Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days, because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. Lent begins on 9 February 2005 and ends on 26 March 2005.
In the Roman Catholic Church, Lent officially ends at sundown on 24 March (Holy Thursday), with the beginning of the mass of the Lord’s Supper. http://www.kencollins.com/holy-04.htm I didn't give anything up when it started. But i've stopped eating mcdonalds completely a couple of weekends ago. :) |

I gave up chocolate last year and that went ok; i didn't slip.
this year i've decided to give up smoking and i've cheated once :( besides that, i'm doing good i'm not religious, though, so Lent doesn't have any sort of church-y connotation for me. |

I almost got some sex today, but decided against it because it would require me to leave my house.
