Lental Sacrifice

So this past Wednesday was Ash Wednesday. Aka the first day of Lent. And despite the fact that I am a Roman Catholic and attended 13 years of Catholic school, I almost missed it. It was my Jewish roommates who made me realize it actually, talk about irony. When I heard this I immediately began to think of something that I could "give up" for Lent, as per tradition. Last year I gave up chocolate and considering that I'm a slight chocoholic, this was quite difficult. I wanted to top last year though and come up with even more of a challenge for myself for the next 40 days. I finally decided to give up meat for Lent. Like I said, I'm absolutely up for a challenge. I guess we'll see how the next 40 days pan out...
