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!

I also went shopping at Walgreens, and I went to Candy store that I had never been to before. I’m excited to tell you more about it, so let’s get to it!

Friday – I worked the evening shift on this day. Before work, I went to Starbucks and the camdy store.After work, I went to Safeway to stock up on food.

Coffee is always a highlight of my day. After all of that we went to the park for a walk. It was a really nice day. I also went down the slide at the playground . Then it was time to go to work. Work went well. I love being around all the beautiful plants. That night, I made pasta for dinner. I was a good Saturday.

Sunday – I had the day off today. I started the day off by going to get coffee and a doughnut before going to church. It had been I few weeks since I went to church, so it felt good to be back in church. After church we went to get more coffee before going to meet my sister for lunch. For lunch, we went to this pizza place that I had never been to before. I had pasta and veggies . I really enjoyed it. I also got a toy from a vending machine at the restaurant. After lunch, we walked around, and we found a cute spot to take a family picture. As we were walking around town, I saw a candy store, and I had to check it out. I got candy and two rings.

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

Another happy weekend blog post!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! It is time for another post about another weekend. I did work both days this weekend, but since I enjoy my work, it is fine with me. However, I am going to include Friday in this post, and I did have that day off. With that said, let’s get to it!

Friday – As I mentioned above, I did not have work on this day. I ended up staying home all day except for going on a walk to see my neighbor’s ponies. It turns out that they are both ponies! I thought the bigger one was a horse, but now I know for sure that they are both ponies! We gave them carrots and they were very happy about that. I also published a blog post about my job on Friday. ( You can read it HERE) It was a nice relaxing day off.

Saturday – I worked the opening shift on this day. I did have time before work for two of my favorite things, and those things are coffee and thrift shopping. I went to Starbucks, and I did a mobile order like I normally do. However, it was very busy in Starbucks that morning, and it took a little while to get my order, but that was fine. I still had time to go to a local thrift shop before work. At the thrift store, I started in the book section where I got three American Girl books. In the toy section, I got this really cool Crayola activity kit. The other things I got during this thrift shopping trip are a pair of coke a cola sunglasses, a sticker puzzle activity set, a craft punch shaped like a sea horse, and a pen holder.I was happy with my thrift finds for the day. After thrift shopping, I walked to work. I love being at work. I work at an indoor plant store and it is a relaxing place to be. During my break from work, I walked down to the candy store, and I got a small bag of bulk candy, Later on that evening, I went to the store and got some yummy food! It was a good day!

Sunday – On Sunday, I worked the closing shift. I started the day off by getting coffee and a donut and going to church. After church, I had some time before my work started, so I went back home for a while. During work, I went to the candy store again on my break. After work, I got some Kinder Joy eggs at Walgreens. It was a good way to end the weekend.

Thanks for reading about my weekend!

My weekend fun, including Savers and Point Lobos!

Posted on by crazydreamsgirl

Hello, my bucket list, friends! This is another weekend blog post, but I did some really fun things this weekend that I’m excited to tell you about, so let’s get to it!

Friday – The big highlight of this day was going to Savers! This was my first thrift shopping trip of 2023 . I was super excited to go to Savers and see what I could find. However, before we went to Savers, we went to Starbucks. I found some really great items to add to my collection. Two of my favorite items that I got were a Barbie doll and a Barbie book that had a picture of the doll that got on the cover. I didn’t realize that until I got home. It was a pleasant surprise. Some other items I got were an Equestria girls doll, a Barbie matching game, a Ty beanie Boo and My Little Pony party invitations. It was a great thrift shopping trip to start the year with. After thrift shopping, I went to Safeway. I go this really amazing cupcake with two rings on it. Friday was a pretty awesome day.

Saturday – Just like Friday, Saturday was a really great day! My mom and I went to Point Lobos. It is a truly beautiful place. The water was such a beautiful color, and the Cypress trees were very interesting to look at. I had a wonderful time hiking and taking in the beautiful views. I also got some fun souvenirs at this cart that was located by the trail head to the Cypress trail. Point Lobos is definitely worth going to if you get the chance. It was so amazingly gorgeous that it was had to believe that it was actually real at times. I highly recommend adding this location to your bucket list. I wish I had had this location on my bucket list because it was so interesting and beautiful. After exploring Point Lobos, we went to Monterey. In Monterey, we got coffee at a place called Tidal Coffee. The coffee was really good here, and so was the veggie burrito. We also got some fancy soaps at a store on Cannery Row. The soap I got has a unicorn toy in it. Then we met my dad for dinner before driving back home. It was a really wonderful day.

Sunday – This day started off with a walk. We got to see my some of my favorite animal friends on our walk. After our walk, we went into town and we went to Petco, got coffee at Starbucks, walked in the park, and I went to two different grocery stores and CVS. At Safeway, I got this plastic egg that has a surprise toy inside. I also want to add that I went down one of the slides at the park. The rest of the day was spent relaxing at home. It was a great way to end the weekend.

Thanks for reading about my fun filled weekend!
