Hell in a Handbasket
That’s where I’ll be going after breaking my Ash Wednesday fast today. *pfft* Father J’s gonna smudge a big ashy “X” on my forehead tonight while giving casting me the evil eye… I just know it.

Oh my gosh, I loved this - thanks for the giggle! It’s my first time to comment on your blog, but I wanted to let you know that you made at least one Catholic Mom smile today. I’m fasting too, and feel the strain kicking in, but somehow your little video motivated me! Thanks!!! Lisa from CatholicMom.com
REPENT, SISTER! :o)
I’ll pray for your soul tonight during Mass (after I daydream about eating popcorn).
Wow, you are one brazen sinner! I think if you just eat enough of that popcorn, it could be considered a meal. I’ve been so focused all day on what to give up - forgot about the no snacks. Oops!
I do like your new little movie feature. You are my geek hero.
When I worked out today my trainer told me he had broken his fast too! Seriously though, I did not understand what Ash Wednesday was so he explained it all to me.
@Lisa: What an honor! I’ve known about you ever since I tried to register my domain and found that it was already taken. I had no idea! Looks like I should’ve done my homework before starting my Spaces blog, huh? Anyway, I’m absolutely thrilled that you read and posted to my blog today. Thank YOU for gigglin’ w/me.
@Mannyed: Yeah, the Hubs is putting on the pressure, too. He made me feel so bad about this post that I amost deleted it. Can you believe it? Glad I didn’t. It was like some cyber-confession, or something like that. I really do feel bad for my lack of self control. Sort of.
@Jane: Brazen? Oh no! I tried to control myself, really I did. You mean it didn’t show in my video? Messing with my eating pattern is big to me… perhaps I should go back to Lutheranism. (And I still haven’t figured out my “Lenten Promise” yet, either. Keep me posted on what you decide, k?)
@Deannie: Cool! Now I don’t feel quite so bad, seeing as how your trainer gave in like me. See? Catholics should consider us mini-multi-meal people! (They say that’s the best way to maintain your weight, ya know.)
You are too cute! I’ll say a prayer that Father J isn’t too hard on you!
Hugs,
Cordaville
@Corda: Actually, I got Father M… the one who visited my CCD class. And he was rather kind. But he smudged my forehead pretty good, almost like there was a hidden message there. (I’ll keep you informed.)
For shame! I managed to fast on Wednesday with a degree of success. I managed to not snack anyway.
