My Lenten Promise...

So as I confessed at the start of the Lenten season, Ryan made me I gave up sweets for Lent. I was very diligent until I read that pesky verse about our Lenten promises being about faithfulness and trust rather than perfection. WIth a verse to stand on, I had a sweet treat once a week without feeling like a failure. Notice I said once a week...

...which brings me to this week. Monday it was an ice cream sandwich after dinner. I mean is ice cream really a "sweet"? Tuesday it was a Java Chip Frappo (recall that I don't consider coffee drinks to be sweet except this one because it is like sucking down chocolate and whipped cream san any taste of coffee). But today, today my friends, I have really gone and done myself in.

No Bueno- peanut butter cupcake & Java Chip Frappo 

Ryan would not approve of this. Jesus would definitely not approve of this! I swear I just couldn't help myself. Maybe it is the sunny breeze that made me think of summer and sweets. Or perhaps the fact that I am taking a vaca (from housewife duties) for the week. I mean I went into Starbuck's to get me a little pick-me-up to cure the jet lag; just one harmless little drink. I stared that peanut butter cup right in the glass case and said no, no, no, but he just jumped right into that sweet treat to go box.

I guess I am on a strict no sweets diet until Saturday when we host Liz & Win's dessert and champagne couples' shower tomorrow when Elizabeth & Barry come to town and we treat them to American Cupcake.

Tell me again, how long until Easter??
