Dumb Blondes, Turning 30, & Why I Hate Thomas Wolfe

Who says you can't go back?

Thanks to Netflix Instant Queue, my daughter is obsessed with She-Ra.  You know... He-Man's sister. I have to throw in that little descriptive or else most people forget who she is, poor gal.  And when I say "obsessed", I mean obsessed.  We watch her every morning, and we'll be throwing a She-Ra birthday party later this summer, complete with a Princess of Power cake and all.

Additionally, I finished Sweet Valley Confidential: 10 Years Later this week. The saga of Elizabeth & Jessica Wakefield and the entire Sweet Valley gang continues.  I got my first Sweet Valley Kids book in second grade as a Valentine's present from my mom. From then on I was hooked, and pretty sure I read everything published about the twins straight through their college years. Without giving too much away, the twins are still blond and perfect, their parents still belong to the Sweet Valley country club, and Lila Fowler is still a rich bitch.

What a wonderful return to my childhood... or not so much. Because I honestly can't tell you which was worse.
