On Jon…and why i totally hate him. February 16 2007
Somehow. Jon worked his jedi mind tricks on me and convinced me to give up sweets for lent. LENT! I haven’t given anything up for lent since my last year in a catholic school, grade 8 I think.
So as of next thursday I will be giving up sweets with the devil himself. I tweeking mine of course. I will not be giving up the honey i add to my steaming tea in the morning, but i will buy a travel size jar to take to work. Also? Not giving up maple syrup. Cause sometimes chris makes the best pancakes ever, it’s my mom’s recipe but he makes it yummy. and pancakes are just wrong with out real maple syrup.
Well I think that’s all i can think of right now. Honey (unpasteurized) & maple syrup (local).
I might die from this.
And HE will have that on his conscious
NOw, this is coming from a mostly agnostic Presbyterian, but has anybody sucessfully given up being Catholic for Lent? Think of the sacrifice THAT would be!!
You’re totally going to cheat!
Yeah, this is going to stink…
Guess I’ll have to give up fast food.
You sure as heck better not cheat. I’ll know.
And just think how amazing you will be if you could actually give up the honey and maple syrup.
The problem with having little things like that allowed is that it will let you extend it to maple syrup candy. Definitely a no-no.
You didn’t tell that sweets include doughnuts, and pastries, and cookies, and cake, and any other equivalents thereof.
omg woman! are you out of your rock picking mind?
Are you kidding me? Are you nuts??? (we already KNOW that Jon is)
Myself, I’m just giving up Lent for Lent. Can I do that?
I gave up Diet Coke. Haven’t had one since New Year’s Eve. I thought I would die, but I haven’t. I’m still tempted almost everyday but I still manage to walk away from the fridge. They have them free at work….and yet I walk away with bottled water.
So how are you doing without sweets????
