Lent

I'm not Catholic but I understand the point of Lent and have always thought that's something I could get on board with. I mean, the spiritual awareness and what not... it's a good thing. Well that is in theory... when it comes down to actually coming up with something I could live without for 40 freaking days it becomes less of a spiritual awakening and more of a "OH CRAP! Buuutttt I NEEEEEEED it!" sort of thing So I've been trying to think of something I could sacrifice that I would notice but not suffer extraodinarily without.
    
Of course there are the funny things like:
      Cuban Cigars... I could give those up, no problem... but yeah... not so much in the way of sacrifice.
      Sex... Easy... gave that up ages ago... stupid single mothering and crap gettin' in the way!
      Eating my boogers... DUDE! I quit doing that in like 11th grade!
     
Then there are the things I could pretend I could give up but I already know I'll fail before I finish composing this post:
     Facebook... yeah... Let's not pretend people... it ain't gonna happen.
     TV... same.  I mean, I might could give it up for a week MAYBE but 40 days? NU UH!
      iphone... Let's just move along people... nothing to see here! Don't make me kill you!
     Sarcasm... it's pretty much the only language I know.
     Cheese... Sure I'd lose 75lbs but yeah... NO!
     Make-up... That's really more of a public service. I wouldn't do that to those poor souls forced to look at THIS mug all day...


So were back to realistically trying to figure out what to give up... This is where I'm completely stumped. Isn't there like a time frame for these sacrifices? Catholics only don't eat meat on Friday during Lent right? I think there are some things I could give up most days as long as I can indulge once a week.


Ok... I'll decide by the end of the day but I think I know. I'll give up red meat (actually not that hard), candy (also not all that hard) and drum roll please.... red wine. EEK! That's gonna be rough... I think I can, I think I can...
