I Have To Give It Up For How Long!?!

[JohnnyHack]

So today is Fat Tuseday (A.K.A. Mardi Grass), its the day before Ash Wednesday, and before the begining of Lent. During Lent you give up something you enjoy, and you give it up until Easter Sunday. I've been doing this ever since I was a little kid along with my family (and my girlfriend. Mysery loves company.). This year I'm giving up every drink other then water and milk. I just came back from the grocery store with a 12 pack of soda, and when I looked into the fridge to put them away I saw a bunch of Gatoraid, other sodas, and fresh Ice Tea. FML (for anyone who dosen't know what that means look it up on Bing).

I'm impressed! I can't even give up diet Coke. This year, it's going to be ice cream again. I also add something positive (a daily prayer, a donation) but haven't decided what it's to be yet.

You should give up skydiving. That's what I would say I was giving up. That or dinosaur mud wrestling, dating supermodels, renovating the Sphynx, or birdwatching with Bigfoot. Those are things you could give up instead of the drinks. I know my skydiving habit is going to be a hard one to break, but I am sure I can do it.

For me, it is a very specia, delectable butter cookie dipped at one end in dark chocolate and covered with sprinkles. I bought one home to have for dessert tonight and then not another until Easter Monday.

I gave up refraining.

I'm pretty sure I can do that for the rest of my life.
