This Year's Broken Lenten Promises


We're now 7 days into lent and I've managed to impress myself with my less than half hearted attempts to accomplish whatever it is lent is supposed to accomplish. I guess I should go to mass or at least Wiki it.


  1. No cursing - that's even with my liberal definition of what's a curse. Like giving the finger is not a curse. Neither is calling someone a Douche bag.

  2. Making borderline tasteless comments on other people's blogs - Sorry Krysten and Stephanie and Candice and Malcolm. You others can go f yourselves.

  3. No soda - I don't believe I ever really committed to this one.

  4. Calling Sweet Christine from the Y Sweet Christine - It just has a nice ring to it. And I think she actually likes it. Maybe.

  5. Separating colors from whites in the laundry - I haven't done laundry yet but I'm pretty sure I won't do this either so I'm ceding this one. Plus it's 2009. It just seems wrong.

  6. Singing out loud to Every Rose has it's thorn - I thought I wouldn't even be tested if I stayed off the classic rock station.

  7. Eating after dinner - I've stuck that one out so far but it's not promising

So I'm pretty much back to my standard 'no wearing bow ties'

Your cussing rule sound like my students.

Glad to know I wasn't the only one that received a "border-line" tasteless comment.

Now go forth and drink a soda after dinner while telling all of your bloggy friends to f off.

Oh, and enjoy your pink undies and socks.

Well Krysten, you are the only one who deleted the borderline tasteless comment.

They're not pink, more like a grayish-beige

No bow ties? Like, at all? Sounds marginally easier than "no eating after dinner", but really, don't you think you're being a little hard on yourself?

You know I enjoy your borderline tasteless comments.
