Tomorrow: Fat Tuesday
Mission: Sin 'till my eyes bleed.
That's not really the plan. I guess the only sin that I would really be capable of is that of gluttony because I am ready to do some serious peanut butter and jelly eating.
I would really like to keep my promises to go throughout lent without giving into the things that I have promised to give up. Good old sacrifice. Is there a better way to show God that you care?(Besides never ending devotion and worship but eh =))
Will it make me a better person? I don't know. But I do think sacrifice of material things and of behavior that is excessive can also lead to a simple beautiful way of living. That is part of what Christ wants for us isn't it?

So I am packing and dude it is never ending. Like, I have so much stuff it has become crazy. I did manage to pack a cactus and a rug but I can only imagine that this is what is going to make my luggage go over the limit. This is not the simpicity that I spoke of and I wonder and ask myself the question that I always ask myself in my head...
"When is this going to end?"
welp, Boston here I come and I'm bringin' my cactus with me.
boston,
