Lent

Fat Tuesday came and left, which means it's Ash Wednesday today - the beginning of Lent. For those who do not know what Lent is, please click on this link. Lent is basically the time period leading up to Easter (Holy Week: Last Supper, Death and Resurrection of Jesus Christ).
Initially, I wanted to give up chocolate knowing I would struggle with it, especially when I'm PMSing. However after further thought, I decided I will give up the internet after 5pm on weekdays. This means NO EMAIL, NO Blogging, NO Facebook, NO Tweeting. Not sure how I will survive??? I'm always connected. When J still lived in Montana, it would drive me nuts that I only could check my email once a week.
At work I'm constantly connected as well. Checking my emails, perusing different websites, facebook, blogs, tweeting...of course only when I'm on break ;) If it's not from a computer/laptop I use my iphone. At times J gets annoyed at me, for my constant need to check my email, facebook and twitter accounts etc. I can't even watch Tv, without being on my laptop or iphone. I doesn't brother me by all means, but I think J wishes I wouldn't constantly be distracted by the interwebz.  As for Saturday and Sunday, I'm allowing myself to be on the web for 2h only. Yikes! The 2h can be broken up as well: 1h in the morning, or 1h our in the evening, or 2h back to back.   Let's hope I succeed. One thing is certain it will be LONG lent season.
