Fat Tuesday

I am what many would call a non-practicing Catholic. While I was raised in a weekly church going family, I stopped going regularly once I moved out of my parent's house. I still do the whole Christmas and Easter thing (which many weekly Catholics judge and I find that alone amusing) because it's important to my family and I don't mind going.

Anyways, all this religion talk is mostly to set up that I have decided to participate in Lent this year by foregoing coffee. Yep. It's gonna be hard.

I'm actually really interested though to see how it affects me.

For those who don't know I'm a daily coffee drinker. I love it. I get excited about going out for coffee how some people get excited for going out for a (real) drink. But I'm always up for a challenge and although it's not a large sacrifice, it is one that I want to take on.

Mornings at work are going to be the hardest. Maybe it'll even force me to go to bed earlier rather than cater to my nightowl ways. That's a fat maybe.
