A bunch of random thoughts on a Friday

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!

Coloring, free stickers, and other things on my mind

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is another one of those blog posts where I just put a whole bunch of things together into one big post. Here we go!

I love this art set that I bought at work – I got this super cute coloring art kit at work that comes with stickers and a stencil sheet. I’ve had a lot of fun coloring the pictures with the cute markers that came with the art kit.

The best back scratcher ever has a smiling apple on top . At my work, we have a display of back scratchers, and they are very affordable. I had been looking at it for a while, and recently, I decided to get this one what had a bamboo pattern and smiling apple on top!

I’ve been writing more on vocal media . My dream job is to be a writer, so I’ve been trying to write more on there to help me gain a wider audience. You can read my latest post HERE.

I got some more free stickers at Trader Joe’s on Friday – I love getting free stickers at Trader Joe’s! All you have to do is ask for them at the checkout. I was very excited when I got the stickers at the end of our shopping trip.

I got two fun things at Safeway on Friday . In addition to groceries, I  got a plastic egg that has stickers and more inside of it and a necklace with clovers on it.

I’ve become a coupon lady – when I went to Safeway yesterday, I took my Safeway app with me. I had clipped a bunch of digital coupons, and it saved me a good amount of money. I also used digital coupons at Target the last time I went there. I highly recommend getting the apps of the stores that you shop at and using digital coupons to save you a lot of money.

I love coffee! I mean, that’s all I really have to say about that !

The things I feel like writing about

Hello, my bucket list, friends! There are times when I just want to blog about things, but I can’t think of a good way to wrap them all up, so I just throw them all together anyway! So here are some of the random things that have been on my mind lately.

The rate that time has been passing lately is making me nervous – The further I get into my 30s, the more I notice how fast time goes. Not only am I shocked that it is already October 2023. I’m shocked that I’m getting into my mid-30s. I often worry that I haven’t accomplished enough by now. However, I also know that I’m very hard on myself, and I’m doing better than I think that I am. I have been worrying about my age, and I know that I shouldn’t be. I just have to keep reminding myself that getting older is a wonderful privilege!

I love buying things that are on sale or clearance! When I’m at work, I get excited when I see items that I want on sale. I’ve gotten some play-doh kits that are 25% off. Another item I got was this really cool glitter tattoo set that was on clearance. I was also extremely happy when I got squishy Barbie toys and a sensory bin on clearance!

I’m happy that I’ve been going to church more regularly . I look forward to going to church each week. I love being around the people there.

Proverbs has become my favorite book of the Bible, and I highly recommend reading it – I’ve been focusing on reading my Bible more than I have in past years. Lately, my book of choice has been Proverbs. It is a book filled with wisdom that everyone could benefit from.

I just got some play-doh brand air dry clay – This is one of the things that I bought at work during my break! I’m excited to see what I can make with it.

Thank you for reading my random thoughts! – Christina Epperly

Forever a work in progress

Hello,my bucket list friends! There are times when I just need to write whatever comes to mind and this is one of those times. This post is going to be a bit disorganized but I hope you enjoy it anyways.

Here we are on Monday morning  getting ready to start a new week. I  have a lot of things running through my mind right now. Especially reflecting on the weekend. I enjoyed a trip to  Savers and I got to have dinner with Amy. I also made some progress on my room. Reorganizing my room has become a huge project. It’s one of those projects that you wish you could complete in a day but there is much more then a day’s worth of  work to do. At this point I’m hoping by the end of the month I’ll have my room the way I want it. I did go shopping at  Savers this weekend but I also donated four bags full of things from my room. I hope that the items I donated will find a wonderful new home. I found some great items to take home with me while I was shopping at Savers including beanie babies and Barbies. One of my favorite things that I got was a Barbie MP3 player that was still in the package. I also got some really cute dresses! I’m thinking about doing a photo shoot in my new dresses and posting them here. I love watching fashion videos on YouTube and I want to start doing some fashion posts on this blog. Let me know if there are any specific fashion posts you would like to see. Since we are talking about random things at the moments, I’m very excited for the new My Little Pony movie that is coming out on Netflix soon! I’ve also been trying to do more art lately. I recently did a penguin art kit.My big goal for this week is two put two more posts up on Vocal Media.I like putting articles on there but I often get busy with other things.

I hope you enjoyed this random post.

If Animals could talk ……

Hello, my bucket list friends I have what I like to call a busy brain. I’m pretty much always thinking ten miles a minute. Random ideas are always popping into my head. Well recently I’ve been thinking about what life would be like if animals could talk. Let me give you some background on this. I have a 21 year old cat named Blanca she is a very sweet and happy cat but she does have kidney disease and because of that we have to give her fluids using a needle and as you can probably guess she does not like this at all. I wish so much that I could tell her why we are doing this and how much it helps her. I wish she could understand that we are caring for her and helping her to be healthier. Then one night I noticed one of my other cats Sherry itching because of fleas so of course I put  flea medicine on her and right away she ran away from me it was like she was scared of me. Once again I wish she could understand that I was helping her.  I feel like some simple communication would solve a lot of the problems that we have when it comes to our animal friends. We could tell the dogs that the mail man is harmless, we could ask the birds not to poop on our cars and we could listen to their endless stories of everything they observe in a day. I think the point of all my random thoughts is this, communication is an important and valuable tool and while we may not be able to talk to the animals we encounter every day we can talk to other people.  Unfortunately we often forget that we have that ability, we sometimes think that by communicating our feelings we are being difficult or dramatic. I do wish animals could tell people how they are feeling and what they need but I also wish that we would use communication more often then we do. I wish people would be quicker to express themselves instead of hiding what they really feel. Now, I’m not saying that people should act out in fits of anger or tell their struggles to everyone they meet no matter how much it hurts. What I’m saying is this we need to take more advantage of this important tool that we have. Feeling left out in your group of friends ? Tell Them how you feel. Struggling with the amount of work or homework you have ? Talk to a coworker ,your boss , classmate or teacher. Some people may think that being open and honest with your feelings makes you week but the truth is it’s one of the smartest things a person can do. by speaking up you may discover that it can help you to solve problems , lead you to people who can assist you with things you may be struggling with, make good relationships better and end relationships that are not healthy and maybe it will make you feel more confident. So you may not be able to tell your dog that its  not necessary to  bark every time a car goes by or ask your fish what decorations they would like to have in their tank but you can tell your friends that your thankful for them, you can tell everyone that asks that you haven’t decided on a career choice yet and you can even ask others if they have anything bottled up inside that they would like to share.  Next time you have something you need to get of your chest remember be respectful , be honest and be a communicator! PS. I wish I could nicely ask my cat to move over on the couch so I can lay down!

The rain makes sleepy and other random thoughts

Hello, My bucket list friends ! So I really wanted to write a blog post but I couldn’t really think of anything to write about so I’m just going to write about whatever random thoughts are in my head ! Here we go !

The rain makes sleepy and other random thoughts

The rain makes me sleepy – I know we need the rain but it does affect my mood . It makes me want to stay in bed all day . It also makes me grumpy because I can’t stay in bed all day and I have to be out it in . It also makes me grumpy when it makes me change my plans . I guess I don’t have a very good relationship with rain.

 

I wonder if my cat knows he’s hurting me when he attacks my foot

My cat Cooper likes to sleep in my bed he also likes to attack my foot when it moves when he is on my bed . I yell at him every time he does it but I wonder if he even knows that it’s my foot he is grabbing. If he does know that it is my foot does he know that it hurts me ? So many questions and not enough answers for this random thought.

 

Will I ever get to live my dream of being on TV

I’ve wanted to be on TV for a very long time . Even if it was just walking past a news camera but it’s never happened .  It is something that I have always day dreamed about but I know it’s so many other’s dream too . So I worry that it will never become a reality but I’ve made so many of my other dreams come true so why not this one ? I should probably stop doubting myself and take another trip down to LA and see what I can do ! I think I would be great on a game show .

Starbucks coffee is great on any day but especially rainy ones – I’m glad I got out of the house today and got some tasty coffee from Starbucks . I love it even in the summer but there is just something perfect about having coffee on a rainy gloomy day .

It was to rainy to walk but I still got my steps in – My mom and I were going to go walking today but with the rain switching on and off so fast, We knew that we would probably get caught in the rain and get soaking wet ! So that didn’t happen but I was still able get my steps for the day in !

I hope you enjoyed my random thoughts !

Rock on ! – Christina Epperly
