Breaking Up is Hard to Do, Especially When it's Done to You

Fri Oct 06 20:02:33 EDT 2006
Got your heart stomped on recently? Seems like a lot of people in my
life have, so this blog is for them.

Steps to make you forget your broken heart:

1. Cliched, but true: Get some Ben & Jerry's. Any flavor will do. Do
not put in bowl, do not put down until the carton has been thoroughly
licked out.

2. Order yourself something beautiful and unnecessary (a gorgeous
cultured pearl cocktail ring, a pair of Manolos, or some La Perla
lingere always cheers me up). Although wait on the La Perla if you've
done step one more than once.

2. Replace your crying jag with tears of laughter by reading Elizabeth
Kuster's Exorcising Your Ex.


Excerpt: "Okay so four months have passed and you're still feeling
miserable about the breakup. I regret to inform you that this can only
mean one thing: Something is Really Wrong with you!"

Besides being hilarious, the book has practical tips about which
movies, songs and books to avoid (anything romantic, or anything that
reminds you of your ex, natch).

3. Send your ex, "Da Break Up Song". Visit www.dabreakupsong.com, type
in his name, two reasons he sucks, and giggle away thinking of him
getting a personalized rap from Lady Raptastic.

4. Visit www.match.com (avoid the Dr. Phil stuff) and look at all the
other single people out there. You are not alone.

Remember, you WILL get over this breakup, you will barely remember
what's-his-name next year, and there is someone out there who will
appreciate how wonderful you are, so cheer up. Soon you will have
someone to wear that La Perla stuff for.
