on whether or not to do the whole "lent" thing. I'm not catholic, and I've never done it before, but this year I was thinking that it might be a good excuse to take advantage of the next 40 days to eliminate something from my life. Adam and I have been discussing budgeting woes... it's hard going from being a 2-income, 2 people family - who seriously can do almost anything if we really wanted to - to being a 3 person family... thinking about income and what that's going to look like. We'll definitely make sacrifices we've never had to before, and I think a lot of those will be easier than I think they will be.
One of our major downfalls is eating out. In fact, I would say that's our most major downfall overall. I don't love grocery shopping... or meal planning. I don't love cooking. I don't hate any of these things either, but I go back and forth between being really good about it and skipping a few weeks... or months... whatever. :)
So, I'm thinking I'll give up eating out for Lent. Entirely. No more Starbucks runs in the morning... no more spontaneous Flancer's french fries runs, no more wings from Buffalo Wild Wings on a friday night... just good meal planning and homemade meals from now until Easter. I think it'll be a good thing. I'm a little tardy getting started... but I'm gonna do it anyways. :)
