The Break-Over

Tonight my girlfriend & I went to the most fabulous event...Greg Behrendt (author of He's Just Not that into You) and his wife held a book signing/talk about their new literary venture, It's Called a Breakup Because it's Over!). Imagine 200 ladies (no exageration here) packed into an intimate, candlelit venue (we strategically placed ourselves upfront & center on the nice cozy couch with a Super Fox each), while Greg & his wife bantered about the hilarity of our girly break-up brains (drunken phone calls, wearing his sweater, thinking there's "hope" even though he's got a new girlfriend!) We were laughing our pretty little heads off! And to top it all off, my friend won the raffled "Break-up Kit," which included, amungst other things, a voodoo doll! Hehehe...Seeing as her divorce was final just one month ago, I found this very appropriate! As I type she's probably sitting in her bubble bath, eating chocolate & stabbing her little heart out (or his!) Hehehe...
I highly recommend anyone pick up Greg's book...Even if you're not currently going through a breakup, you've surely suffered through one before...and I know you need a laugh!
I'll leave you with an excerpt from the book:
It's past two in the morning. You're on your third glass of wine. You're wearing his sweater because it still smells like him (and quite frankly, he never really smelled that great, but we'll give it to you). Stamp out that dumb French cigarette and put down that phone. No really, don't make that call. Why? Because you're not that girl, looking for another chance with someone who has proven himself unworthy of your greatness. You're not that girl, sitting alone with a box of tissues when a world full of possibilities waits outside her door. Starting right here, right now, it's time to dry your tears, put down that pint of ice cream, log out of his email, and open this book to chapter one--and start turning your breakup into a break-over.
