Fasting

Two days of the year I wish I were still Protestant: Ash Wednesday and Good Friday. I just really have a problem fasting. I'm no good at it, I dread it, and I can't wait for the day to just be OVER already when I have to do it.

Today really dragged by. I was a good girl and only ate small things when I was feeling too lightheaded. I've decided for Lent to give up sweets and meat on Fridays and try to pray the Rosary every day. That's as good as I can do without getting all mean-spirited about it.

There are some days I wish I'd been RAISED Catholic so this would all feel normal to me.

Tomorrow I'm going to eat me a Big Mac for lunch. Can't wait.
