A bunch of random thoughts on a Friday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

This is another blog post where I just want to write about whatever random thoughts happen to be on my mind, so here we go!

Yesterday, I went to Safeway, and I got some of my favorite things. I know that it may seem weird to some that I highlight my trips to the grocery store, but I enjoy getting out and shopping even when it is just a normal errand. I think that it is important to enjoy the little things in life. Some of my favorite things that I got were my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards, two different brands of juice that come with toys, and an egg dyeing kit that comes with stickers! I’ve been more excited about getting stickers lately, even though I’ve bought tons of stickers in my life.

I got more stickers at work on Tuesday. I bought two different items an egg dye kit and a plastic egg that had candy and stickers in it. The egg dye kit that I got on this day was different than the one I got yesterday, but they both came with stickers.

It is supposed to start raining soon……………. I’m not really looking forward to it. I know that rain is important but I have been enjoying the sun.

One of the juice brands that I collect is called good 2 grow and I recently just found out that they have an app where you can download and use it to keep track of your collection and earn badges. If you collect good 2 grow, I recommend using this app.

I’ve been listening to audio books lately, but I haven’t actually been reading much, and I know that I need to get back into that, but audio books seem to be a lot less expensive. When I want to read a specific book, especially a new one, I will get an audio book to save money.

I’ve been getting more pictures printed lately. I have so many photos that are digital, and I think it is a good idea to get them printed. I recently got a bunch of pictures printed from when I was a teenager since most of the pictures that I have from that time are all digital.

Thanks for reading my random thoughts!

A Goodwill trip, a surprise party ,Easter items, and more!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This post is gonna be about a bunch of different things that happened starting the day I made my way back home from Death Valley. I have a few things that I want to talk about, but since the month is almost over, I’m just going to put them into one post. With that being said, let’s get to it!

2/23 – This was the day that I came back from Death Valley. On the way back, we stopped at a Goodwill. There were a lot of items from Target there, including craft kits. I got some of those. The bad thing about this stop is that the lines were super long. However, I’m happy with the items that I got, including a new purse and some shirts. When we made it back home, I didn’t have a lot of downtime before it was time to go to a family surprise party. I was really looking forward to going to the party and I had a great time. I’m glad I was able to make it to the party.

2/24 – On this day, I had work, but before that, I went to Safeway. One of the first things that I saw when I went into Safeway was some new Hot Wheels cars. I got two of them. Another item that I was really excited about was a set of Peeps finger puppets. I saw this this item before, but I didn’t get it. I decided to get it this time, and I’m happy that I did. I also got a Peeps egg that has a surprise inside. Before work started, I got a Nerf football Valentine’s Day toy and candy set that was on sale. during my break at work, I got another hot wheel car and a Peeps Pez dispenser.

2/25 – I had work again on this day, but I started the day by going to church and getting coffee. After church, I went on a bunch of errands, including going to Trader Joe’s, where I got free stickers. Getting stickers at Trader Joe’s is one of my new favorite things. At work that day, I got another Valentines’ Day item, a teddy bear that came with a heart-shaped box of chocolate. I also got  two more Easter items, another PEZ dispenser, and a cross shaped lollypop that comes with a bookmark and more. I love all the Easter items that my work has.

2/26 – Another work day and another day that I bought Easter items. I love this cross tin that I got. I also got a Peeps treasure chest.

2/27 – This day at work, I got a hat that was on sale as well as a pair of bunny ears and an Easter necklace. I also got some markers that were on sale and an Easter surpise toy.

2/ 28 – Yesterday was pretty much the same as the days before I  got coffee and went to work. I got a unicorn and two Easter Kinder eggs on my break. It was a beautiful sunny day and I’m missing it already.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Sometimes, I have things that I want to blog about, but I don’t really know how to put them all together, so I just throw them together anyway! I hope you enjoy this post about some random things that I want to write about

I got New Pez dispensers . On Thursday at work, I got three Pez dispensers, including two Barbie Pez dispensers. I was so excited when I saw the new Pez dispensers. I also got a popcorn Pez dispenser. It is so cute! I’m happy that I added a few more Pez dispensers to my collection.

Saturday fun -I had work on this day, but I had time before work started to enjoy the day. I got two of my favorite surprise toys that come in chocolate. Hidden in the chocolate were two very cute baby animal toys, a seal, and a bird. Also, before work, I went to Starbucks and the park with my mom. It was a nice day, and it was good to get outside. Before I clocked in for my shift, I bought some Valentine’s Day items. During my break, I got some other items, including clearance items. It was a pretty good day.

I want summer to hurry up and get here! I wrote a whole article about this on vocal media. (You can read it HERE ) I’m planning some really fun things for this summer, and I can’t wait for summer to finally get here!

I love the pictures I took of my bed yesterday! I made my bed yesterday and put a bunch of my stuffed animals nicely on my bed. I follow the clutter core aesthetic. I wrote an article about clutter core on vocal media a while ago. ( You can read it HERE )

There, you have it some random things I felt like blogging about. Are there any random thoughts on your mind today ?

Three pretty great days

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I hope you are starting your week on a good note. I’m happy to say that I’ve had some fun days recently and I want to share them with you. Without any more of a delay, here we go!

Friday 01/ 19

On this day, my shift at work started in the late afternoon. Before work I got coffee. I always find coffee to be comforting, but on these gloomy days, it is extra comforting. After getting coffee, I went to work. Before I started my shift I did some shopping. I love the fun Valentine’s Day items that we have in the store right now. I got some Valentine’s cards that come with stickers, a really cute pen with a cat on top, and a bracelet that looks like a butterfly. In addition to the Valentine’s Day items, I got a Barbie pop reveal toy. During my breaks, I bought some other items, including heart-shaped stacking crayons, Valentine’s Day Kinder Eggs, and two Hot Wheels cars. I also had soup for lunch, and that is also very comforting on a gloomy day. This was a very normal day, but it was a good one.

Saturday 01/20 I was very excited on this day because It was the day that I was going to see a friend that I had not gotten to see in a long time! We meet at a pizza place . It was great to see her. After lunch, we went to the candy store where I got a pop-ups pop that came with a blue shark lollipop holder. After that we went to the toy store. It had been a while since I had been there. There were a lot of very cute things there. I got some stickers, two My Little Pony toys, and some of those cute suction cup critters. After that my friend and I went to a coffee shop. We stayed there for a while and talked. I did not want our time together to come to an end, but I had to get to work. While on break at work. I got some more Valentine’s Day cards that come with stickers. I also got two boxes of model magic that were on clearance. It goes without saying that today was a great day.

Sunday 01/ 21

I also had work on this day, but I started off the day with coffee and church. I love being at church it is always great to see everyone. After church service, we had nachos with other church members . It was great to hang out and socialize for a little bit before going home. At home, we took down some outdoor Christmas lights, and before I knew it, it was time to go to work. I got more coffee before work. During my break, I did get two of the chocolates that come with animal toys. It was a good day at work and an overall good day in general.

Thanks for reading about some of my everyday fun!

The little things I enjoyed on Sunday and Monday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends. One of my favorite sayings is enjoy the little things. I wanted to highlight the little things I loved on Sunday and Monday. Without any more delay, let’s get to it!

Sunday – I started work later in the day. I sept in and took it easy until it was time to leave for work. Before work, I went to Safeway, where I got food and a hot wheels car. Then I went to get coffee. After that, I went to work early so I could buy something before I had to clock in. I bought this super cute Melissa and Doug sticker activity kit. Also, during my day at work, I got two chocolates that have toys inside and a container of squishy toys that are part of our Valentines Day seasonal items.

Monday – I had this day off! I slept in again, and I took it easy until my mom and I went into town. Our first stop was coffee, of course, then Pet Co, where I saw some very cute kittens. After Pet Co, I went to my favorite local party supplies store. I have been coming here since I was a kid. Being there made me feel young again. I got four pencils for a dollar because that’s something I would have gotten as a kid. I also got some some plastic sea animals, rubber ducks, a Pez disperser that is shaped like a truck, and a pen with a plastic heart on top. After that we went for a walk in the park. There is supposed to be rain coming this way soon, so it was nice to get outside for a walk. After our walk, I went to the movie theater to pick up a prize pack that I had won. Before walking back to the car, I went to the candy store, and I got some of the stickers that they had there.

There you have it some of the little things that I have enjoyed lately!

Lots of clearance shopping and buying new seasonal items

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! As some of you know, I work at Walgreens. One of my favorite sections of the store is the seasonal isle. Right now, there are some big changes going on in the seasonal isle. The Christmas items are on clearance, and the Valentines Day items are being put on the shelves. We are also putting out more outdoor toys. I have done my fair share of clearance shopping. I’m surprised at how many times are left. I’ve gotten some great clearance items, including a gel timer and surprise toys that also come with candy, a leopard print tumbler, a bucket of fake snow that has toys inside, nail stickers, GooToobz toys, a Squishmallow hooded blanket, and a drawing game. I’ve also been getting some of the new seasonal items. I got some Valentine’s Day Pez dispensers, a bucket of outdoor toys, and a squishy toy shaped like an ice cream cone. I’m excited to see what seasonal items will be on the shelves next! Have you bought any clearance items this year?

The end of 2023 and the start of 2024

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is great to be here in 2024! I wanted to write a quick post about how 2023 ended for me and how 2024 started. The time between Christmas and New Years is kind of weird. However, I was able to do some fun things during that time. I went to the Goodwill where I got some books, a Barbie horse with saddle, and two Barbie dolls that I believe are from the 90s. Right after that, I went to Target, where I got a bunch of bath bombs on sale , a Pez dispenser, a Kinect Sand playset, and two rubber ducks. There was also a day when I went to brunch with my sister and after that I went to the Dollar Tree. At the Dollar Tree, I got some fun items blind bag toys, and some Valentine’s Day items. On the last day of the year, I went to church, Target, Burger King, and my friends house, where we celebrated the new year. It was hard to stay up, but we did it! The next day, we ended up going to the mall it was a great way to start the new year. Since the new year has started, things have been pretty much the same. Recently, I got a Squishmallow at work that was on sale for a dollar. I also got a notebook and gel pens. I am looking forward to the adventures that I will have this year. I pray that all of you have a happy and safe new year!

spending time with my friend, looking at Christmas lights, and shopping at the Goodwill blogmas day 10

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

Christmas coloring craft! Blogmas day 8

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Today, I did a Christmas themed craft kit that I got at the Dollar Tree. It was a simple coloring craft kit. The kit came with a cute tote bag and some markers. I loved the cute gingerbread people on the bag. I had a fun time doing this project. I find coloring to be a very relaxing activity. I highly recommend getting simple craft kits, especially for Christmastime!

A snowman craft kit and peppermint bliss blogmas day 5

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends ! Somehow, it is already December 5th ! Yesterday, I had the day off, and during my quick trip into town, I got a peppermint mocha at Starbucks and a candy cane at Safeway. I have loved peppermint for a very long time, and I get excited when I see peppermint flavored treats in stores. I was truly in peppermint bliss yesterday with both of the treats that I got. I also decided to make a snowman wreath with a craft kit that I had gotten at a thrift store. I did not see any directions, so I did my own thing. I’m happy with the way that it turned out even though it is different than the picture on the front of the package. It was a fun and cute craft kit, and I’m glad I put it together yesterday.
