Mardi Gras, Fat Tuesday and Lent
Last night Liz, Kathleen, Jeremy, Jenn and I went out to celebrate Mardi Gras/Fat Tuesday with Hurricanes at Nova.
Hurricane: Bacardi 151, spiced rum, dark rum, light rum, pineapple juice, orange juice, grenadine. Whew! That was a very strong drink. Perfect for celebration.
After Fat Tuesday Lent starts.
Lent: the 40 weekdays from Ash Wednesday to Easter observed by the Roman Catholic, Eastern, and some Protestant churches as a period of penitence and fasting
Every year, I choose to give at least one thing up for the 40 days. This year I have decided on two things to give up.
1. The snooze button- every morning I hit snooze 3 or 4 times before actually getting up. No more.
2. Red meat- I like red meat a lot but it is not very healthy and sometimes makes me sick.
What are you giving up?
