The Break Up

Dear Harry Connick, Jr.,
I'm not quite sure how to begin this letter, so I'll just cut straight to the point. Are you ready? Here it goes...

I am breaking up with you.

Now, please don't cry. You and I both know this has been coming for a long time. I've hardly listened to you in the past couple of years, and it's just...well...I've moved on.

Yes, I know that you were there for me through my most formidable years at Lincoln. (I also know that I almost liked another guy just because he looked like you...kind of.) And yes, I remember that concert in St. Louis. The way you played those instruments and sang just for me...even when I was sitting on the lawn. You were, and are, so special to me.

But you see, I have found someone else.
  • He's younger. OK, not like Demi Moore and Ashton Kutcher younger. But we'll say mid-twenties.
  • He's British--and you KNOW how I love accents.
  • He's NOT married to a Victoria's Secret supermodel.
  • Did I mention, he's British?
  • He plays the piano like a pro and sings like an angel.
  • And, well, he's my newest love.
I know this may just be a fad, and I'mreally sorry to hurt you in a time like this, but I just couldn't take it any longer. I hope we can still be friends. Please know that you'll always have a special place in my heart.

Call me when you get this.

Much Love,
L
PS--His name is Jamie Cullum.

I thought you'd like this post!

I'll tell HC that YOU were the one that caused this break up when he calls. :-) FYI--I don't think he's going to like you after this.

Hey Darling, I just wanted to clarify a few points on your latest blog. I'm sure it wasn't intentional but you got a few things mixed up-so here it goes.
1. yes I am mid 20's
2. No I'm not british-that sexy
accent is actually from
Wisconsin
3. I play the guitar not the piano
4. My name is Matt Swenson
not Jamie Cullum

And if these mistakes weren't an accident then were through, but if they were then I still love you.

OH Matty,
This whole thing has been one big misunderstanding. You know that YOU ARE, and forever will be, my one and only. I don't know what came over me! I still love you....please don't leave.

xoxo,
L

PS--Jamie, if you're reading this, I've been busted! Sorry honey! Let's make up over high tea...or fish and chips. OK?
