I only had the one.
March 1st, 2009
I only have one Ash Wednesday story and I told it to you last year. Go read it again, it is one of my favorite all time posts.
What are you doing for Lent this year?
I am giving up celebrity gossip (so don’t talk to me about who all got divorced and knocked-up, and please save the Peoples and US Weeklys until Easter), I am also trying to cook dinner for my family at least four times a week. The Husband is giving up fried foods and is going to try not to sigh exasperatedly at his family. The Son is giving up Pull-Ups except at nap time. And bed time. And when we are in public. And if there are guests at the house. Basically he is going to take it slow.
The Son was super proud of his “Jesus dirt on my head”
He pointed out mine and The Husband’s every five minutes. “Mama! Daddy! Bruder Bill put it on your head too!”
He brushed his away when he played with his hair, can you see his cross there a little? Anyway, We hope you have a prayerful Lent.
update: “Hey You, what the heck is ash wednesday?” Ooops. My bad. Read about it here! and Lent here!

I gave up meat and carbonation. I’m actually kinda surprised to tell you that so far it hasn’t been all that difficult. I rather like the hummus sandwich at one of my favorite crunchy eateries, and the curry carrot and apple soup at my favorite coffee house is to die for. As for the carbonation…I’m not going to lie. I do miss my morning Coke, but I think I’m going to try to stay off of carbonation for good once Lent is over. I’m pretty sure I could live a healthier lifestyle if I didn’t drink the 6-7 Cokes per day I was knocking back. So for now, it’s blueberry pomegranate Propel, and I’m loving it. I missed my church’s Ash Wednesday service this year, because I had a bit of a headache.
