I just don't know

So today is Ash Wednesday. Officially the First Day of Lent. And as a (cough) Catholic, I am supposed to choose something to abstain (give up) from now until Easter Sunday. The thing is, I haven't had junk food for a month (at least not really). I haven't consumed more than 4 beers in the last month. And I haven't had any soda for a month. Etc. Etc.

Because of this, I started to think more creatively about what I could give up.

First thing that came to mind was text messaging. I do it... a lot. But if someone SENDS me a text message - it would just be plain rude to not reply. And I don't want to be rude. Then I thought about giving up going out to eat. But again, that is really something I only do once a week, so it's not exactly a sacrifice. And the few times I have gone out recently were to celebrate w/family or friends. Birthdays, Anniversaries, etc.

I considered increasing my working out schedule, but as I'm already doing some sort of physical activity (heh, "physical activity". I wish!) between 4-5 times a week that really wouldn't be much of a change.

So then came cursing. And to be honest. I don't think it can be done. I just don't think I can do it.

Moving on. I then considered shopping. But don't be silly. Who can stop shopping altogether for 40 days? That's like saying "No breathing" or "Stop using the restroom." It just isn't possible.

The Spurs? Yeah. Right.

Blogging?

Nah, I couldn't do that to y'all.

I think you know I'm leaving one out. I didn't want to say it. I didn't want to have to go there. But I think I may. Is it even possible? I mean - is it REALLY possible? I did it once before. For about a month. Longest month of my life!

One word says it all.

Television.

No... it can't be done. Never. I love you television.

You make me want to be a better woman.

Because - I'll never let go, TV.

Here's looking at you... television.

You had me at "Hello".
