a new phone! I loved my Samsung Galaxy flip 3, but It was getting old and was not working well, so I got the Samsung Galaxy flip 6, and I love it! It can be stressful switching phones, but it was so worth it. I love my new phone and I’m so happy that I got it.
9/10 – This was a really great day. I went shopping at my favorite local thrift store. I bought a lot of fun items, including a hair bow, a little Squishmallow, glittery letter stickers, and a flamingo icecube tray. My favorite item that I got was a Barbie from 2004 that was still in the box! I was so happy when I saw her. I also went to one of my favorite toy stores on this day. I got some stickers and a really great squishy toy. I also went to my favorite local coffee shop. My friend met me there after a while. It was so good to see her. We went to the toy store and I showed her the squishy toys and she got one and I got another one. It was a really great day!
9/11 – Today, I went to the movies with my parents. We saw the movie Reagan. It was such a good movie. It was long, but the movie was so good it didn’t even feel like a long movie. It was very interesting and both my parents and I enjoyed it. I also saw my friend at the movies. We were going to see different movies, but it was so cool to see her two days in a row.
Thank you for reading about some of my September adventures!
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’ve had some really good days this week, and I hope you did as well. I wanted to share some of the good things that I’ve experienced this week, so let’s get to it.
Monday, March 11th – On this day, I bought some really cool things from work, including a set of gel pens that I have been wanting to get for a while now. I also got a plush basket that has plush toys in it, a bead kit, some stickers, and juice that has toys on top! Another thing I bought on this day was skin tag removal patches. I have this skin tag by my eye that has been bothering me, so I’m excited to finally get rid of it.
Tuesday, March 12th – On this day, I had the day off. I didn’t have any plans, but it turned out to be a really great day. My amazing friend called me and asked if I wanted to hang out. I was immediately excited to see her! Our first stop was going to my favorite local thrift store. At first I didn’t find anything but then I saw a bag of stickers for a dollar. After that, I began finding more items, including bags of beads , a teddy bear , a dinosaur toy, and a Barbie doll. After that, my friend and I went to the candy store. This is one of my favorite places to go with my friends. My friend and I also went to one of our favorite restaurants for dinner. This day was truly amazing! I love it when I get to spend a day with a friend.
Wednesday, March 13th – I had work on this day, and of course, I bought something else that I had my eye on at work. A bunny Play-Doh set. I also got two little notebooks that were on sale.
Thursday, March 14th – Another work day, but I went to Safeway before going to work. I’ve gotten really into using coupons on the Safeway app, and it has saved me a lot of money. I got some of my favorite food items at Safeway, including my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. I also got a large pack of gum that comes in a plastic refillable case. That was something that I had been wanting to get, so I got it when I saw it in the self checkout area. After Safeway, it was time for work. For some reason, work has been very busy this week, and today was no different. I was doing a lot of multi-tasking throughout the day. I bought this headband on my break that I had been wanting to get. I was gonna get some scented markers that are the same brand that I had when I was a kid, but we were sold out, however I did get a set of colorful pens that were on sale instead. I also got more mini note books.
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!

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Last week had some really great moments. I decided to make a blog post highlighting those moments. Without any more introduction, let’s get to it!
Monday – This day was a really amazing one. My friend and I both were off on this day, and this is a rare occurrence. I was very excited for us to spend they day together. We did some of our favorite things. We went to Starbucks and went on a walk. went shopping at Five Below, and we ended the day by going to Yogurtland. My friend had never been to Five Below before, and I was excited to show it to her. I got many fun items, including Barbie sunglasses, a Barbie puzzle, a My Little Pony toy, a Barbie tea set, a painting art kit, and new earbuds, I also got a Squishmallow. I’m not going to start collecting them because I collect so many things already, but I was excited about the price, plus they are very cute. It was also a lot of fun going to Yogurtland. I love being creative and making my own frozen yogurt creation. However, the best thing about the day was getting to spend time with my friend.
Tuesday – On this day, I worked the morning shift. Before work, I got coffee at the place I normally do. Work went well, and after work, I got some Kinder Joy eggs at Safeway. It was a simple but good day.
Wednesday – On this day, I also worked the morning shift. I started the day with coffee just like the day before. I also had a good day at work just like I had the day before. However, this day was different because I went to my favorite local thrift store after work. It had not been long since I was there last so there were not a lot of new items but I did get some good items. including an American Girl book and a sheet of Easter stickers. I enjoyed going thrift shopping, of course, but my favorite part of the day was going out to eat with family members that I had not seen in a while. I got to eat pizza and have good conversations. it was a really great day.
Thursday – I was off on this day, and I got to see my friend again. It was a last-minute thing, but I was so excited to see her again. We went to Walgreens and Starbucks. At Walgreens, I got a new Pez dispenser. We only hung out for a little while because I wanted to get back home, but it was truly amazing to see my friend twice in one week.
Thanks for reading about my week! I hope you are all enjoying the month of April!
Hello, my bucket list, friends! The older I get, the harder it is to see my friends. That is why I’m so excited that on Wednesday I got to see my friend. We did spend New Years together, so it had not been that long since we had last seen each other. We didn’t really have any set plans for our time together, but we did know that we wanted to get food. We decided to go to Panera Bread to get food. we also went to Savers and McDonalds. At Savers, I got a Barbie doll, a my little pony toy that sings and lots of books. I was very excited about the Barbie books that I got. However, it does not really matter what you do when you hang out with your friend as long as you get to spend time together. We also got to walk a very cute dog. It was a great day! I hope to have many more days this year where I get to see my friends.
Hello, my bucket list friends! Yesterday was so much fun so I decided my memories of it needed its own blog post! The first fun thing I did yesterday was a craft kit. It was a simple coloring craft kit where I colored a wooden magnet shaped like a dog. I made a video of me coloring it. (You can find the video on my Instagram Page my username is summerrockstar ) My big highlight of the day was getting to see my amazing friend. I’m so blessed that we have been able to see each other a fair amount lately. When my friend picked me up our first stop of our day was Panera Bread. We both really like the food there. I had tomato soup there yesterday and I highly recommend it! After lunch we went to a local thrift store. I thought that they had closed for the day already but it turned out they were still open. I’m so glad we went to the thrift store because I got some really cool items for my collection. The items I got were a folder that had four photos from the Lion King inside, two Barbie books, a Barbie doll, a Barbie backpack and a quiz book. It was a good day for Barbie items at the thrift store yesterday! After thrift shopping we decided to go get our nails done. We were able to walk right in with no wait. We both really enjoyed getting to relax. I loved the massage chairs that they had. I picked this beautiful green color for my nails called watermelon. I also got my eyebrows and upper lip waxed for the first time and I have to say I’m really happy with the way it looks. When all that was done there was one thing left to do. We went to Starbucks for iced coffee. It was on the warmer side yesterday so iced coffee was the perfect choice for yesterday’s weather even though it is October! Yesterday was truly a beautiful day.
