Gung Hay Fat Choy! Now run out there and grab a piece of this lovely lady's birthday cake. But don't eat it! It's Lent and eating sweets during Lent makes Jesus cry.
So Happy New Birth Ash Day!!
NB: It's tradition on Chinese New Year for married people to give red envelopes with money in them to their single friends and family members.
I'm single.
I'm just saying.
So for Lent this year, I'm giving up my usual. Sodas. Alcohol. Sweets. Sex. Sadly, the only thing I tend to miss during the forty days is the soda. I was tempted to give up TV, but then I realized that a truly merciful God wouldn't want me to give up Buffy reruns and cooking shows.
So any of you good and faithful people of Christ planning to give up some vices for Lent?
UPDATE: Well, I already broke one of my Lenten promises. And before you sickos ask if I rubbed one off in the men's room, it wasn't that. I had a donut.
This is still better than the Lent where I had given up soft drinks, but drank my morning Dr. Pepper without realizing that it was Ash Wednesday, not Mardi Gras.
Anyway, keeping three out of four Lenten promises is still pretty good.

Me?? Vices?? Hah.
Many thanks, my favorite gay rugby player!
(and, if one happens NOT to be giving up sweets for lent...or if one, is say, Jewish...grab a piece of that cake!)
I'll take some cake and eat it too. Yum.
About ten years ago, I decided to give up Lent for Lent. It's worked fairly well for me ever since. And I do plenty of things that I'm sure makes Jee-bus cry a lot.
Let me say that I have never broken a Lenten promise. :)
Hmm, I've never given anything up for Lent.
I like it better that way. ;)
Two things: one, stick to your guns with giving up soda. And don't go to diet, that's worse. Soda is evil.
And two, what's with the phrase "rub one off?" I've heard so many people use it and I've never heard it before. Have I been encased in amber? Am I a fossil?
Don't ask where I heard it, I just did, okay?

Blogger was being weird with me. I don't always repeat myself like that.

Jesus does a lot of schvitzing when it comes to food. Are you sure she's not a reincarnation of Karen Carpenter in drag? Seems a shame to waste such lovely confection and baked goods.
I think we should just call it "Crash Wednesday" from now on.
I think Lent would turn out a liiiiiittle bit different, don't you?
