Lent!
Tomorrow is Ash Wednesday. I will be giving up the sweet, warm beverage that makes up at least 20% of my daily liquid intake and 90% of my soul. This sweet nectar, my friends, is coffee. Please pour a little of your morning automatic-drip out for me tomorrow and pray for my co-workers, who will be working with a very unresponsive Hil for at least the first week of the reflective 40 days. I did this once in college and it was difficult. Ay dios mio!
Are you giving anything up this Lenten season?

ahhh...it seems like it was just last year I was blogging about giving up coffee for lent! I know you can do it friend!
I'm giving up shopping, no makeup, no clothes, no fancy bath products. I'm in new territory here!
Well, Hilary - I'm impressed. Your foray into the "hard-hitting" journalistic field of blogging seems so natural...like a pro!
Wow. Giving up coffee, huh? I think smoking was easier to give up - there are days when I would chew off my own fingers for a cup of coffee (were it somehow necessary). You brave, unfortunate woman!
I plan on giving up hope for Lent. My job is gonna help me with that.
Good luck, and I'll pray for Ryan and your co-workers!
Like I told Hil last night, I am giving up champaign for Lent. No longer will I stumble around at parties with my leather pants, aviator shades and overflowing bottles of "bub". Basically, I am giving up being cool for Lent.
I couldn't come up with anything that was "reasonable" and not setting myself up for failure, and at the same time was still a real sacrifice. :-( I admire you, good luck!!!
Day 2...how goes the coffee hiatus?
In an ironic twist of fate, Bill gave up sweeets for Lent and yesterday (Ash Wednesday) a tub of chocolate chip cookie dough arrived that he had ordered from one of his students.
Hope it's still good in 39 days!
Eeeek! You are a brave, brave woman for facing the impending grumpiness that is caffeine-deprivation. I'm just giving up sugar for Lent, so now I feel like a wuss.
