And the world (at least those as pop culturally as obsessed as me) rejoices!

8:51 p.m. - I receive a phone call from Debo.

"Is it true?"

"Hey! Is what true?"

"I just heard on the radio that K-Fed and Britney split up!"

"What?!? Are you serious?"

"Yes! You didn't know?"

"No, I'm out in Abilene at the farm where there's no internet! I can't believe this!"

"I thought if anyone would know if it's true, it would be you."

"You've got a computer. You go check! And call me back immediately!"

9:24 p.m. - I discover that my in-laws have recently acquired wireless out at the farm and I am reconnected once again. Which is good because Debo never called me back. But she has twins. So I'll pretty much forgive her anything these days.

And after surfing people.com, tmz.com, and popsugar.com, I found out that it's true! Britney may not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, but she finally wised up. You go girl!
