s/o Fat Tuesday - Lent?

PlumCallaLily · March 2011

What, if anything, are you giving up for Lent?

Pooks, are you doing Facebook again?

Pookums · March 2011

Ugh I was going to do FB but considering the fact that so many people communicate only using it these days I figured I shouldn't (because of the LO and the shower in May).

I am considering swearing but feel I need to give up something more tangible as well.

In our religion we go hard core and give up meat, dairy, and some people add in their own things. But since I am nursing I am not fasting this year. I really should find something to give up though!

Since I am avoiding most seafood, Friday's are going to suck for me.

What's your religion?

I think that rather than giving something up, I'm going to add something in. I'm going to work really hard on focusing more on being a good housewife. There is no reason why my house shouldn't be spotless at all times. It's clean, but not enough for what it should. I'm going to work on meal planning and trying new recipes. It's hard with Drew's schedule, but it's something to work on. I'll just need to be flexible.

I like the idea of taking on something as well.

I haven't done the whole giving up anything since high school, I used to give up swearing and it was sooooo hard, I'd always botch it the first day. But I don't swear anymore so guess that I can't do that one Wink

I'm giving up diet coke.

Good for you, I have a horrible mouth. I like to blame this on working with truck drivers daily but really I shouldn't. I will have to stop soon anyhow.

*Tshot* That is a really good one, good for you I really should attempt something like that myself.

Yeah, this is what I used to do in high school and I probably should give this up again.

So yeah, I'm going to give up soft drinks and I'm really going to make every effort to be a more positive person.

LindsayM · March 2011

Hmm. I hadn't thought about it yet. Maybe coffee? As long as I could have hot tea in it's place I think I could do it.

Linds, you know I love ya, but is this really feasible?! Stick out tongue

Ha, that phrase makes me giggle. In the south, that's what we say to people when they're being real nasty to us ! It gets them every time! LOL!

LOL oh you southerners with your passive aggressiveness Wink

Pooks-- when I was a kid I lived on mac and cheese and peanut butter and jelly sandwiches during lent since I'm allergic to shellfish. Find your comfort food and eat it every Friday!!

I'm thinking of giving up soda this year which is REALLY hard for me since I'm not a coffee drinker and it is my source of caffine.

I've given up soda in the past. I think soda is the only "give up" that I've ever actually been able to follow all the way through on. Maybe I'll do it again.

moviesprincess · March 2011

I am having a hard time this year. I do not drink sodas so I can not do that. I do not swear too much. I have done sweets in the past which has been super hard but doable but not this year being pregnant. I was thinking about just being really hardcore and make sure I tackle my big house to do list that Ben and I have been avoiding for a while.

I really think when you work with truck drivers, it is much easier to swear. I find myself slipping sometimes at work when I'm having a really bad day.

Last year I gave up pizza and icecream. I haven't decided what I'm giving up this year but I think I will try to get to church every Sunday instead. I know this isn't what it's about, but it's hard to go to church by yourself. Maybe I'll call my grandma every week too. This isn't giving something up either, but it would make her very happy.

brie&drew · March 2011

I gave up alcohol last year. It was tough not because of the booze, but my birthday falls during Lent, which made celebrating a bit more difficult.

I'm thinking this year I give up soda for sure (since I want to do that anyway), add in walking Loki every day (unless there's rain since he hates that), and possibly giving up red meat as well.
