Mardi Gras is upon us!

Time to feast on all those amazing things I will give up for the next 40 days.
Starting with King Cake.
Bacon.
Cinnamon bun pancakes.
And... brownies!
Laissez les bon temps rouler!

I will miss you sweet treats, but I will see you after Easter!

    No brownies for 40 days?!? Oh no!
    We never did the Lent thing growing up; I'm not sure why because I went to church my whole life, but it was something we never did. Perhaps because we're not Catholic or Lutheran, but I think other denominations participate, too. ??

    Anyway, I was talking about Lent last night with Caroline, about sacrificing something we love because of Jesus' sacrifice for us. She suggested I give up coffee and I promptly told her: "we don't do Lent." Ha! Anything to not give up my vices...which is the whole point, right?

    I'm weak.

    I hope Piper doesn't scream wildly for bacon these next 40 days! ;)

    Ha! I know bacon and brownies are my weakness... Jeff tried to give up coffee and swearing one year and it was a VERY bad lent for us! I should probably give up coffee as that is my ultimate sacrifice, but like you I just can't. My body needs coffee like it needs oxygen.

    I found baby Jesus in the king cake at the Relay meeting tonight! I was so excited :)

    Yay! Depending on which tale you believe... you will either have good luck or inherit money. Here's hoping you get a little bit of both.

    I'm debating on what to give up for Lent...should I do sweets too? I better hurry up and decide!
