I'll be celebrating by trying to get support for HR 4048 on the DFL platform: I posted about it here.

Long live New Orleans! Have fun, Chuck!

Um, and by that I mean she’s taking 13 credits and hosting a conference on top of her full time office duties this week.

And nothing wrong with taking 40 days to try to weed out an undesirable habit.

An undesirable weed habit?

(I haven't commented in a week, and now I pull that out? Crap.)

Good luck w/ that alie, you're gonna have to give up TV all together, or invest in high quality ear defenders.

Nah, I have digital cable, so I'll just watch artsy fartsy movies on IFC and Sundance.

That's where the suffering will come in, I suppose.

Now, if you’re giving up something like, stabbing yourself in the leg with a fork… then that’s pretty cheat-y.

I’m giving up TV for lent. The idea of giving up something for lent is that they time and/or money you spent doing/having the item is suppose to go to God. So if you give up chocolate, that extra money should go to your church. Or if you give up TV, that extra time should be spent thinking about God or working in the service of God.
