I told my boyfriend I wanted to give up something for Lent. His response?
"If we give something up for lent then we go to church or something. I don't get the give something up without doing something spiritual."
Well, okay.... I don't know if I will go along with the whole "give up something in exchange for doing something spiritual" idea, but I will be giving up something for Lent: Fried food. Again, as my boyfriend said- "Do you even eat fried food?" In all reality, I don't. But there are days when french fries sound so good, and sometimes they are, and sometimes I am let down. If I'm going to order french fries, I expect them to be delicious. Hot, salty, greasy, deliciousness. But lately, the french fries haven't lived up to my expectation.
I never used to eat fries before I moved to Washington, D.C. And now I can't get away from them. So tomorrow, Ash Wednesday, is a good day to start fresh. As in eat, only eat fresh food. As in, no more fries at dinner.
What are you giving up for Lent?
