Sooo, apparently, I no blog long time. (According to my mother.) Well, this is simply because I don't have anything interesting enough to post... But maybe I can come up with something good enough that I can just elaborate on. Well...where should I start?? I finally got a boyfriend! Thing is, I don't really like him. He's waaaay too immature and obnoxious. I mean, I know there's more to him, but he just doesn't even try to be even the teeniest bit mature. It's only been a month...but I can't stand him anymore. Soooo...any breakup advice, ladies?? (Enough of that, on to another subject.)
I broke my new mp3 player! Yaaay, me! I was cooking and bent over to get a pot and dropped it...I didn't have any pockets, so you know, my bra's the BEST place to put it... it still works, in fact, I'm listening to it right now. It just has 2 big cracks across the screen... So, it just looks bad. AND one of the sides popped open, but I just taped that back together.
So there's basically the only thing that's been going on for what, a month?? My life ain't all that exciting. Although I think the highlight of that time was getting to see everyone in Huntsville, especially getting to visit with aunt Sam. I enjoyed that. Well, that's really all I got. Soooo, Toodles!

Here's how ya handle the break-up ... you say, "I break with thee, I break with thee, I break with thee," and then you throw dog poopie on his shoes.
At least, that's how Steve Martin told me you do it.
Wow..breaking up, huh? That's always a touchy situation.
Best advice I can give you is be as gentle as you can, and do it in person! Nobody wants to be dumped by phone, email, or text message you know.
Good luck!
Ooh--your mother pulls out the old Steve Martin line! Good move!
From a guy's perspective--don't embarrass him. He's confused enough about life already--he doesn't need to deal with that! Don't do it at a time when he's going to be facing his friends right away (like at a party or lunch or something). And don't do it right after you've been kissing or something (sorry Kel). If you're going to be breaking up with him, don't be playin' around. That'll shoot his self-esteem right down the tubes!
Most important--like MamaKBear says--do it in person!!!
Just be kind and treat him with the same respect that you would want to be treated with. You want to leave people with a good impression of you, even if you had to do something that hurt.
I keep my iPod tucked in the waist of my panst/shorts when I'm at the gym. Makes for getting the cord caught on machines fairly often.
I loved seeing you in Huntsville, even if you don't really know who the heck I am :)
Hi Emily -
I'm Suzie. Your mom & dad's friend from Orlando. (Remember me? No??? Oh well.) Here's my advice:
You are gorgeous, just like your mother. And just like your mother did at your age, you will leave a trail of broken teenage-boy hearts in your wake. So get used to doing the break-up thing the right way, mmm-k?
Step 1. Do it in person, but not in public. Do not humiliate him in front of everyone at school. Go somewhere where you can talk privately.
Step 2. Be honest. You are more or less firing him from the boyfriend job, and he deserves to know why. So tell him. Don't ever lie about why or make something up to spare his feelings. He deserves the truth.
Step 3. Walk away. Don't give in to pleas for another chance, at least not right away. He needs to go think about it and decide if maybe it isn;t really the best thing for both of you. If a few months from now you both feel like giving it another shot, go for it. But for now, give it a rest.
Step 4. Don't give in to the rumor mill. Don't retaliate when someone tells you something awful he supposedly said about you after the breakup. You'll only make it worse. Even if he shouts derogatory names at you in the hall afterwards, even if he and his buddies are laughing at your expense, don't respond to him or to anyone. Everyone probably already knows how immature he is/they are, so let it go. It will pass if you ignore it.
And... that's about all I remember about breaking up with a 13-year old boy. Ask your momma - she's the pro!
I think mamakbear said it best. Be nice and do it in person. That's the hardest way, but in the long run the best.
