Hoo Loves You?
You guys? What the hell is this?
Why am I, like, completely unable to walk past a seasonally-themed aisle end-cap at Target?
And I would like to be able to make some "Hooters" joke here and tie-in some pretense about them making me think about boobies,... but I just can't. I can't! I can't lie to you, my darlings! Especially not this close to the day we celebrate our love for others!
I can't lie to my faithful readers!
What really drew me to these ridiculous trinkets is the fact that they are pink, large-eyed, retro owls. There I said it. It is their very ridiculousness that I can't resist. The fact that they serve no purpose whatsoever is what makes them so irresistable to me. They are the underdogs of an otherwise entire store-full of terribly necessary items!
Dog food! Vitamins! Coffe pots! Slippers! Batteries! All very necessary to purchase at least once in a while! But love-owl-themed novelties? Their uselessness makes them the underdogs of the Target world, and therefore, I was compelled to save them!
Underowls! Or something.
So I actually paid good money for these items, which serve no purpose but to amuse me and will probably end up gathering dust on my desk. I might put pens in the mug, to try to justify it's existance.
Thank God I wasn't with Heather or I would have ended up buying the matching placemats, oven mitts and candy dish.

I'm going to Target. Immediately. I need the owls. I covet the owls.
