Can you sleep through a violent thunderstorm without getting up and waiting for a flash of lightning long enough to at least glimpse how your plants are faring?
Can you pass a new fert or pest killer at the garden center without "taking a look" at it?
Can you even go into a store with a garden center and not at least have a look through it?
How many times have you drawn (mentally or on paper) an irrigation system for you patch if you don't already have one?
How long is your "Pumpkin do" list?
How long is your " Pumpkin wish list"?
Do family members buy pumpkin stuff for you as presents?
Do friends and family make it a point to let you know about pumpkin stuff they find for sale or "free manure" signs they see?

I asked a guy for a "certain amount" of manure yesterday, he loooked back at his cows and said he only had a couple dozen. THEN HE LAUGHED!!!!!! ARG!

I went to a school dance Friday night and said "Well this could actually be a good thing. I won't be home from the dance until 11:00 so I'll soak my seeds TONIGHT and get up at 4:00 tomorrow to check on them!"

It is BAAAAAAAAAAAAD!!!!!! Trust me, Alex.
