This year I had a hard time deciding what to give up this year. I thought about dvds and books, but I've done the dvds the past 2 years, and books?
Well... I had a HORRIBLE time with that last year. I had forgotten before hand that we'd be going to TN during Spring Break.... There's an AMAZING Christian book store there, (Christian Book Warehouse) and I really had to fight the temptation to buy books. I mean when you see good Christian books CHEAPER than around here, it's hard to NOT buy them. Also, it's hard when your sister gets a 10% discount there since she's a student. Not only that, but Ashley informed us recently that there's ANOTHER Christian bookstore around there where NOTHING is over $5.00...
So, I knew that books would be too difficult......
Then Captain Lois suggested I give up Carmel Apple Ciders and Steak N Shake Barfaits (Parfaits)..... Those are my comfort foods..It's like I told her. You might as well tell me to give up breathing..Giving up BREATHING would be a lot easier than giving up Starbucks and Steak N Shake.
So, I decided... I'm giving up Caffeninated sodas... NO Mt. Dews or Cokes ULESS they are Caffeine Free... (I normally drink 4-6 20 ounze bottles A DAY) So, I'm giving that up, but I can still have my coffee (Which I don't drink often.. Only when I'm pulling a 12 hour shift. Like I will tonight and Friday night.)
That does make me wonder.... Is it right to compromise sacrifices? Oh, well..
