I hope everyone got their indulgence out of the way yesterday.
Since I'm not Catholic, I only have limited knowledge of how this stuff goes. Today is the start of Lent. A friend of mine from back when I was in grade school told me that it was traditional to give something up for the 40 days of Lent and usually I do so every year (although since the beginning of Lent changes every year, sometimes it passes without me even realizing it).
This year, I decided that I would be giving up sweets (hence me downing a pint of Ben & Jerry's tonight while watching Glee) and fried food (hence me eating a bunch of chicken strips earlier today). This is one of those things that will look easier on paper than it will be in practice.
Anyone out there giving up anything for Lent?
