- Utensils - use your hands or utensils foreign to you (e.g. chop sticks)
- Hot water - take only cold showers
- Your Bed or a bedding item (e.g. pillow(s) or blanket(s))
- Pants - wear skirts, shorts, or dresses
- A half hours sleep - Yes, wake up or go to bed a half hour early
- The snooze button - depending on how long you snooze for, this might be the same as number 5.
- App(s) - clear your phone/tablet of any apps for 40 days or maybe just one.
- Selfies - goes well with number 7
- Texting - call, email, write a letter, send a card, or go see people in person. OMG, you might actually have to talk to people.
- Swearing - I tried this one once, I didn't make it to the end.
- Shopping - this one is sorta on my list. I am claiming 2015 an un-consumption year. No buying anything unless it is absolutely necessary.
- Procrastination - this one probably should be on my list.
- Wear the same 4 outfits throughout Lent - this one sounds hard for someone who works in the corporate world. I would probably do 5 - 3 work, 1 gym, and 1 casual. Then 1 day a week would be nudist day. Wait, does gym clothes count as an outfit?
- Work or school - I'm not sure about this one, but my last day at work just happens to be the first day of Lent.
My kids think soda and junk food should be our choices this year, but I do those every year. I'm thinking numbers 6, 11, and 12 would be good choices . I would do 4 and/or 13 if I knew where my job situation was. I'll have to think about whether it is best to skip Lent or suck it up and go for it.
What are you giving up?
