The break up
Written by hootenannie on February 23rd, 2008My love,
You know the old saying, “It’s not you, it’s me”?
Well, sorry. This time, it is definitely you.
We’ve been together for a long time. So long, in fact, that I can scarcely remember a time when we were apart. There was that one time during my freshman year of college when I needed some space, and space we took. But in your absence, I gained a ton of weight and my face ballooned up like a chipmunk. I missed you. I begged God that you would return to me.
And you did. Slowly but surely, you came back. Ever since that traumatic experience, I have clung tightly to you. You have been safe. You have been secure. You have made me look good.
At least, you used to.
Lately, I’ve been realizing what a hassle you are. You promise to be low-maintenance, but you actually take up too much time. You assure me that you’ll behave, but then you wig out and go nuts. Certain people have told me that you make me beautiful, so I’ve kept you around. But the truth is, I’ve wanted you gone for a long time.
I’ve waited. For many reasons, I’ve waited. I’ve waited until “after I’m skinnier,” I’ve waited until “after I get married,” I’ve waited until “after I’ve convinced Nashville that I am glamorous.” But when I woke up this morning, I could wait no more.
I’m sorry. I know that I will probably eventually shed tears, but not today. You’ve done nothing but take, and it’s time that you be cut off – literally. I’m leaving you for my new lover, Bob.
Cutting and running,
Annie

I’m all, Lisa, have you looked at Annie’s blog today? And she’s all, no…so I read it out loud to her, and she ran over to the computer, and we were both all, “she looks SO GREAT!” Bravo.

You have more guts than me. I’ve been wanting to make a major hair change for years. And go brunette. Dan will not allow it. Stupid boys!
