Once Again…
I mean, why, oh why did Super Tuesday and Fat Tuesday coincide? I meant to vote for Hillary Clinton, but ended up writing in Audrey Tautou. Damn, those hurricanes! Damn them! She’s not even American.
To top it all off, I was in a self-induced diabetic stupor from an over-indulgence of homemade chocolatey delights. Ah, yes. Yesterday was International World Nutella Day. And, I celebrated. Well.
I also had the honor of being rescued a few days ago by a high-flying, web-tossing super hero. The American in me was taken aback when Superman showed up on my steps, and I immediately pondered the idea of offering him candy.
And, now, the never-ending, guilt-induced Catholic question of the year.
What will I give up?
What will I give up?
Well, that’s easy.
Nutella and Politics…
Were there ever two things more at odds?

Cherrye…you are going to give up politics? Wow…I guess it is a good thing super tuesday is over!

Erin and Andrea - OK, OK…I lied. I am not giving up politics - or chocolate!
I am at a loss.
At least I didn’t eat meat today!

Just the sugar stupor I’m sure. Sorry about that.

I personally don’t give up anything for Lent. I don’t feel like that gets me any closer to Christ. My husband and I “do” something for Lent. We try to volunteer somewhere or help out at the church. We try to make Lent about being disciples for Christ in this Holy time rather than focusing on giving up something. So, yes, we eat our chocolate, drink our caffeine and do it happily in the name of discipling for Christ!

Well I hope Audrey Tautou wins.
Maybe you should be Amelie for lent.

Wow, Louise! That was a hard one. I am SURE you can do it, though! I have faith in ya. Did you go over to the nutelladay.com website to see all of the recipes?
Actually, don’t do it. At least until Easter!
Hey Brandi! Where have you been hiding out?? Last year I spent one hour each day doing something nice for someone else. THAT WAS HARD! This year I’m going to modify that. Maybe I’ll post!
J - That movie was great, but very odd. And, I can’t really give up politics! That’s too much!
