So I know of a few things people are giving up..
Me - Bread and related breadlike items
Amanda - Fast Food
Monica - Alcohol
Shannon - Cheese
Melissa - Not participating
What is everyone else giving up? Or else who is not participating? I think it is fun to see if you have will power to give something up for 6 weeks.
Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days, because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. Lent begins on 1 March 2006 and ends on 15 April 2006, which is the day before Easter.
In the Roman Catholic Church, Lent officially ends at sundown on 13 April (Holy Thursday), with the beginning of the mass of the Lord’s Supper.

i have taken a page from the book of kyle and am also giving up most carbs...mainly breads and pastas. i would go all the way, but i can't give up popcorn. i know i don't have the willpower to do it, and since i'm not really a catholic, i don't really care.
Hey Kyle, I like Melissa am not participating in the abstinence part of lent. I forgot to call you back and let you know that we are meeting at the church tonight for YAG. See you there!!
Its not that I don't have the will power, its that I choose not to exercise it.
Yay for loopholes! And getting drunk in 15 minutes!
The "book of kyle", I like that! I'm not giving up popCORN either, it's a vegetable!
Ha ha...I remember the day the loophole was found :)
I think it is more fun and challenging without the loopholes! Let's just say I was tested and passed with flying colors when I was out with friends who were drinking for over 12 hours yesterday and I didn't have a drop...let me tell you all though, that jager bomb that got left in front of me for about 2 hours because the guy who bought a round for the group miscounted was the ultimate challenge...never in my life have I craved a jager bomb:)
And Kyle...popcorn is not a vegetable!!!!
Kyle, don't forget, I am giving up soda too...drank about 4 gallons of water in that 12 hours yesterday!
Yes it is. I didn't give up starches, I gave up BREADS. I have never heard that POPCORN is BREAD
