Lots of minions

June 20: My friend asked if I wanted to go to the city pool party on 7/10, so I tried on my swimsuit on the 19th, it's been awhile since I wore it and it's definitely too small. Made an appointment with my eyeglasses guy on Monday after my dr's appointment, my friend said she could give me a ride, so I'll be looking for a swimsuit as well.
I had a crappy night on the 19th, so I opened a piece of birthday mail:
I picked the right one, the words on this card, totally helped. Some goodies:
I have enough pieces of birthday mail to open one a day and have ones leftover for my birthday, I won't I'll just open them if I'm having a bad day.
I put together a Send Me Something pretty:
I've been waiting for the perfect person to send this bookmark to, this person's last name starts with an F.
I got a swap ready to mail:
She likes Sticko stickers, project life cards, journals. I threw in some other stuff.
 June 21: Picked up this cute tankini:
It looks really nice on. We got to Walmart about 9:35, and found the bikini. My appointment was at 9:45, the line with an actual cashier was kinda long, so I decided to try the self-checks and then scanned the top twice, and didn't notice it until later when I was at home. My eye dr is in the Walmart, waited until about 9:55 for someone to come out and help and then until 10:15 to actually see the dr. She didn't recheck my eyes, like the dr last year, I still find that strange. She didn't really have an answer as to why I was having issues, but tweaked the prescription so it was closer to my old one (again what they did last year), I wonder when I get my eyes checked in the future (which might be about 5 years because of all the issues I'm having), will it be as hard to get used to a new prescription then? I've never had issues getting used to a prescription, that's why it's bothering me so much. Got done about 10:45, just barely made it on time to my eyeglasses place at 11. Now I have to wait another week to get the glasses back, so won't be showing them off on Friday. 
Went to Walmart afterwards. Actually we went to an Asian Food Store, but I didn't find anything fun to get, so we went to Walmart because it was right there.

Picked up some Minion decoration kit, some gummies, a key lime pie Kit Kat, some dried mango strips and a cute unicorn sticker.
We went to HyVee afterwards where I picked up some peanut M&M's for mom and a Twin Bing for dad and some lunch for me.
I saw these yummy looking layer cakes:

They are mango, I texted my brother saying I wanted something decadent and fancy like this for my birthday.
I received a secret sister swap:
So much stuff was in a flat rate medium Priority mail box, it was heavy when I picked it up. I'm excited about all the Minion stuff and the cute kawaii items. Not so much about the glitter, coloring book, diamond painting, gnome door.

Or the liquid facemask, stationary set, gnome or green post its. 
I saw this sweet car on my way to work, not really sure what it is, I snapped a picture as it was driving by.
I also received a wish for happy mail:
And another wish for happy mail:
Work was ok, we were short a person due to vacation, lots of people seem to be taking vacation this week.
June 22: I put together a blue swap:
A wish for bookmarks:
A wish for a stationery set:
A wish for stickers:
I had to go back to Walmart to get a refund for the bikini top, I used my self-control and didn't even shop there. I did however stop at Dollar Tree, for being there a week ago, they had a bunch of new stuff. I can totally see why people go every week.
Picked up some cute pom pom paper clips, a loofah, cat sticky notes a couple unicorn phone holders, an orange cupcake snack, some 6x9 envelopes, a couple of packs of foam tape, some tissue paper and some sticky notes.
I've seen people haul these paper clips, I think they are so cute. I picked up the loofah for my trip. I picked up the unicorn phone holders for the unicorns, they totally looked cheap, I took the unicorns off when I got home. Picked up the envelopes because I'm not entirely sure where mine went, I'm sure they're in a box. The tissue paper is for a friend.
And stickers. They just had all these cute ones, I can't help it.
I received a Red, White and Blue swap in the mail:
Not really impressed with it. These used to be so fun, but the last few times I'm getting stuff I'll never use. Like the ribbon, the alpha stickers, the mini clothespins and the confetti.
Also received a purple tag:
Not impressed.
And a flower pocket letter:
This was the win of the day.
The back:
And the goodies:
I haven't packed for 2 days, just too busy taking care of other things. I'm done shopping for a while. I do have the junkin jaunt on Friday and a handmade fair on Sunday, but I'm done shopping until after my trip, even when my glasses come in next week (I hope), I'm not going shopping anywhere. I might buy my friend lunch for her giving me a ride all these times. I keep telling myself I should finish some books I have out, but then I keep thinking I should be packing. I read a bunch on Sunday, that felt really nice.
