40 Days of NO ICE CREAM.

Today is Wednesday, February 22nd 2012 which just happens to be Ash Wednesday or for those of us who are Catholic....the beginning of Lent.  Traditionally, the purpose of Lent is conversion; meaning that Catholics are supposed to leave behind an old way of living and reform their lifestyles.  For many people this means giving something up for the 40 days between Mardi Gras and Easter.

Top 10 Things People Give Up for Lent

1.  Alcohol

2.  Chocolate and Sweets/Candy

3.  Cursing

4.  Facebook

5.  Television

6.  Junk Food

7.  Soda

8.  Smoking

9.  Texting

10.  Gossiping

This year I decided to give up ice cream and candy (which includes chocolate but does not include cake, cupcakes, or cookies).  I also want to keep my dorm room a little cleaner than it is normally kept.  So in honor of the beginning of Lent...pictures of delicious ice cream, which I can now eat in a little less than 40 days : ]
