Lent & giving up glitter

I had a friend tell me once that her guy friend gave up "glitter" for lent. .. .oh gosh i wish glitter were the vain of my existence .. but alas it is not ..therefore ..i give up .. fast food .. here we go .. 40 days .. (and a birthday included in that) ..

i was just thinking if i were catholic and had to do this lent "thing" every year i would never succeed .. i mean my birthday is right in the middle ..whatever i would give up .. well i wouldn't give it up for my birthday . .. thats what birthdays are about .. the "not giving up ..but giving into" . . . .. im just saying.
