Happy Fat Tuesday!!
I’ve been thinking a lot about Lent and what I want to give
up this year. In the past I’ve given up
meat (I actually did that for several more months), given up coffee, chips (I <3 salty snacks), and I even gave up alcohol (when I was in college no
less). One year I added meditation to my
daily routine and I found that very cleansing.
So I got to thinking, “What am I going to do for this season of Lent?”
I was talking to my hubs about it over the weekend, and I
mentioned how I wish I had more time to read for fun. All my reading has been focused on text books
for B-School. Alas! There it was!
My answer for Lent 2012. I am
going to read for fun at least 10
minutes a day.
There are so many books on my reading list, including Bossy
Pants (which I downloaded onto my iPad almost a year ago), The Host (which I
started a year ago and got about 1/8 of the way through), The Help, Running for
Women (by Ms. Goucher), and The Fountainhead, among others. I’m going to kick off Lent with the Host, so
perhaps I can finally finish it! I’m
really excited to start this tomorrow!
As for Fat Tuesday tonight, I’m making slow cooker pork tacos for me and my hubs! I marinated the pork shoulder last night and put it in the slow cooker before I
left for work this morning. By the time
I get home it should melt right off the bone and will be delicious with corn
tortillas and all the taco fixings’.
After our Fat {Taco} Tuesday we might even go see a movie…we’re thinking
either the Descendants (with the Oscar’s on Sunday) or Safe House (which looks
bad-A).
What are you doing for Lent?
Do you like to cook?
What movies are on your “to-see” list?
