Bring on the fish

Today is Ash Wednesday, the starting of lent. I'm Catholic and today is fasting. We can only eat little meals and no meat. I really don't know why we do this, but we do. When I was little my mom told that Jesus gave his life for us and for lent we can give up something for him. For the next 40 days will be interesting. I will be giving up candy/Ice Cream. I love Ice Cream. I have some about every night. I don't know if I can make it. Also during lent we can't eat meat on Fridays. You have to be very careful of what you eat. Once I was making eggs and not thinking, I put ham in it. My dad comes over and stares at me. It hits me that I can't eat that. I had to pick out the ham one by one. What was really hard was birthday parties. Having pizza. I could only have cheese pizza while other people have pepperoni. As you get older it's not that bad. When I came home today, I saw a brand new tarter sauce jar on the counter. Fish. I'm not in love with fish, but I can hack it. For every Friday now we have fish. This is the time were we clean out the freezer of fish from our last trip. My dad for some reason, is pumped about that.Can't wait until Easter:)
