The Ultimate Sacrifice

Happy Fat Tuesday!!  One last day of gluttony and indulgence before Lent...aka the 40 days of spiritual preparation prior to Easter.  During this time, Catholics (and other denominations) fast and give up certain luxuries as a form of penitence.  Well, this year I am making the ultimate sacrifice.  For the next 40 days I am giving up purchasing makeup, purses, shoes and all other accessories.  I can honestly say I don't know that I have ever gone 40 days without purchasing makeup, a purse (or two), shoes, etc.  It will be a true test of willpower.  It may sound like a silly thing to sacrifice for Lent, but if you know me or have read this blog, you probably know its a big deal!  So, I will be spending the next 40 days "shopping" for makeup in my overstocked vanity and blogging about this experience :)  Wish me luck and send lots of prayers!!
