40 Days and 40 Nights...

I think I just might have to go back to giving up something or someone for Lent...

Why? (You asked, I heard you).

Because I sorta miss looking forward to Easter and being able to indulge in what I gave up for 40 days and 40 nights (minus Sundays, holidays and holy days).

Of course, that means I have to give up something I really like or want - unlike that time I gave up knowing guys (yeah, in the Biblical sense) because none of that was happening anyway. Did I tell you my kids are the product of Immaculate Conception - all three of them...

Or the time I gave up haystacks (chocolate covered coconut and the country life). I knew I could never give up any other chocolate, so why subject myself to failure before I even start?

Then there was the time I gave up my gym membership...that was a tough one - especially since the gym was not open on Easter Sunday and I had to wait til Monday to sweat to the oldies.

But I have a whole year to think about this. And indulge in all the things I love in case I decide to give one of them up for Lent 2010....
