So, let's just go ahead and throw it out there: I don't really go to church alot. I did when I was still living at home, but since college and now moving to a new city.. well, it kind of got lost in the shuffle. Not to say I don't pray to myself sometimes, or the fact that I do enjoy a church service, I just need to find a time when I know it's right that I will dilgently pick back up the church routine. I don't have a time line, but I am hoping it will be sometime soon.
Given that information, I still do partake in the traditions of the Catholic church, one being Lent. I have never once successfully given up something for 40 days. So this year, I am trying it out.. again. I have decided on red meat. I have a family history of "bad pipes" as some may put it, so I guess this is a step in the right direction. I also don't eat alot of red meat, so I'm hoping it won't be too hard. I also started my Lent season on Sunday because I couldn't come up with anything until then, so sue me. Also, since Sunday is a day of rest, I find it conducive to my Lenten fasting to give red meat a chance that day.. if I'm feeling in the mood.*
So let it be said, I will be beef and pork free until Easter Sunday! Wahoo!** Here's to chicken and fish!! Have a great Wednesday!
*OK, so I had to put that in there because I went to an AWESOME dinner party the other night at Bobby Van's Steakhouse in downtown DC and I got a free filet mignon.. come on people, let's be honest.. you can NOT turn that down.
**I don't really know if pork is considered "red," but I'm giving it up because I need less bacon and sausage in my life. Fo' sho'.
