Happy First Day of …. LINT!!
No not really that kind of lint, but today kicks of 40 looong days and 40 looong nights of Lent. I usually crumple by day oh I don’t know 15 and end up having a little too many cocktails and doing whatever it is I promised I would not do. I promised this year that I would turn over a new leaf and try really try to not break my promise. I pondered long and hard about what it is I could give up.
I thought about giving up wine. However that would really interfere with my Monday Bachelor dates with Lauren and Missy and Mehegan, as well as any night at home with Deb. I then thought about giving up pizza, but once again that would massively interfere with Bachelor Mondays, and not to mention my grocery budget on my state government salary. [For real it is a pretty good bang for your buck as a single lady]. I thought about giving up saying cuss words. Then I thought in my profession that it would likely be physically impossible due to frustrations with the bad breath from certain members of the public and the occasional defense attorney. I considered giving up shopping, but I am pretty much not doing much of that lately again due to my government budget so that is not really a challenge.
I thought long and hard about something that I always have on hand. I thought about something that I request at every restaurant no matter what I am eating just because anything smothered in it makes something taste so much better. I came up with …
I realize that at this moment, you 7 readers are like WTF? But I really think this will be a challenge for me. That means on Bachelor Mondays, I will no longer be pulling my Hidden Valley out and passing it around the table. This means that on our weekly Thursday night happy hours, I will not be dipping my cheese fries in this succulent sweetness. This means that any trip to Bonjangles, Chick Fila, [insert any other chicken establishment], I will be eating it dry.
What are you people giving up for lint Lent?
