While I may have been baptized Catholic, I am by no means religious. I think my mom even told me at one point that they just did it because both families were Catholic and wanted me to be baptized. 

That said, I think it would be interesting to try to give something up for Lent. I'm thinking if giving up meat, just to see what it's like and as a test of willpower, to see if I can do it. I don't eat much meat to begin with, just chicken and fish really. And Mark is always claiming he could be vegetarian, so I might goad him into doing it with me. I think the big thing will be trying to remember that I've given it up, and not accidentally forget and eat a hamburger or something. 

One dilemma however: I made lasagna Monday and half of it is still sitting in the fridge, full of Italian sausage.  Should I eat it, and start giving up meat tomorrow, or let it go to waste? Mark can always finish it off, but not if I convince him to give up meat with me. Maybe I can freeze it??
