I hope this isn't crossing the line here. Let me know if it is, Mark.

Did anyone give up anything for Lent? If so, what?

My answer:
I gave up coffee. Mostly because my coffee pot broke and I can't afford a new one, plus I have some digestive issues, which coffee makes worse. I didn't give up caffeine, but giving up coffee eliminates a lot of caffeine. I'm pretty tired.

Nope. Not Catholic but I do need an excuse to give up my newest addiction - red hots!!! I munch on these things all day.

Good luck, Erika!

Kelley, so far it's going pretty well. I don't have easy access to coffee, so I drink tea, which pretty much takes care of my caffeine fix. I think the diet is going to be much harder than this coffee thing...although the other day in the grocery store I walked by the best squooshy cookies in the universe and wasn't tempted at all, but when I walked down the coffee aisle and smelled that great coffee smell, it was like the thing that was missing from my life.

Well, Easter will be here soon.

They're iced sugar cookies. The cookies are really soft, and the icing is like a quarter inch of pure sugary heaven. The grocery store bakery doesn't make them, but I've only seen them at a couple of places, so it must be like a store brand or something.
