20 more minutes left until the end of Fat Tuesday and all I can think of is this fat statue from Venice. I have no idea why. But as Starr and I decided tonight at the AMA networking/happy hour/panel discussion that we went to ,we forgot to eat all the typical “fatso” stuff that gives Fat Tuesday its name and we’re definitely not giving that stuff up until Good Friday so unfortunately, we’re not participating in Lent this year. I feel like I’m good at making a goal and sticking to it, but I’m pretty sure for the last 25 years I’ve given something up for Lent and not once have actually stuck to that decision. I usually stress myself out because I’ll give up something like chocolate (and yeah right I know myself better than to ever do that again since I’m totally hooked on it since before I was born and my Mom ate soft serve Dairy Queen chocolate cones all the time when she was pregnant) and then not follow it and then feel bad because I didn’t stick to that goal. So, whew, I feel so much better now that I don’t have that stress in my life. Now I can just focus on my really difficult New Years Resolution of buying a new CD every month
