Mardi Gras

* Today is Mardi Gras, party like you'll be fasting tomorrow. I'm making a special Trader Joe's treat run (thanks Mom for the gift card!)
* Today is also Super Tuesday. Get yerself edjamacated and vote.
* Tomorrow's Ash Wednesday. Not actually a holy day of obligation, but people like it 'cause they're giving away free stuff (even if it's just dirt).
* Thomas got his first two pairs of shoes over the weekend. Stylin'
* My Lenten penance is to eat more, whether I feel like it or not, and whether Thomas objects or not. Also, no TV.
* The juice of 1/4 of a lemon, a spoonful of honey, and some hot water makes a delicious cough tonic. Stupid cough.
