Fat Tuesday

 

It's Fat Tuesday already?  Where does time go?  I've always loved this day, I generally treat it as my day of excess.  Yummy food, maybe a drink or two and some revelry!  In the past, I've given up chocolate, cheese, bread, and other of my favorite foods.

This year however, since we have already changed our food habit so dramatically there is really nothing "naughty" to give up.  I am going to try to give up the only thing I find to be a luxury these days....Peanut butter.  I'll stick with almond butter throughout the Lent season, it isn't quite as good and a little more $$ but I think it will take care of the craving.

The other bad habit I have in my life is cursing. Driving to and from Atlanta has given me quite a sailor's vocabulary.  I'm not proud of it, and if I don't watch it, Coops is going to be cursing up a storm by the time he's 8.  So Danny and I are both giving up our foul language for Lent and hopefully forever.  We are doing a dollar jar for incentive.  I told Danny to curse like mad today, I may join in with him!

Happy Fat Tuesday!
