I need Lent!

Yesterday, when I was getting my hair done, Lyn (my hair dresser) started talking about Lent (she's Catholic). Her family is so good every year-no alcohol or chocolate and this year, no grocery shopping unless it's an emergency! They are eating out of their pantry! Well, as I sat and listened to her I thought how brilliant the whole Lent thing is! I don't need to worry about the alcohol-no problem. Or meat-who cares! I can do without chocolate too! I don't want to eat out of my pantry-not until a disaster hits but that is just their deal anyway. I HATE fasting! That would be hard for me since I turn into a BEAST without food! But I thought that maybe I should go without something for a month until Easter! Hmmmm...what about treats in general? Those darn Girl Scouts are out in force again, looking angelic in their tidy uniforms, but lulling you with their boxes and boxes of fatty goodness! I've already eaten too many to feel comfortable admitting. (Thanks Kelly for getting sucked into their temptation!) Do you think I can do it? If you know me well you KNOW that it would be a sacrifice to say the least! I'm going to try this. I need to support my Catholic blood! Right Dad? (His fam is Catholic) Anyone want to join me? I'm trying to convert Kelly! Wish me luck!
