Lenting Out some Addictions of my own

As you may (or may not) recall, Lent officially started last Wednesday and since the latest LJ tendencies among a couple of my Friends seems to focus on addictions... I am pleased to annouce that I am taking on a couple of addictions of my own: I have given up Pop and POUTINE for Forty Days and Forty Nights. While six days without Poutine may not be a feat for most, any who know me are surely skeptical that I have yet to falther but I assure you that I have not and will not fail within the next thirty-four days to come.

As for that infamous three-letter word that starts with "S" as

sunelis would put it (S to the E to the X), I would argue that after going without it in the past few months, I just keep telling myself that since it is not likely that I get anything remotely close to being as good as what I once had anytime soon... it is simply just best be worth the wait. Besides, should I really settle for anything less?

Resisting the poutine

Indeed knowing you... it will be a hard time for you no Poutine for 40 days... But since I also know that you have an IRON WILL I'm pretty confident in your ability to resist the calling... I've also got a feeling that after Easter we'll have a poutine orgy... ;-)

You do know that Sundays don't count for Lent, right? That if you actually counted Sundays, there are actually something like 46 days between Ash Wednesday and Easter?

Indeed, Sundays are not counted...

But, in general, I just go with the symbolic count of 40 Days and 40 Night because it is my recollection that starting on the last Wednesday (Judas spies on Jesus in Gethsemani)... Lent gives way to Easter "week" with the Last Supper on Thursday, Good Friday and then end on Easter Sunday.

However, for all intent and purpose, there will be no Poutine between Ash Wednesday and Easter. My only regret is that I did not have one on Mardi Gras (Shrove Tuesday) but this will be accounted for when I finally start my World Tour of Carnivals one of these years...
