Happy to be Alive, Because: The Office & Coconut Coffee.
1. Holidays that fall on Friday mean days spent on the water.
If holidays could fall on Fridays all the time, that would be fantastic.
2. We’ve started watching The Office again. This is my first time watching the show all the way through a second time, and I had really forgotten how perfect it was. And how the whole show is made up of really good one-liners.
3. My grandparents were talking about what kind of coffee I liked, and my grandpa said, “I bet she likes coconut coffee, because that’s the kind of coffee that’s in her book.” To know my grandpa actually read my book just warms my heart; the fact that he remembered the coconut coffee detail just melted me.
4. I mailed out more headbands this week than I’ve ever mailed in a single week before. That makes me really happy because it means I have an excuse to keep making more. {psst…this code is still good.}
5. For the first time in forever, I have zero plans this weekend. And I could not be more excited about it.
What made you happy to be alive this week?

I need to see what this headband thing is – I always love a good headband!
The Office – always funny. Steve Carrell is the BEST!
Congrats on your successful headband business… and how adorable that Grandpa read your book!! LOVE that!!
Yes to holidays falling on Friday all the time!
The Office is one of my favorites and always will be.
The Office is a favorite in our house too! I might need to re-watch them all soon!
I've only watched Season 1 of The Office. I'm ashamed to admit it. I should probably just start over so I can watch (and appreciate) the whole thing.
I'm stopping by from the link up! Have a great weekend!
I really need to start watching the office again. How can you not be in a bad mood after watching that! I love that your grandpa knew the little detail about your book, adorable!
Oh I love the office! Just looking at your headbands now and I love them too! !:) Such talent! Stopping by from the Friday link up š

Weekends with zero plans can be such a wonderful treat every so often! I hope you are able to take some time to relax and have happy little adventures!
Every weekend that we have "zero plans" ends up being the craziest and busiest of all weekends. I don't know how it happens, but it always does. You've been warned. š
I just found you from the link-up! Uh omg I love all your headbands they are just too awesome! Happy to be your newest follower!

I LOVE The Office! I have to admit I cried like a baby on the last couple of episodes! I was just so sad for it to end!
I'm watching The Office all the way through too! Until now, I had just watched episodes here and there but I was pretty apathetic about it. But oh my goodness. It's sooooo brilliant!
Jim and Pam are still my ultimate couple inspiration. I really should watch the show again. And that bow is way too cute. I'm gonna have to order something from your store!
Your grandpa sounds like a total keeper. I'd take him! š
Oh, and the Office! I think I'll need to start watching it again too. Thanks for the reminder. Ha.
Sounds like you'll have a super relaxing weekend. Enjoy!
I absolutely love The Office. I have a desk calendar at work so I've come across a lot of gems. Stopping by from the link up – have a fantastic weekend!
Today makes me happy to be alive. Because I made it through the longest week ever. Ha
I absolutely LOVE that hair bow! And what made me happy this week…giving birth to my first-born!
I actually started drinking coconut coffee right before I read your book – I wondered the same thing if you really like it in real life! š It's my FAVE! (And I wonder if there's a way I can make it at home.)
I found you through the Oh, Hey it's Friday link up. I'm going to have to check your book out! It sounds exciting! Coconut coffee? Sign me up. Sounds like heaven in a cup. š
Hopped over from September Farm! How cool that you wrote a book!!! I'm super jealous… I really would love to write. I just need an idea…. š
Your grandfather's comment is so sweet! I have no plans this weekend, too. I did that mostly because I start a new job on Monday and I want to be well rested for it. My new workplace is going to be chaotic and I'm coming from a very quiet and slow environment. š
Your grandparents are so sweet. I might want to watch the office again too. I bet there's so much I missed.
That's SO cute about your grandpa! Checking out your headbands now!
I wish I were cool enough to wear headbands!
I am happy to be alive because being alive is a pretty fantastic thing!
This post made me smile. It says so much about the person who makes a point to be thankful of the little things and the happy times in his/her life. I am definitely trying to do this more…to celebrate the happy moments in my life. š
I love this sweet post. Such a lovely story about your grandpa!! Things like that bring such a smile to my face:)

I absolutely love The Office! I went through a stint in college where it was the only thing I would watch!
Oooh, coconut coffee, am I missing something in life?????
I secretly love having no plans on the weekends! It doesn't happen enough sometimes!
Oh my goodness, your grandpa remembering the coffee is just about the sweetest thing ever!

Umm be right back, just trying to compose myself after your grandpa's comment about your coffee! So precious!!! I totally feel ya with The Office. A total classic with way too many hysterical lines to quote!
The Office really is perfect. As is Parks and Recreation, which I just started re-watching. Last week was a little rough for me, but I did get to spend a lot of time reading, and that makes me feel alive and well. š
i recently started rewatching the office too. It was a great life decision.
