"You're Mormon you don't have to do lent you sacrifice stuff all the time i.e. tank tops and three hours every Sunday! EAT THE CAKE!"-Bestie Juli

I think the girl is right! Us Mormons choose to give up stuff all the time...why am I doing Lent? Sayonara Lent! I do kinda feel like I'm letting Brooke down, and even Diana who sent some support! Sorry!

Through Lent I have learned some things (get ready I'm getting deep haha). I've learned that I don't need to eat candy or treats just because they are in front of me or because someone offers. I've learned that my will power is a lot stronger than I though...and maybe not as strong since I'm quiting (woops). Although I'm giving up Lent I'm really going to try harder to signifantly cut down on my sugar intake!!! That sounds good right?

Thanks for the words of wisdom Juli!

top o' the mornin to ya!

I can't stop saying that today! I think my co-workers are ready to start their St. Patty's day celebrating a little early just to get through the day with me! Happy St. Patrick's Day (in my best Irish accent of course).

Update: I haven't had a piece of cake yet (I know it's only 9:30am I still have ALL day to stare at it). But I do have to let you know I licked the bowl. I couldn't help it!!!

here's the thing...it's chocolate cake!

I've been doing pretty good with Lent, and by pretty good I mean I haven't had any treats. Not one. I don't even lick Blaine's spoon after he eats my favorite/the best peach ice cream ever(which he seems to eat like every night, right in front of me)!

Yes, I've been tempted with the abundance of Easter candy down the isles of King Soopers, candy at work and finding chocolate Twizzlers at Wal-Mart (I actually bought the licorice and it's sitting on the top shelf of my cupboard until Easter morning). But I don't think I've had any temptation like what I will experience tonight. You see I'm making this for my friend's birthday at work tomorrow.side note: I made one birthday treat last year for one person and all the sudden I'm dubbed the birthday treat maker forever!?!?! People even come up to me a few days before their bday putting in special requests! Sheesh!

I won't get to lick the bowl, or my fingers after unwrapping each Reese's cup, I'll smell it baking in my house and I won't get to taste the end results. All day I've been seriously contemplating if this whole Lent thing is really worth it. I mean really??!?! I actually haven't ruled out the idea yet of giving it all up for a huge slice of this cake paired with a tall glass of milk.

This is gonna be tough!
