Lent: giving anything up?

I was just thinking about this because I haven't gotten any work done lately.  I think I'm going to have to give up (gasp!) The Nest again (this includes The Bump of course) this year.  It'll be rough, but I did it last year so I think I can do it again.

Ash Wednesday is Feb 17th this year, btw.  Coming up soon!

Re: Lent: giving anything up?

  • Yes but I'm not sure what as of yet.  I always try and pick something challenging but not impossible for me.  Right now I'm thinking something sweets related.  Maybe chocolate?
  • I always (try) to "give up" cussing - that includes hell and damn, along with all of the other bad words.

    I should try sugar this year, but I don't think I can do it. :/

    this makes me sad, btw.

  • I am totally addicted to Diet Coke...so I will give it up! :( I am ready for my headaches....
  • I gave up french fries last year and was successful...maybe I'll go with that one again.
  • I want to give up fast food, but I'll be flying during Lent and I'll need to eat during a layover and packing a meal is just too logistically difficult.  And I don't want to cheat.  So I'm not sure.  Maybe soda.
  • I give up fast food every year, so I'll be doing that again. I need to come up with something else, too, just not sure what yet.
    We have so much time, and so little to do! Strike that, reverse it.

  • I'm going to attempt the impossible and give up cheese.  I know, I know.... but I have got to try. 

     

  • My flavor of Luteranism doesn't give anything up for Lent.  You're supposed to suffer year-round for your sins. ;)

    I did this one year in college, and I swear it was the exact time they came out with the "Behold the Power of Cheese" campaign and there were giant billboards all around with huge blocks of cheese on them, taunting me day and night.

    Apparently God does have a sense of humor.

    Dear Bump: You suck.
