<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Day 1. So it is being written.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm given up restaurant takeout and delivery for Lent.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">But I'm being realistic in thinking I may have to teach my mother a signal for "Order pizza - Stat" when she's here and I don't want to make dinner.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Not absolutely sure but I may have to leave that as an option.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">I'm not even Catholic -- I am Episcopalian (or Anglican depending on what part of the world you are in) some Protestants do follow Lent. I attended Catholic schools since First grade and I've married Catholics (Doesn't that make it seem like I married a whole parish?!) making me familiar with this religious holiday. And what it means.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">40 Days of refraining from ordering in instead of cooking will probably be very good for my debit card also.
</span>

<span style="font-family:Georgia; font-size:10pt">Who knows, maybe after the neighborhood restaurants forget the sound of my voice, I may make the decision to call them less (not that I was even calling more than twice a week – max) without the assistance of a holiday.</span>
