I am not catholic, and have never adhered to the no meat laws for lent, but I have used the time to try to give up something bad or start a healthy habit...
Today at lunch I went to subway and brought my scrumptious chicken sandwich back to work to eat and an older lady in the cafeteria asked me what I got. I told her it was chicken and I swear to you she looked like she had just been shot in the chest. "but you DO know it's Ash Wednesday right?" Oh but see I'm not catholic. "you're what? You don't give up meat for lent?"
I had to give her something positive. "dont worry, for Lent I'm giving up promiscuous sex, alcohol, and shaving my legs."
Oh I could have died with the look on her face. Maybe I should give up sarcasm to old old ladies....
Re: I've got Lent covered...

We are catholic and I am not giving anything else up for Lent because I have given up many pleasures that are not safe for the baby! So take that lol....
