    I gave up coffee. So far..I wanna kill someone..LOL!

    Lol... i think you should treat yourself to something with all the money you save not drinking coffee. Well unless you usually just drink the free kind you get at work...

    I'm giving up alcohol totally! going to be rough, I have a glass or 2 or 3 of wine almost every night!!

    I have also decided that my 3 year old is going to give up his pull-ups and wear his big boy unders!! (he's almost potty trained, we're just going to make him have to do it!!) And this is one thing we won't be going back to after easter!!!

    My first priest told me not to give up things but to add them, so this is the first year I will not be heading his advice, but maybe I'll use the money I save on wine and give it to charity, that should keep him happy up there!!!

    Good luck with that.... I've done the alcohol thing before and found it helpful to get a fun, playful glass to use for all of the WATER you will now be drinking. I also got some different flavored teas to help. It's hard... but you can do it. I LOVE your idea of setting aside the wine money for a charity- very positive.

    Oh, I'm going vegetarian for Lent--- we'll see how it goes. I'll miss bacon terribly!
