Happy to be Alive, Because: Tiny Pumpkins + High Word Counts.

1. Gatsby has his own tiny pumpkin. He thinks it's the greatest thing that has ever happened to him and is carrying it around with him. I melt.


2. Toy Story 4 is happening. Buzz + Woody forever.

3. I've started planning my Christmas list and there are few things that make me happier than getting to buy other people presents. It's so exciting!

4. We carved pumpkins this week! Fall activities are approximately one billion times better when you're in love with the person you're doing them with.


However, my pumpkin was so incredibly terrible that the internet shall never ever see it.


5. I'm pretty on track with NaNoWriMo so far! I've got a little over 8,000 words done right now. If you're participating, tell me your word count! I want to know how everyone's doing!

Why are you happy to be alive this week?

  2. Christmas shopping is my FAVORITE. Of all time. I keep a running list in my phone whenever someone mentions something throughout the year, so I've got a decent head start on my ideas these year. But I can't wait to get started shopping!

    As much as I loved finding out that Toy Story will be returning for a fourth season, I'm even more thrilled that Downton Abbey is coming back for a 6th season! Woohoo!! LOL

  35. Gatsby and his pumpkin is way too cute! Love it. Also, yay for Toy Story 4!

  36. Haha Gatsby looks so pleased with his pumpkin. What a cutie!! I never thought to get my girl a mini pumpkin. She probably would have hid it in the couch or something and I'd only find in a few weeks because of the smell! As for pumpkin carving, we didn't even try this year. We just put the full pumpkin out on the steps. It looked much better that way!

  37. How cute that Gatsby got his own pumpkin! Um, how did I not know that there is a 4th Toy Story coming out?! Yay!!
