apple_pathwaysIt's official: I'm giving up sweets for Lent.
I already gave away my stash of candy students have bought for me. Goodbye, Godiva truffles! *sniff*
So, just so I have some measure of accountability, I'll lay down here the rules I'm setting for myself.
List of Allowed 'Sweet' Foods
Basically, no: desserts, cake, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, candy, sugar, etc. etc. etc.
Day 1: Today, March 9, 2011.
End day: Easter! April 24, 2011.

sabriel75: let's do this!)
In other news, I got an iPhone! Woo hoo! I mean, seriously: I am SO behind the times, it's amazing I actually own a piece of technology my students would recognize on a first glance. It's such an odd feeling to be up-to-date! What else have I been missing?
ARE THERE JETPACKS YET??? :P

List of Allowed 'Sweet' Foods
- Any and all fruit, including juice, dried, and canned fruits, as long as there is no sugar added.
- Artificial sweeteners in diet soft drinks and for my coffee. (Hush! These are a completely separate addiction to be dealt with at a date TBD.)
- Cereals such as raisin bran, Kashi, etc. NO MORE Frosted Mini Wheats.
- Yogurt. NOT frozen yogurt or other sugary, yogurty dessert things, but my Stonyfield organic lowfat yogurt cups. They are good for my tummy!
Basically, no: desserts, cake, cookies, ice cream, chocolate, candy, sugar, etc. etc. etc.

Date: 2011-03-09 05:31 pm (UTC)LOL! You noticed, huh? I could probably answer this for myself, but: how specifically do you mean? What have I done that's strange? (Being strange renders me unable to identify and evaluate social norms on occasion! :P)
I am missing out on eBook readers. I just...eBooks?
I know it makes me sound like a curmudgeonly old man, but I like my BOOK books! (In fact: Andy Rooney, the King of curmudgeonly old men, was ranting about them on 60 minutes the other day. But I gotta go with him on this one: I don't want to read my books on a screen!)
(Oh, hush! It's only slightly ironic that I spend a good chunk of my day reading things off the internet.)
