Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday is tomorrow which means the beginning of Lent...which means it's time for me to step up and give up some of the things I love. Every year I call on the old faithfuls - giving up soda, caffeine, chocolate, and my ever so trailer trash favorite - cursing. This Lent kind of sneaked up on me so I'm not fully prepared as to what I plan on dismissing or gaining for the next 40 days. I'm sure I will call on my favorites, but I'm thinking about really taking stock of things and seeing where my I, as a human, need improvement. After all, Lent is a time of introspection. I guess I only have a few hours left until I have to make the call and 40 days to make sure I follow through.

I'd like to express the intentions of my lent promise through a monologue from Notting Hill starring Julia Roberts and Hugh Grant:

Grant: "Well as you all know, I've been a bit down in the mouth lately [role character: That's an understatement, I've seen dead men in better form.] But I would like to tell you all that I hope to round the corner and henceforth promise to be impressively happy."

well, i've already eaten chocolate, but i have severely restrained from my use of the colloquialism that was born in the double wide.
any and all suggestions are greatly appreciated.

and love love the nottinghill reference.
