Self Indulgence
thy name is Rallentanda
I have to give up sweets for my health. Still struggling. I sneak one every once in a while. Try not to think about them in the next six weeks. Good luck.
No Fantales? How will you dentist pay for his BMW now?
ReplyDeleteMy dentist drives a Maserati. BMWs are for his kids.
ReplyDeleteha. i dont even want to think about the dentist honestly...mine growing up was named dr malice....
ReplyDeleteGood name for a dentist.

ReplyDeleteWow, now this is a voice from the past. How's the che guevara guerilla electric light orchestra goin'?:)
DeleteYou're so right: discipline - self-discipline - does not come easily. A lovely reflection on a common experience.
ReplyDeleteLent is not an easy option! Hope your sacrifice is worthwhile. I'm giving up facebook for mine:-)
ReplyDeleteI guess the sacrifice wouldn't be a sacfifice without the pain. Well done.
