I am giving up alcohol for Lent this year, but hold your applause. I decided to go out with a bang on Shrove Tuesday and overindulged, which in retrospect was rather a mistake given that I'm trying to keep the Ash Wednesday fast. You have no idea how much I want a cheeseburger right now. I will certainly be repenting my transgressions today.

Fasting plus hangover does not sound like an A+ combination. My deepest sympathies. :(

Thanks! I finally decided that chips counted as less than a full meal and I ate them and they soaked up the alcohol and it was gooood.

I laughed really hard reading this. Then remembered that it's still Mardi Gras here. Time to do some damage!!

I hope you ate a whole box of cookies!

I didn't even think of that! And now it's too late. Ah well, I had an Izze and a burrito, and my dog had some ice cream (they're always giving him ice cream). Good times.

You are very good. I had trouble remembering today is Ash Wednesday, but now recollect the ash on the forehead of years gone by.
I was surprised to read the Rudd/baby comments. Surely he could not have been serious, not with his family background. Does he do sarcasm??

Your icon is my favourite. :)

I'm not one for resolutions, because then I just feel bad when I inevitably fail at them, so why bother haha. And definitely have that burger!

Oh, thank you!

Lent is good for giving things up because it's about six weeks long and you know there's an end to it. I've given up alcohol once before and survived, but when I was younger my mother used to make us all give up chocolate and lollies (candy) and it was SO HARD. Really my decision to abstain from alcohol is for my health. I drank way too much over the holiday season, LOL.
