so I'm just wondering...

I just saw someone reply to that "writer's block" question stating that they are giving up LJ and blogging for Lent.

So that got me wondering if anyone on my f'list is Catholic, and giving up anything for Lent.

Is anyone giving up blogging or LJ?

Good thing I'm not Catholic - I don't think I could give up anything for 40 days, especially LJ!

someone else replied to the writer's block question that they were giving up food! haha that's funny - I guess they have a death wish?

that is all...

I'm an ex-Catholic (praise be lol) I do give up things this time of year I find it's a good way to break bad habits. I am giving up junk food though. I gave up tabloids last year and haven't looked back. Though when I was in Catholic school the nones made us commit to a good deed for 40 days like doing chores at home or saying a rosary or skipping our snack and giving the money to the poor. I think thats more in the spirit of things if you believe in all of that.

giving up tabloids seems like a very good thing - LOL! I am trying to give up junk food, but mostly because as you say it's a bad habit. and I need to be more healthy, like exercise more ... (my new year's resolutions are what I'm trying to stick to)

I like the idea of doing good deeds - like volunteering or helping others - that's always a good idea:)
