Lenten Fast
last modified: Wednesday, February 21, 2007 (9:01:22 AM)
Today is Ash Wednesday and the start of my Lenten Fast. And yep, I'm giving up the usual: cels. Last year I thought it was incredibly hard but this year, with the start of a couple of incredibly, horribly, awfully expensive cels, I think I'm ready for a break. Last night (after I updated with what I purchased barely in time for the fasting) I deleted all of my bookmarks for YJ and cel dealers, and I may take a short vacation from Beta as well so I don't become tempted by the dreaded "For Sale" section. ^_^

Everyone wish me luck. This could be an interesting six weeks. I foresee a lot of video games and hopefully a fatter savings account in my future.

*LOL @ birdie''s entry XD*

Best of luck in your cel fasting, Baylor! Soda was what I gave up this year ;_;.

Being a "Shoulder Devil" though, I do have a question. Do sketches count as cels? :P

I''m right there with ya this year sister. We will be in pain together. Though, my bank account will be smiling greatly, I am sure. Here is to the two of us getting through this together. And thank God, I don''t have Birdie as a shoulder devil. @_@

Good luck!!!! We''ll be rooting for you. ^_~

Being non-Catholic, I didn''t remember that it was Mardi Gras yesterday until a seemingly homeless man told me that it was boobie day. >.< He was also asking people for money for "alcohol research."

Well thanks for the support from most of you. I also wish Ralphie the best of luck in his lenten endeavors. ^_^

As for birdie and DT... you can imagine the nice gesture I have reserved for both of you.

Pssst... klet... I''m not Catholic. ^_^ *Snicker* Alcohol research. I''ll have to remember that.

I''ve done this for several years, Baylor, and it''s always a positive experience. It just brings home how much time you can find yourself spending browsing through auctions and dealers'' sites, even if the money side of it is manageable. And it''s the best time to visit other galleries and leave the feedback that you''ve been meaning to do.

Plus, it forces me to save up, so that in April I can make a couple of major league scores without feeling guilty about them.

Vaya con Dios, Baylor
