LENT

I can't believe how fast this year has seriously flown by. I remember last year's Lent

I have actually really made a difference in my life with last years fast. It took me a little while to watch the cussing, but now I'm very aware of what comes out of my mouth and try to find other words to use. Do I still cuss? sure. But maybe 80% less then I did. To me that's a success!

So this year I decided to make another big change.I'm sure we're all guilty of this but I am a social media addict. I spend more time on facebook then I do any other website, simply because it's attached to my phone.

So this year, I'm giving up Facebook. I highly considered giving up all of social media, (facebook & twitter)But I decided to give up the worse of the two. I gave myself a few rules though. I wont be logging into my personal one, but I will be logging into our business one simply because I need to upload pictures and keep my cast members up to date.

And then once Lent subsides I'll see how I feel about it and might give myself limitations on using the website. I just find it more stressful, degrading, drama, and a huge time waster then anything. I'm ready for this change.

If you celebrate Lent, what are you sacrificing?

I'm Failing

My lent vow is failing me. I'm really trying not to cuss but it seems this was the worst week to stop.

You see, my mom is in town as I mentioned previously, which means there is scrabble and various other board games to play which means there is cussing to be said.

You know what's even worse? I forget to not cuss, and then as soon as I say something naughty, I quickly bash myself for saying it, by saying something along the lines of "shit, I just cussed". "damn it, I did it again"


I feel like a complete failure. I guess the positive side is I'm becoming more aware of my potty mouth, so maybe in time, while I become more aware of the things coming out of my mouth it will come more naturally to choose a different word.


Or, if that doesn't work, my mom said she can wash my mouth out with soap as she once did when I was a kid for saying a whole series of bad words in one sentence in a mean demeanor.


I've always had a smart mouth, and swear words have always been apart of that. But not for long, I tell ya! I'm gonna beat this! :)

Ash Wednesday

It's about that time of year again. For those of you that don't know Both C and I are Catholic. Although, sometimes we slack in the church department ( okay, most of the time) we still have our values and religion installed in us.

Actually this year, one of our New Years resolutions was to find a church in our new area and start attending at least once a month. I think after I post this blog I'll get to work on that.

Anyhow, I always practice giving up something for lent, as it helps me to redefine myself and reconnect with my religion. This year will be no different.

last year I gave up all fast food. I know it doesn't sound like much, but when you're on the road as much as we are and have to count on eating out while on the road, it was hard! But I made it. And to this day, I always try and choose something other then fast food and limit my intake. It not only has helped my health but also my wallet.

This year I'm doing something for my soul.I've decided to give up cursing. I do it way to often and sometimes in a mean way, especially when I'm mad at C. I don't think there is anything positive about cussing or using mean words.

It will be hard, especially with all the bad drivers around here (LOL!) but I'm going to make a very serious effort to install this during lent and I hope it will stick afterward too.

I've decided that telling myself to do this probably wont be enough so I'm also going to make a curse jar. For every word I have to stick a quarter in the jar.



Wish me luck!
