Lent is on the way...

Normally I'd abstain from alcohol, but I'm still on a New Year's resolution kick of motivation in maintaining that one (somehow...I have given a glance to a bottle of Irish Cream every morning I make coffee for the last week, because creamers aren't a good substitute--and probably jsut as bad for you). That being the case, though...My usual solution of giving up booze for Lent is kind of out the door as far as something I'd actually need to 'give up'...Unless I go full Fat Tuesday and have too much fun. But that would both be cheating, bad for me, and somewhat contrary to the whole point of things, wouldn't it? 'I started a bad habit up again so I could give it up' is a pretty skate-y way of getting by, isn't it? :p

...Man, I hate the thought, but I might end up trying to forego caffeine. And that one terrifies me a little bit. Because coffee, tea, and occasional energy drinks are my jam.

I'm not sure I could do all caffeine, but limiting myself to just coffee is doable. But I do do it every dang year.

I do something different for Lent, instead of giving up something like chocolate or beer, I instead give up *time* and commit to going to daily mass in the mornings.
