Lent Starts Tomorrow

40 days of Lent and all those meatless Fridays.

In my almost 37 years, there is one thing I've learned about Fridays in Lent. You will always have a cheeseburger craving on Friday.

I think it is because you know you shouldn't be eating it.

The whole meatless Friday thing makes no sense. You can't eat beef, pork, chicken, turkey, etc, but you can eat fish? WTF! Isn't fish the meat of an animal, so to speak?

My mind boggles, but then again I don't want to have to hunt down totally vegetarian dishes to make for my family on Fridays for 6 weeks.

It isn't really painful, I like tuna patties, halushki, and pierogies, but sometimes the same old food gets boring, which is why I'm always crabby on Fridays in Lent.

At least tomorrow is Gorton's Potato Crusted Fish....tasty.....

Tomorrow Starts Lent

Oh lordy...all the "fish" jokes that could start going around. OK, they've already gone around in my household. Thankfully PH has heard none of them...yet. I'm not brave enough to tell him any, because...well they would be terribly suggestive, especially since I'm a semi-good little catholic girl.

Which brings me to the thing that gets asked of me every year at this time. What, are you giving up for Lent?

I hate that question.

If I say a food, well, it just seems like I'm using it as an excuse to diet. I'm already trying to do that. I have about 5 lbs to go to hit 125 again.

MOTD repeats..."stop shoveling food in your gaping piehole and the 5 lbs will go away, damn it."

This year I gave it careful consideration. I'm giving up the hunks for lent. Well, all but one...If that isn't sacrifice I don't know what is.

~sigh~

I would also like to give up this cold I seem to have caught, but it seems to have other ideas.
