I’ve thought long and hard on it for two days now, and I’ve got NUTHIN’. 

We are a mere 48 hours away from the start of Lent, and I have NO idea what to give up.  Lent is something I really take very seriously, and have only broken twice:

• Delle and I gave up carbs one year, but then were tempted with Miss Jo’s poundcake.  We shoveled it in WITH OUR HANDS.  Needless to say, we had to serve penance that year.
• I had an Oreo two days into Lent last year, when I had given up chocolate.  Why?  Because it never occurred to me that Oreos are INDEED made of chocolate.

So this year, I’ve decided that I am going to open up to my readers.  That’s right: this year, YOU get to choose what I’m giving up for Lent.  You’ve got it, folks; I’m handing over my relationship to God for your benefit! (I kid.  Sort of.)

Here’s the rules:

1. It must begin with the letter “c”.  I don’t know why, but it just DOES.
2. I’ve already given up: carbs, caffeine, chocolate, and crabbiness.  So it can’t be any of those.
3. Steph suggests I consider the Presbyterian approach to Lent, and take on something instead of giving something up, ex. Charity - I could give 5% of my montly earnings to charity.

And that’s it!  Lemme know!

Okay, I SWORE I would not bitch about my skin again today cause damn that’s getting old, but I had to say: I didn’t hesitate to come to work today, because my skin has now calmed down to resembling a second-degree sunburn versus a glycolic skin-peel, but it still flares up from time to time.  And I got caught doing something that only sunburn (or chemical burn) victims would sympathize with: holding my metal stapler up to my cheeks, cause it was oh-so-cold.  I’m sure I looked like a freak who loves her Swingline a bit too much.

Y’all, something this silly should not make me so elated.

But I’ve been hysterical since it was pointed out to me.

The Valley Planet always releases the top (insert nouns here) for (the past year).  And guess who had votes submitted for Top Female Vocalist?!

MOI, that’s who!!

And what makes this victory even better is that I totally didn’t nominate myself.

This year.
