But for the last 8 years or so, I’ve given up something for lent. I like the whole idea of sacrifice, and it helps me get my vices in check. In the past I’ve given up fast food, french fries, dessert…I actually can’t remember anything that wasn’t food related.
On deck for this year? Facebook.
That’s right, I quit facebook. Thus far, my hands have started tying facebook.com 8 times today. Clearly this was much needed. I went ahead and disabled my entire account, because I knew I’d cheat otherwise. Maybe I’ll be back in 40 days, or maybe I won’t even miss it.
Are you giving anything up for lent? Even if you’re not, what would you give up if you had to?
**For the record, I will still eat meat anytime and anywhere. No McDonald’s fish sandwiches on Fridays for this girl!
