Day 1

LENT STARTED TODAY!
and i am honoring my favorite catholic custom in my usual way - by giving up chocolate - this year though with the added challenge of deleting my facebook account! it's going to be tough...
Lauren insists on giving me a really hard time for my devout observance, seeing as i'm definitely not catholic myself, but as i've tried to explain to her before, it has lots of benefits! Like for instance, it's a good way for me to take back my life, and be in control. See - i can give up facebook if i want to. and it feels kinda good. Or it makes me look forward to the way too forgotten Easter Holiday! there is definitely not enough hype about this celebration, and though i'm not catholic, I do believe in Christ. AND its all about family. excellent bonding with my mother and sisters who also give up chocolate and we are our support system and gouge ourselves on easter. You see the beauty? I'm just trying to once again re-convince myself....
But hey! One day down. only 39 to go :)
