Going out to the bars. i know, its unusual, but if I focus that 'drinking' time on being at home and furthering my relationship with Mr. AOII, then I believe that is part of really embracing Lent. The more time I spend at home focusing on my happiness, and getting to know my family again. oh yeah, and carbonated drinks.

I gave up regular sodas for diet ones for my diet, but now I will try to give up ALL carbonated bevs.
