    Posted at 11:33 AM by Brittany, on September 20, 2012

    I AM SO FREAKIN EXCITED!! Need I say more!? It’s happening folks, pumpkin is coming. I don’t think I have ever used the word folks before. Something about using it makes me feel like a mature english teacher. I am rambling..

    I purchased my FIRST pumpkin the other day. I literally squealed when I saw it, I probably would have peed had I not just emptied my bladder..too far?

    BABY pumpkin!!! I had to pose with it, and with other pumpkin decorations. My favorite decoration is my Mickey Mouse pumpkin head from Dland.

    I specifically bought this pumpkin to sit on my windowsill so I can stare at it all day. Soon I will buy a pie sized pumpkin to eat, and a large pumpkin to carve.

    I am so jazzed. Along with pumpkin comes..OTHER SQUASH!

    I am going to turn into a squash this year, you just wait and see. I want to find a vegan spag squash meal.

    Monday I did something I haven’t done in a while. I worked 4am-11:30, came home to change, got on a ferry boat, and went to Seattle to celebrate my best friends birthday.

    I even had a drink, WHOAAaaA there.

    My partying days have long been expired, so it was fun to put my party pants on and spend time with my homies. Needless to say on the 9:00 ferry ride home I passed out. It was a long day. That’s about all the wildness I can handle for now.

    Oh and lastly, I caved..and I made a Pinterest account. I made a side bar link right under my bio, or just click here. You should follow me..if you want.

    Q: WHO’S EXCITED FOR PUMPKIN!? Have I mentioned that I am excited?

      I can’t resist the little pie pumpkins either! It really pains me to bake the suckers.

      Ha! My flatmates and I made pumpkin soup today – so excited to read about the same divine vegetable on your blog tonight! (And no, you don’t know me – I’m one of those really quiet stalker-readers ;-))

      I take it you’re a fan of pumpkins?? Haha is it weird that I LOVE the fresh kind (roasted preferably) but really don’t enjoy canned pumpkin…I feel like I’ve committed a blogger crime by admitting that ;)!

      Yay for pumpkins!! I can be excited this year since I’m not in NY (because pumpkins tended to be a warning sign for winter rolling in soon…).
      Pretty soon, blog world will be taken over by pumpkin recipes! Lol.

      Glad you had fun let-loose time with friends and manfriend. Sounds like a great time!

      I love pumpkin! I had a countdown going for the release of the pumpkin spice latte this fall. I just love fall. It’s the best. The colors are great. The smells are amazing. I like that it’s still warm some days but the weather is changing. It’s the best.

      It’s pumpkin time!! So excited! 🙂 And I don’t think I will cave and do Pintrest…I do not need something else to distract me from my actual work, but I also recall saying the same thing about Twitter….so apparently my assertations are pretty weak!
