lil hoot is my lil bubble where life is about pretty things and loveliness all the time, but today i must acknowledge that it's not. i came across this quote that made me feel a teeny bit better and i hope it does the same for you.

groupie

i got to bee-bop around at the black crowes concert last night.

holy 90s flashback. i remember playing the 'hard to handle' cassingle on a boom box out the window onto the lawn behind north house spring of freshman year at canterbury. who's with me?

anyhoot, i fully admit that i used to judge adorbs kate hudson.
i just didn't undertand . . .
this:

well, i'd like to state for the record -- kate, i get it, sister.

this little jesus doppleganger is a legit rock star with the voice of an angel. i was obvs ready to leave horseface in the dust to ride off into the sunset on the tour bus after 5 notes. {and 27 beers}

wouldn't you?

WORSHIP.

{CR, call me}

nifty gifty: the trinket tray

i'm loving these decoupage trays for gifts. even though they are ~~totes~~ sort of john derian rip-offs, the quotes make me smile.

ummm, this was one of my HS yearbook quotes. ~~SO. effing. screwed. when c & p are teens.~~

my mom bought me this one for Christmas.

buy here

agreed.

buy here

again, with the dogs, i know, but this is my all-time fave quote. as both pups are snoring while keeping my feet cozy right now. worship.

and i have to end it with mr. big telling it like it is.

buy here

love.
