lent- i'm giving it up

but i will not complain. i've decided to give up a major vice of mine, fried food. when someone asks me what my last meal would be i usually tell them french fries. i cannot say no to a french fry. it's pretty sad. so for lent, i have decided to give up fried foods. it's going to be a challenge, but i'm hoping it's going to make me a bit healthier. i will keep you updated.

i usually give up something during lent and it's usually something like sweet tea (or at least when i lived in SC), but i also always intend to just be a better person all around. however, a day in, and i've already failed ( i made fun of someone earlier, many times). but she kind of deserved it. that's besides the point. it would be cool if everyone could take a second (or 40 days) to do something to make a more positive impact on the world around them. i wonder if it would be one of those things that could have a long-lasting affect? it makes me think of that tv-show, flash forward, where everyone passes out for two minutes, and they have a flash forward. if that happened, i think it would be cooler to just wake up a better person. instead of having a flash forward, it would just be a reflection and everyone just wakes up a better person.

i wish everyone well in this lenten season and hope you have a wonderful day.

p.s. my sister is still pregnant. very pregnant. being preggers with twins, we thought she would have them earlier than her due date, but they're still hanging in there. i guess they need a little more baking time. but we are all very excited for them to get here. i just hope it's not while i am in san francisco.
