Fat Tuesday

In honor of Fat Tuesday, we went out to dinner. Since we normally frequent places like Chick-fil-A and Five Guys, it's a rare treat for us to eat a non-fast-food restaurant.



We went to the Double Wide Grill, a cute place in the South Side, because we had a Groupon for there that was expiring soon. It was delish!





It's finally getting a teensy bit warmer here, so we decided to burn off some of those calories by walking the mile home. I even switched out my puffy parka for my much-cuter-but-less-warm wool coat.



So now it's Ash Wednesday. The first day of Lent. For the next forty days, we're going to add something good and subtract something bad from our daily routines.

We're going to add daily Mass as often as we can. A little boy in Adam's Sunday School did this last year. And if a second grader can do it, so can we, right?

We're going to subtract wasting time on the computer. It's our biggest weakness. I am going to severely limit the number of blogs I read on a daily basis. Adam's going to stop visiting cracked.com - his favorite time waster of choice.

We're off to go get our ashes!
