Giving up dieting for lent

[fluffymark]

First day of lent, and someone brought a huge and very yummy chocolate cake into the office. *lickslips*. Therefore, I am resolved to give up not-eating and therefore to stuff myself silly. Is this missing the point? *wonders* Last week I excelled myself in cooking vegetarian curry for *5* people and it was divine. I should do more of that. I like being able to cook again! *bounces*

Also - the brick of doom has been conquered. I have finished reading War and Peace. Finally! The epilogue is fascinating, isn't it? *nods* Now off to read something a bit ... er ... shorter. Probably with lesbians in. Or maybe my Norway guidebook (yes, I'm considering a trip to Norway as it appeals to my sense of strangeness!) Or something.

Postman has been bringing happy goodness this week. Firstly, a shipment from Japan bringing some Moi meme moitie goodness. Then a nice box containing Gin Truffles. And I'm expecting a big box of goodness from Amazon containing Chobits and Haibane Renmei and more goodies imminently. *happysmiles*

Ooooooh Haibane Renmei! Don't suppose I could borrow at some point? I've got episodes 1-4 and am desperate to know how it all turns out.

Have you seen Princess Tutt, by the way? If not,you should; the story is wonderful, the whole thing is gorgeously pretty, and it features a large amount of ballet.

Dancers at the end of Time? I know it also has a certain brick-ishness to it but it's far more uplifting and fun. (In a wonderful and pretentious way.) I easily get through that in no time at all 'cause it's just such a good read! Or the idea about lesbians seems like fun too.
Yay for you eating! (Veeeeggies... *prod prod*)
Bwahaha! You are well and truly infected by anime and manga now.
What did you buy from Moi meme Moitie?

Talking of food, libellum is cooking a risotto with mushrooms in (http://community.livejournal.com/bardcamp/2178.html) for the bardcamp reunion on Saturday. Have you sorted out something alternative for you? If not, best comment and let her know so she can put something mushroomless aside.

Grand that you remember me! *grins* thankyou for adding me, I've added you back. *laughs*. :) Good for you - I like your choice of decision to give up dieting for lent. One friend of mine who has given up chocolate, got her own back on another friend of mine, who said she'd given up buying lush products and books for lent. We all thought that was a bit easy, particularly her boyfriend, and then lo and behold, my non-chocolate eating friend suggests a visit around the charing cross road seconhand bookshops. Whether she forgot the recent earlier opinion, is a matter for the jury to decide........!

Are you going to Rose's gothic choir play? Haven't seen you for quite a while, so I hope everything is going beautifully for you! :)

Take care and all the best, Abigail.X :)
