Fat Tuesday!

The Lenten season is upon us again. I can't believe how fast this year is going! Every year I try to give up something that will be challenging and a sacrifice. In years past this has included fast food, candy, and even caffeine. No one panic, I won't be putting anyone through me in full caffeine withdrawl. Not a pretty picture, especially at work. This year I am giving up two things. First, fast food. It's not good for me and I tend to eat it far too often. It is a total lack of organization on my part. It's easy, fast, and virtually everywhere. I need to do a better job of planning and bringing something healthy to work. So today of course I binged on California Taco to hold me over for the next 40 days. LOL!

Secondly, I am giving up alcohol for 40 days. Now, I realize some of you are wondering what kind of lush is she? That's her idea of a sacrifice? No I am not a closet alcoholic. I am however a social butterfly who enjoys hanging out with her friends at every chance and I do love my micro brews. I have a rough day at work and instead of going to the gym I meet up with everyone to vent over a few beers. No more of that. So, I will essentially be happy cab for everyone.

I've started running again and I'm feeling good, so not only will these things be a challenge for me to stick to my guns, but they will be good changes. Changes that I hope to continue after the season is over.

So anyone else making a sacrifice?


Ooooh and I've had a really good idea rolling around for an OBC post since I see we are totally lacking in material. Try to check that out tomorrow.

Later gators!

Brief Update

Boy, the first week of Feb has just been kicking my ass. Work has been a zoo! I updated the 2009 concerts list and tried to link the artists' website when possible. It is shaping up to be a helluva good year for shows.

Also, going to give a mini shout out to out to a side project I'm involved with. Check out the OBC. There are a few of us who are going to try to keep up this site and make it more of a current events/politics kind of blog. I hope to have something up in a day or two.

It is positively gorgeous outside and I intend to get a lot of errands/work done today. Have a great day gang!
