Best. News. Ever.

The following news has completely derailed me today. Sweet Valley Confidential: Ten Years Later's Cover Revealed.

Sweet Valley High is my second favorite book series – next to Babysitter’s Club, obviously. I’ve been dying to know what’s up with the Wakefield twins, hunky Bruce Patman and Enid Rollins (I always chose to be Enid when playing the SVH board game because I love a good redhead.)

Today, I’ve analyzed the cover (it’s ok), pre-ordered the book on Amazon, read the first chapter excerpt (Wakefield twins not speaking! What did Jessica do?!) and checked out Francine Pascal’s bohemian-chic photo.  I had a conference call with a friend about the awesomeness of what is to come on March 29th. My friend even sang the theme song from the hit mid-90’s TV series on the call. I googled the alleged movie that Diablo Cody has in the works for 2012 and read up on all the articles about the film. Basically, I’m pumped.

Now if Ann M. Martin would just get on it and tell me what those Stoneybrook babysitters are up to ten years later, my life would be complete.

But at each stage of our lives, different techniques, costumes, and behaviors may be called for to optimize our Halloween experiences. They are as follows:

Salty Sayings for Celebrities

Last night, I know I should have been watching the amazing live footage of the rescue of the miners in Chile for its social significance and stuff, but I wasn’t. I was trolling the internet to get the scoop on all the celeb news that has been popping up. If celebrities actually ate cookies, I’m sure they’d be all over our goods.

Christina Aguilera could have ended her marriage to that guy that I get confused with Tori Spelling’s first husband with this message:


(And how utterly unfamous you are, Jordan Bratman.)

Courteney Cox also ended her unexplainable marriage to David Arquette this week. I like to imagine she would pack all his kooky crap in a box and leave it on the front porch with an order of these on top - tied with a coordinating ribbon, because she seems like a classy lady.



And somehow Rachel Zoe, who lives on a diet of coffee and air, is pregnant If we were friends, she would have gotten a double order of these cookies:



Laura Dern and Ben Harper also called it quits but I always forget they were even married, so I’d probably forget to send them a break-up cookie, too.
