All these years of living a good and decent life (what, shut up, stop laughing!) have made it very difficult for me during the season of Lent...nothing to give up!!
For those of you non-Catholics, Lent is when we prepare ourselves (for 40 looooong days) for Easter by giving up things that make us happy.
Once I gave up daytime talk shows, VJ gave up soda, Brynna gave up her favorite blanket (now THAT'S sacrifice!), Van gave up sex...no wait, he's not Catholic...never mind!
So, this year I have something to give up; Facebook!
Holy crap did I get addicted fast...
I joined Facebook a long time ago, but hadn't really experienced the site until last week. It started on Wednesday when I added an old friend named Mike and it snowballed out of control really fast! People that I haven't thought of for 26 years (and who I would have SWORN would never remember me!) started popping back into my life! Memories flooding in...good ones, bad ones, embarrassing ones! I haven't laughed this much in a very long time...
I know I am able to sacrifice, I have proven that this week. Here's a list of things I have given up for Facebook surfing and chatting (my favorite part of the game by far!)...Laundry, cooking (but JT is happy 'cuz were ordering pizza a lot!), cleaning, watching TV, talking to my Mom for more than 2 minutes, checking math homework (ouch...this is the one that brings guilt), bubble baths, early bedtimes, and reading, to name a few... :)
The only things that have not been sacrificed are Greta ('cuz she'd never allow it!) and my exercise routine (because I am really enjoying shrinking!)
So, when Ash Wednesday gets here I will totally have something to give up...but I'm guessing I won't be able to!
