Super Fat Tuesday

Feb 05, 2008 11:20

So it's not only Super Tuesday (GO VOTE!) it's Fat Tuesday AKA Mardi Gras. Lent is going to be hardcore this year. I'm going on the Skinny Bitch diet which means: no artificial crap, no sweets, no soda (diet or regular), no coffee (decaf or regular), no alcohol, no eggs, no dairy, no animal products, basically no garbage. Yeah, should be ( Read more... )

Did Lent start? Why don't I ever know when Lent starts? How do you know? Why didn't the nun who taught my confirmation class tell me this? Why didn't I ask??

I always have to look it up every year. I added a "Christian Holidays" public calendar to my google calendar. That helps. But yeah, Lent starts tomorrow.

I'm not Catholic, but doesn't lent start 6 weeks before Easter or something like that? Also, is it referred to as "ash wednesday?"

Yes, it is Ash Wednesday. And it does start 6 weeks (and 4 days) before Easter. Thing is Easter changes every year, too. Though, Easter, at least, is usually always marked on a calendar.

Depending on the area they will be out of stores starting Tuesday the 4th (today) and every store by September 2008. If you love them hardcore talk to your baristas, even the stores will keep them through September will be removing all signage and display.

I am grateful that not only do I make *much* better espresso than Starbucks, (Yay, Ghirardelli powdered chocolate, Monin syrup, Trader Joe's rBGH free milk, and Cafe Feminino!) but I also probably make a much better breakfast sandwich.

Sucks for you that you are on the other coast. ;)

I love breakfast sandwiches. And breakfast burritos. In fact, anything that takes breakfast foods and has you getting a taste of each one in every bite is good for me.

Of course, what I should be eating is oatmeal and fruit...but I praise myself on not forgetting to eat breakfast in the first place.

Oregon doesn't primary until *MAY 20th* which means we either massively won't matter or we'll be the next Florida or Ohio. And, since Kucinich is gone, yay Obama!
