Missing Carnival for me was giving up a lot.

However I can use as an example one on the commander in chief’s  list:

I am definitely giving up not getting into any political discussion about Obama’s crazy economic ideas or his stimulus package.

I still however, am staying  involved in making sure that we get a universal health care plan in place and that we do not allow offshore drilling off the California coast.

I would like to give up house work, but unless I get Rosy to come and live with me, that is not going to happen, unless I want to live in a dirty home.  NO!

I love a great glass of wine, and I could give that up.

I could also give up going to the Eagle’s nest on a Friday to meet friends.

Nah.  I think the political discussions would be enough.

What are you giving up for Lent?
