04:03:14 Pancakes
Pancake Tuesday. The day before Lent begins. My last day to eat chocolate for 40 days...
I tried to reason with my family that I might give up chocolate for 39 days with one single, solitary day off for Sian's 16th Birthday. One day to eat a slice of her birthday cake (A Malteaser cake that I plan on trying to make....) They told me that would be cheating. That a real sacrifice is giving up for 39 days AND the day of Sian's birthday. And so I sat down and ate a big block of chocolate in front of the tv tonight. One last indulgence before tomorrows day of fasting and abstinence....
