What's a girl to do?
It's that time again. Next Tuesday is Mardi Gras, which means Wednesday begins the season of Lent.
Despite being from a more Protestant background, I've give up something for Lent for probably about 12 or so years now. It all started when I did it to support a friend, but now I enjoy doing it for personal reasons.
In years past, I've given up things like fried foods, caffeine, ice cream, beef, and sodas.
So for this year, I'm wondering what could give up. Something I haven't done before. A possible list:
- All sweets
- TV
- All meats (minus fish - I need SOMETHING to balance out the diet)
- All drinks but water or milk
Any other suggestions? Any one you'd like to see me try to live without until Easter, March 23? (That's 53 whole days for you keeping count.)
Alas, I don't smoke - so I can't swear that off. Personal hygiene things like bathing, deodorant and teeth cleaning are nonnegotiable. Sleep is also a must. But I'm open to most other things. Feedback, please!
