We all fall down – from weakness what with the lack of eating and all. Okay, fine. I’m exaggerating. It’s what I do best. No, that’s not true. What I do best is make wise ass comments.
So for those of you who are not Catholic, today’s a day of fasting. That means 3 small meals, no snack. While that doesn’t sound like a hardship (& it really isn’t) the mere fact that one cannot eat anything in between meals is enough to make one think they are famished.
Actually we are a bunch of wimps. It’s not like we’re doing the Yom Kippur thing. Now that is serious fasting. I’m not sure if the rules are different if you’re a moderate Jew or a conservative but I do know my friend & her family ate dinner the night before and then ate absolutely nothing until sundown the next day. Not even water. Nothing.
Then there’s me. I keep hearing things call out to me. Sounds from the refrigerator: “Come on. I know you gave up goodies but you can have a carrot or 2 or 3465. Sure you can. Pretend it’s just part of your dinner that you forgot to eat earlier.”
When I was in the basement getting the clothes out of the dryer, a bag of pretzels tried to jump into the laundry basket. They were claiming they’re not really snacks and who’s going to know if I ate in between meals, anyway.”
Oh, no. I’m having auditory hallucinations. It must be from hunger…
Did you wake up this morning and eat everything in the kitchen?
How is your weather shaping up for the next few days? Our weathermen are excited because we are getting a storm. Some computer models show us getting 2 or 3 inches of snow and a couple are showing snow we would have to measure by feet. I won’t believe any of it until it happens but I will try to think warm thoughts before it heads your way.
By the way….some models are showing it coming up the coast towards you.
