Thrift shopping again, Dollar Tree, and lots of coffee

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I’m here to tell you about my weekend! This weekend wasn’t super exciting, but I did go to the Dollar Tree for the first time in a while. I also went to my favorite local thrift store again, and I got some fun items, including a Ty beanie buddy plush! Now that I have properly introduced this blog post, let’s get to it!

Friday – On this day, I left early for work. I was working the opening shift, and I have had some difficulty getting rides with Uber lately, so I called for an Uber much earlier than usual. This was a good thing, though, because not only did I get a ride without stress, I  had time to get coffee and go to the thrift store before work. At the thrift store, they were having a sale on plush toys. I was very happy when I saw a Ty beanie buddy on the shelf. I didn’t see any other plush toys that I wanted to add to my collection, but I did find more items that I wanted to take home with me. I got some books including an activity book. I also got some fun stickers and a bookmark. After shopping I went to work and it went well. I was also able to go to the candy store. It was a good start to my weekend.

Saturday – I had the day off. My biggest highlight of the day was getting go shopping at the Dollar Tree. I had not been to the Dollar Tree for a while, and I was happy to go and see what fun items I could find. I was happy to see that there were  summer items available. I got a package of two summer themed cups in the seasonal section. I didn’t find anything that was super exciting, but I did get some fun items, including a new hair bow, stickers, and a Crayola brand toothbrush set. While I was out, I also got a squishy toy at the hardware store, an iced coffee at McDonald’s, and Kinder Joy eggs at Safeway. I miss the Easter Kinder Joy eggs, but the NBA ones are pretty cool. It was a pretty good day!

Sunday – On this day, I worked the closing shift at work. However, I started my day off the best way you can start a Sunday, in my opinion. With coffee and church! After church, my parents and I went into town, and we had lunch at Baja Fresh. I got the veggie bowl that I normally get there. It is really good. I recommend it. It was also the last day to buy girl scout cookies, so we bought some. Thin mints are my favorites! When I got dropped off for work, I still had some time before my shift started, so I got an iced coffee at the coffee shop by my work. My shift went well, and after work, I went on a walk at the park. It was a good way to end my weekend

Another delivery, thrift shopping and a beautiful walk

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends it is the time for another weekend blog post! I know my posts have not been very exciting lately, but summer is on the way, and like I said in my last weekend post. I have big plans for the summer, including bucket list items! However, I did enjoy some of my favorite things this weekend, such as shopping and coffee. I think that is enough introduction for this post, so let’s get to it!

Friday – I had this day off.  However, I was in need of some food items, so I did another Walmart order through Instacart. I mainly ordered the food items that I needed, but I did add some fun items to my order. Those fun items were a bag of colorful craft sticks, two Kinder Joy eggs, one blind bag Barbie pets toy, and a bag of puzzle piece shaped magnets that you can decorate. After I received my delivery, I got creative with the craft sticks that I ordered. My original plan was to make shapes out of the craft sticks by gluing them together with hot glue. However, I was unable to find a hot glue gun. With some inspiration from Pintrest, I decided to glue the craft sticks on paper with a glue stick and then draw on them. I really enjoyed doing this. I had a fun time coming up with designs that I wanted to draw.   

Saturday – I worked the closing shift on this day, but I went into town early because I had some things that I wanted to do before work. I also wanted to avoid traffic. When I got to town, I went to my favorite local thrift store that I have been going to a lot lately. I did not know if I would find much since it had not been a very long time since I had last been there. The first item that I put in my shopping basket was a  Squishmallow toy. I’m still not planning on collecting them, but I will probably get them every now and then when I see one for a good price. My other big find find were some Crayola crayons that I’m pretty sure are both from the 80s. One package had a year on it. I also got two books, two bookmarks, some stickers including beach themed stickers, and a hat. After I bought my items, the thrift store staff gave me a drawstring bag for the things that I bought. After the thrift store, I went to the candy store. I got two items, including a fan that has candy inside it also has a dog from Paw Patrol on top of it. The other item I got was a lollypop that has different flavors on it, and it spins around like a windmill. I walked around for a little bit before going to the coffee shop that I usually go to. After spending some time at the coffee shop, I went to work. I enjoyed my day at work, and when I got picked up, I went to the park with my mom and the neighbor’s dog. I had a good time at the park. After stopping at home for a little bit, I went back out to do some shopping. The big highlight of my nighttime shopping trip was getting Kinder Joy eggs and my favorite fruit snacks at Safeway. It was a busy day, but it was also a great day.

Sunday – I had the day off, and I took it easy for most of the day, but I did get to go on a walk and see my favorite ponies. It was a beautiful day, and since we have gotten a lot of rain this year, we have beautiful flowers and green grass all around us most of the time during our walk. After our walk, we did go into town. I was excited to go to Starbucks since it had been a little while since I had last gone there. I was very happy to get an iced coffee after my walk. I also needed to get cough drops, so I went to Walgreens. At Walgreens, I looked at the Easter section. I did not think I would find anything thing else that I would want since I had already gone there on Monday. However, since everything was deeply discounted, I wanted to see if there was anything else that would interest me. I ended up getting two Easter ring pops and a plush animal in a plastic egg. I was very happy to find those items because I did not see them on Monday. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a good way to end the weekend.

Thank you for reading about my weekend fun!

Toy store fun ,special deliveries, and a blessed Easter Sunday

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I hope all of you had a great Easter! I know that a lot of people are on vacation around this time. Unfortunately, I’m not one of them. However, summer is on the way, and I’ve got big plans, including plans to cross off a fair amount of bucket list items! I’m kind of disappointed that I have not crossed any items of my list in 2023 yet, but if things go according to plan, that will change in June. For now, it is time to talk about my weekend! Let’s get to it!

Friday – On this day, I worked the closing shift. Before work, I made a stop at the toy store. I’m really excited about the Breyer horse toy that I got. It comes with three horses. I also got a Pez dispenser, some stickers and more. Of course, I went to my normal place for coffee before going to work. The work day went pretty well as it normally does. It was Good Friday, but because I was working, I was unable to go to church, but it was on my heart and mind. I even drew some crosses and hearts on the sleeve of my coffee cup. After work, I went to the candy store, and I got a bag of some of my favorite lollipops!

Saturday – I had the day off. I decided to do my shopping for the day through my phone. I used Instacart and Uber eats to have items delivered to my house . For my Instacart order, I shopped at Walmart. I ordered food items that I needed, but I also got some fun items as well. Those fun items included stickers, a wooden cactus, two Barbie pets blind bag toys, and a sand castle mold. Some of my items had to be replaced with other items. A craft kit that I ordered was replaced with a paint set, and the bouncy balls were replaced with some very cute stamps. Overall, I was very happy with my instacart order, but I was sad about one item that had to be refunded, so I decided to order from CVS using the Uber Eats app. I ordered five items, but because it was the day before Easter, a lot of the Easter items were out of stock. I got three out of the five items I wanted, and I was very happy with what I did get. I was very excited to get a little Pez dispenser that came in a plastic egg. I also got a bath bomb with a prize inside and a can of iced coffee. The coffee was really good. I posted a reel of me trying it on my Instagram page. ( summerrockstar) I also used the paint set I got from Walmart to help me paint my wooden cactus later on that day. I also used some paint that I already had. I really like the way my cactus art project turned out. I also got a visit from the neighbor’s dog that day. I was a pretty great day!

Sunday – I also had this day off, and it was a special day because it was Easter Sunday! It was a beautiful sunny day outside, and even though I did not go anywhere, I still put on a dress for Easter. I made some pasta, and I put some veggies and bread on the side to make a little Easter feast for myself. My neighbor’s dog also came over. I decided put together the Barbie puzzle that I got at my favorite local thrift store. I thought the puzzle had all the pieces, but there were some that were missing. However, those pieces were at the bottom of the puzzle, so it did not impact the overall picture. It was a relaxing day.

Thanks for reading about my weekend!

The weekend where I said goodbye to March and hello to April

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list friends! I know this post is on the later side since it is already Thursday. However this week has been kind of busy so now is finally the time to talk about my weekend. Let’s get to it!

Friday – On this day, I had the day off. I stayed home most of the day, but I went to Whole Foods that evening. I got some yummy foods like soup and my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. I also got this super cute bath scrubby that is shaped like a crab. Some other things that I got were lip balm and cinnamon mints. After Whole Foods, I went to Panera bread to get coffee since I had not had any that day. I love the hazelnut coffee at Panera Bread. It was a pretty good day.

Saturday – This was the first day of April. I worked the closing shift this day, but I had to get dropped off early, so I had a lot of time before my shift began. I was actually excited to be able to be in town because I wanted to go to my favorite local thrift store. I ended up getting more items than I thought I would get. The first thing I got was an American Girl fashion studio kit. After that, I found many more items, including a Build a Bear plush, American Girl books, three Barbie dolls, a pair of sunglasses, and a button from Super Bowl 1985. I was excited to find the button because I think it is fun to find items that were made before I was born. I also got a Barbie mirror and some stickers. After my thrift shopping fun, I still had a lot of time before my shift.  I walked around for a while, then I went to the candy store, and I got a Pez dispenser. My last stop before work was the local coffee shop that I often go to before work. After I stayed there for a while, I went to work and the day went well. When my mom picked me up from work, we went for a walk in the park. It was a great way to end the day.

Sunday – I had the day off today, and I was excited to go to church. I was able to get some coffee before going to church. The church service was good. I really enjoy going. After church, I went to Starbucks. Yes, I got more coffee. Then we went for another walk at the same park that we went to the day before. It was a simple but good day.

Thank you for reading about my weekend I hope you are all having a wonderful week.

Thrift shopping, Pez dispensers, and sunshine

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is another one of those weekends in review posts. The best thing about this weekend was the sunshine! There has been a lot of much needed rain in my area this month, but it was nice to see the sun out. This weekend was pretty normal, but it was also pretty good, so let’s get to it!

Friday – On this day, I opened the store where I work. Before my shift, I went and got coffee at the local coffee shop that I usually go to before work. Work went well, and after work, I decided to go to my favorite local thrift store. This store has limited hours, so I was happy that I had a little bit of time to go there after work. At the thrift store, I got some American Girl books, some stickers, and a Disney World postcard. However, my very favorite thing that I got is a Barbie puzzle from the 1990s. The puzzle has all of the pieces, but it no longer has the stickers that it originally came with. I’m so happy I went to the thrift store after work. When I was done at the thrift store, I met my mom nearby, and we went to Starbucks and the park. It was a very beautiful day and I really enjoyed being at the park. This day was a great way to start the weekend.

Saturday – On this day, I worked the closing shift. Before work, I went on a walk to go see my favorite ponies. I had not seen them in a while, so it was good to see them again. We brought them carrots, and they were very happy about that. After our walk, I went on a few errands, including going to Walgreens to get new Pez dispensers. I also got Kinder Joy eggs at Safeway and bananas with Disney stickers on them at Trader Joe’s. Even after running errands, I still had time to go to my regular local coffee shop before work. It was very beautiful outside, so I walked around a little outside before work began. My shift went well, and it was a good day overall.

Sunday – It was another beautiful day, and I really enjoyed the sunshine! I went to Starbucks, and I got an iced coffee. I also worked the closing shift it was a normal but good day!

Thanks for reading about my weekend !

Hey, look, it’s another weekend blog post!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends, and happy Monday! It is time for another what I did this weekend blog post. I guess I haven’t gotten tired of writing these yet. I actually kind of look forward to writing these posts each week, and that is kind of funny because with my current job, I work at least one day during the weekend. Last week I worked Friday and Saturday. I also worked yesterday, so every day I talk about in this post will be a work day. Alright, with all that being said, let’s get to it!

Friday – On this day, I worked the closing shift. Before my shift started, I went to Starbucks and the toy store that is close to my work. At the toy store, I got two eggs that have a squishy toy inside, plus other surprises. I also got a PEZ dispenser, some fun shaped erasers, and a toy that has suction cups so that it can be stuck to different surfaces. After shopping at the toy store, I walked to work to begin my shift. Friday was also St. Patrick’s Day, and there was a big celebration going on close to my work. I got to hear the band playing while I was working. I felt like I was part of the celebration even though I was at work. After work, I went to Safeway. In addition to basic food items, I also got three more Kinder Joy eggs! It was a good way to start the weekend.

Saturday – I also worked the closing shift on this day. Before going to work, I went to a few places, including Walgreens. At Walgreens, I got some stuff I needed like shampoo, but I also got some fun things. In the Easter section, I got two light up toy chicks, a pen that also lights up and has a carrot on top, and a plush bunny that is also a bracelet. I also got a tin of mints for my purse. In addition to Walgreens, I went to Petco ,Starbucks, and the park before going to work. I really enjoyed walking in the park. It was not super sunny when we were at the park, but it was not raining either. The park was not very busy and that was nice. Work went well, and I went home afterward. It was a pretty good day.

Sunday – This day, I worked the opening shift. I went to a local coffee shop before the shift started. I also went to the candy store, and I got some vegan gummy bears and taffy. I had a pretty good day at work, and I went home afterward. However, I decided I needed more coffee and some food as well. I ordered Panera Bread on Uber Eats. I was so happy when it was derived. I love their hazelnut coffee so much! A delivery from Panera Bread is a good way to end your weekend.

Thank you for reading and have a blessed week.

Target , lots of Kinder joy eggs and of course coffee

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Happy Monday! I have the day off today, and it feels so good to just sit at the computer and write. Anyways, it is time for another blog post about what I did over the weekend. I don’t think I need any more introduction than that, so let’s get to it!

Friday – I had this day off, and I spent most of the day at home. However, that evening, I went out to dinner with family. After dinner I went to one of my favorite places and that place is a target. At Target, I looked at the Barbie section, but I didn’t get anything from there. I did, however, get a lot of items from the seasonal section. Target had a lot of fun Easter items. I was excited to see all the PEZ dispensers that they had. I wanted to get the lamb one, and I was very happy that they had it in stock. I also got a bunny PEZ dispenser, two Crayola Scribble Scrubbies , an Easter bath bomb with a prize inside, Kinder Joy eggs, and a bag of Easter toys. I’m really glad that went shopping in the Easter section there were so many fun things to choose from. 

Saturday – I had work in this day, but I was working the closing shift, so I had some time before work. I decided  to do an art project before work, but instead of doing an art kit from my room, I went online, and I printed out some bookmarks to color. If you want to color your own book marks, click HERE. I had fun coloring my own fruit themed bookmarks. Before work, I went to Starbucks. I got a larger coffee than I have been getting because the gloomy weather had been making me feel tired. Work was busy, but when I got off, I was happy that my mom needed to go to Safeway. At Safeway, my favorite things I got were Kiner Joy eggs and my favorite fruit snacks that come with trading cards. When I got home, I made pasta for dinner, and that was my day.

Sunday – Yesterday, I had the day off, and I started my Sunday in the best way possible, I went to church. I’ve been feeling stressed lately, so it was really good for me to take a break and remember the most important things in life. After church, we had some errands to run. My favorite errand we went on was going to McDonald’s to get coffee. However, I was also excited about the banana candy that I got at Trader Joe’s. I have seen pictures of this candy online, and I had been wanting to try it.I did enjoy this candy, but it was very sweet, However if you like chocolate and bananas, I recommend trying it.

Thank you for reading! Have a blessed week!

Pretty pez dispensers and even more Kinder Joy eggs!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! I know that it is now the middle of the week, but I now have the time and energy to share what I did last weekend. So without any more delay let’s get to it.

Friday – on this day, I worked the opening shift. Before work, I went to Starbucks to get my fuel for the day. It was a cold and gloomy day. However, my highlight was going to Safeway after work. I got a large cupcake that had three butterfly shaped rings on top! I also got three more Easter themed Kinder Joy eggs! The toys that they come with have been super cute so far! Getting Kinder Joy eggs is always a good way to start the weekend.

Saturday – I also had work on this day, but I worked the closing shift. Before work, I went to CVS. I was excited to go here because last time I was here, I saw that they had a bunch of very pretty Easter themed Pez dispensers! I picked out three pez dispensers. One is a bunny, one is a yellow chick, and the last one is a blue peeps chick! In addition to my pez dispensers, I got a Jelly Belly sparkling water and a Peeps bunny flashlight! After my shopping trip, it was time to go to Starbucks and get coffee before going to work. Work went well, and after work, I went to a game night at a neighbor’s house. While I was there, I got to hug one of my favorite dogs. It was a good day.

Sunday – On Sunday, I had the day off it was raining almost all day. I stayed home for most of the day, but I did get out in the evening. I went to Starbucks, and then I went on a walk in the park with my mom and the dog we were watching. It was not raining very hard, and the dog really needed to walk. It was a nice walk because except for one other person we had the park to ourselves. It makes me want to go to the park more often on rainy days. After our walk, I went to Trader Joes, and I got some everyday food items, but my highlight was getting a tin of ginger mints. I love cinnamon mints the most, but I didn’t see them there, so I went for the ginger mints. I have had them before and I liked them a lot. I’ve already been enjoying them this week. This weekend was pretty normal but also pretty good.

Thanks for reading!

My first movie of 2023 plus going to Target and more!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! Another weekend has come to an end so now I’m going to write about it! This weekend was full of some of my favorite things, and I can’t wait to tell you about it. without any more delay, here we go!

Friday – I worked the closing shift on this day, but I went into town a little early, so I would have time to go to the toy store before my shift started. At the toy store, I got some frog stickers, a ring shaped like a panda head, a toy car, and two shaped erasers. After the toy store, I still had a good amount of time before work, so I went to the candy store where I got a lollipop that has purple sparkly lips on the stick. After all of that, I still had one more thing to do before my shift started. I went to get coffee at a local coffee shop that is close to my work. Then I went to work. Work went well, I love being in a store that is full of beautiful plants.

Saturday – I had this day off, and I made sure to plan some fun things for the day. I got tickets to see 80 for Brady, a movie that I had been wanting to. If you have not heard of this movie, I recommend looking it up. The movie theater we went to was located in my favorite mall. We had some time before the movie so we went to Claire’s. They were having the three for three sale that they have often. I went to the clearance rack, and I got some fun items, including a hair bow and a ring. After Claire’s, we walked back to the theater. I got coffee, and my mom got tea at the theater. Then it was movie time. I won’t give anything away, but the movie was so good. I highly recommend going to see it. It was a lot of fun to watch and it was also inspiring. After the movie, we went to the Target that is part of the mall. At Target, I got another My First Barbie doll. I already had the one with blond hair, so this time, I got the one with brown hair. I’m excited to have this doll in my collection. In the dollar section, I got two small craft kits and a Disney activity kit. After that, we left the mall and went to the hardware store to get some bird seed. At the hardware store, I got two squishy toys. Before we went home, we went to Starbucks, and I got coffee and a cakepop. It was a good way to wrap up my adventures for the day. I went home and relaxed, but I did get a visit from my neighbor’s very cute dog. I also made pasta for dinner. It was a really fun day.

Sunday – I worked the opening shift this day. Of course, I went to Starbucks before going to work. After a normal day at work , my mom picked me up, and we stopped at Safeway before going home to watch the Super Bowl. At Safeway, in addition to food items, I also got a cute bunny toy at Safeway. I did enjoy watching the Super Bowl, but I was hoping for more from the commercials. However, there were a few commercials that did stand out, but overall, they were not as good as they have been in previous years. I really liked the Amazon add with the dog. I wish there would have been more ads like that. Anyways, watching the Super Bowl was a good way to end the weekend.

Thanks for reading about my weekend fun !

The weekend where I spilled a lot of coffee, but I also got Hot Wheels cars

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This weekend was a bit of a roller coaster!There were lots of ups and downs, but I’m once again reminded that God is in control, and it’s a good thing that he is in charge, and I’m not.

Friday – This day was the most normal of the three days. I went to work and enjoyed my time in the plant store. I must be breathing really good air because there are a lot of plants in the small store. Before work, I went and got Starbucks, and I also got Starbucks after work. However, this is the one day I’m gonna tell you about where I didn’t spill coffee everywhere! After my second trip to Starbucks,my mom and I went to Whole Foods. I got some good stuff there, but the two items that I was the most excited about were a tin of cinnamon mints and a box of fruit snacks. I got a different brand of fruit snack than I normally do. However, this brand also comes with trading cards! It was a good way to start the weekend.

Saturday – This day started off pretty well. I was working the closing shift at work. I spent the morning taking it easy at home. Before work,we went to get coffee. After picking up the coffee, we went to Safeway. As we were in the Safeway parking lot, the lid fell off my coffee as I was holding it. Coffee went everywhere! My jeans were soaked with coffee! I hate wearing wet denim. It is so uncomfortable. The good thing was that I had a backpack in the car that had clothes in it. I put a towel over my lap and quickly changed. However, the pants I got out of the backpack were actually capris, so that meant I had to get a razor to make my legs appropriate. I was stressed, but I was looking forward to getting Kinder Joy eggs in Safeway. I got four Kinder Joy eggs, but I also got some Hot Wheels cars. There was a sale on them. One of the cars that I got is a model of a car made in the 80s. The other one looks like it’s covered in toy blocks. I was happy to get some more toys to add to my collection. When I got back to the car, I used lotion to shave my legs. I felt relieved because everything fell into place. The coffee incident was stressful, but I was ready to go to work anyway. I was happy to see my plant friends, and I made a cute reel about working in a plant store. ( My Instagram username is summerrockstar if you want to see it ) Oh, and it was also Alice Cooper’s birthday. I made a special post for his birthday. The day turned out well, even though it had a very stressful moment.

Sunday – I had the day off, but I did go into work for a moment to help with something really quickly. After that, we went to Starbucks. I would soon find out that I was not done with spilling coffee all over myself. While I was ordering coffee on my phone, I accidentally ordered two of my drinks instead of one for me and one for my mom. I did another order for her. I thought that would be the end of my coffee problems, but I was wrong. First, during a turn, the two coffees in the cup holder tipped over and spilled all over my mom while she was driving. The good thing was that there was still plenty of coffee in the drinks that tipped over. However, the drink that I was holding in my lap fell over shortly after the other coffees tipped over. This time, all of the coffee spilled out. This was very stressful, but at least I still had a coffee to drink. The good thing is that the day got better because we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant. The food was amazing. It was a good end to a kind of crazy day.

Thanks for reading about my coffee spilling weekend
