^ But perhaps not during Lent...

My eldest daughter has decided only to read books she hasn't already. (sounds strange, but we have a couple of very well thumbed volumes on our shelves.)

The second one, in an astounding act of sacrifice, is forgoing candy. My husband and I are in shock.

The other ones are too small to care.

For me, wasting my time on the computer. Oops, gotta go!

In my current path of spirituality, Lent is not something that is observed...so I'm not giving up anything, per se.

I do have to say...why the hell would you go get the sign of the cross in ash on your forehead and then still leave it on when you go to the bar!? I saw more than once person last night with ashes on their forehead!
