Fat Tuesday/Ash Wednesday snuck up on me this year. I knew it was coming but I hadn't made a decision as to what to give up for Lent. Jeff and I finally nailed it down last night and it is not going to be easy. Looks like we're doing fast food, delivery/take out and beer (le sigh). We had to put a few "rules" around it for the "what if" situations. I had a few questions and Jeff had all the answers:
1) Does going to McDonald's for an ice coffee count? No, that doesn't count. We're mainly talking about food items so no sausage, egg and cheese McGriddle while you're there!
2) What if we go to a friend's house and they order pizza - can we have it then? No, we can't. We'll just have to bring food to make or eat before/after we show up.
3) Does Subway count? No (thank you GOD). Subway can be a relatively healthy alternative and there will be times where we need something quickly or we're on a road trip.
4) Since we can't order Pizza Hut, can we have a Tombstone or Digiorno? No. (I said no to this one. Jeff thought it would be ok but I think that defeats the purpose). If we want pizza, we have to make it. Make =/= thaw out.
I'm sure more questions will arise as we trudge through these next 40 days. In the mean time, I'll be having some beer and stuffed crust pizza from Pizza Hut tonight!
On another note, Sony is sick (sad face). We think that he has a pretty nasty ear infection. Oozage and everything - yuck. The poor little guy is so uncomfortable. He shakes his head and scratches at it all the time. His appointment is today at 11:30am so hopefully they can give him some meds that will take care of the infection. He has a history of ear mites, anyway. He is probably past due for a mite treatment and I know he's past due for vaccinations. I'm sure I'll get fussed at for the past due vet visit and his size.... he's a little on the chub side to put it mildly. Stay tuned!
