Ending May and welcoming summer 2025

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! My favorite time of year is here, but I have some more things to say about my life in May before I move on to my summer adventures, so let’s get to it !

May 28th – I had this day off, and I got coffee and went to the park. It was a nice relaxing day off.

May 29th – On this day I worked on putting my summer bucket list game together. I love my summer notebook already. I can’t wait to see how many items I can cross off. At work I got a juice that had a fun Hot Wheels topper on it.

May 30th – On this day at work I got some fun clearance items! I got two Hello Kitty lip balms for less than a dollar each. I also got two cute bath sponges. I love finding fun items on clearance! The clarence finds were a bright spot to a challenging day. I don’t want to go into details but this day was one of the more challenging days that I’ve had in my life. I’m really glad that day is behind me now.

May 31st – On the last day of the month, I got two surprise toys. I had another challenging day but the surprise toys made it a little better.

My first mall trip of 2025 !

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I recently went to the mall for the first time this year! I love going to the mall, and I did some of my favorite things there, including a massage. I’m excited to tell you about to, so let’s get to it.

February 26th 2025

I had this day off, and I was excited to go to the mall to get a massage, shop at Claires, and get Taco Bell. I went to the massage place first. It was crowded, but it was worth it. After getting some much needed work on my shoulders and back, I went to Claires. They were having a buy three get three sale on everything! I got twelve items. Some of the items I got were hair bows, cute stationery supplies , a set of necklaces, a pen with a squishy duck on it , and a set of cute frog buttons! It was a very successful trip to Claires! Oh, I also got a cute surprise lip gloss at Claires. After my massage and my shopping trip to Claires, I went to the Taco Bell in the food court. I love going to Taco Bell, but the location that was closest to me closed, so since I had an opportunity to go, I went. They had this new birthday cake churro and it was so good ! I knew it would probably be good, but it tasted better than I ever imagined it would! On the way home from the mall, we stopped and got coffee. I really enjoyed my day off!

Thanks for reading

A fun friend day in February

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

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!

Thank you so much for reading!

Stencil art ,celebrating Valentines day and two trips to my favorite party supplies store.

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This month is flying by, and I feel like I have not had time to slow down and blog until now. We already had our major holiday this month so I thought I would write about that and I also did some fun stencil art this month that I wanted to highlight along with two trips to my favorite party store. Without any more introduction, let’s get to it.

2/06/2025 – A trip to the party store and stencil art

I had this day off from work, and I did a few of my favorite things. The first fun thing I did on this day was going shopping at my favorite party supplies store. I was going here to get Valentine’s Day items because Valentine’s Day was coming up soon. When I got to the store, I saw some great Valentines Day items. Some of my favorite items that I got were Valentines Day stickers and stencils. I also got some rubber ducks. Later that day, I used the stencils that I got to make a fun Valentines Day picture. That I finished the next day. I love the way my stencil art turned out.

2/14/2025

On Valentines Day, I had to work, but I did not let that stop me from celebrating. I had gotten my parents a Valentines Day card. I also got little Valentines Day cards that came with candy, and I gave them to my co workers. On my break, I bought myself some Valentines Day gifts, including a rose that came with a plush bear and mug that came with a bear and chocolates. If you don’t have someone to buy you Valentine’s Day gifts, you can always buy it for yourself!

2/15/2025

The day after Valentines Day, I went back to my favorite local party store. I got some bags of surprise toys ,stickers and Barbie glasses ,a big rubber duck, and more! I’ve been going to this same store since I was a child. I have lots of good memories of that store, and I think that is a big reason why I still get excited to go there even though I’m in my 30s. Plus, the store looks pretty much the same as it did when I was younger. Including my favorite section has boxes filled with toys. The pencil display is also the same as it used to be. I hope this store stays there forever!

Thanks for reading about some of my February adventures!
