There's something downright unnatural about Valentine's Day occurring during Lent - all those folks who gave up sweets for Lent have to deal with increased temptation.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:My lovely husband went out and bought candy (Godiva) and flowers for me and the girls.

Lucky for us, we don't observe Lent.

I gave my husband some lovely gourmet pork (bacon) for the holiday. He's a Jew, but loves his pork.

(That just sounds so nasty.)

Enough already. It's my fault! Get over it!
That'll be $10, please.

I had already ordered the bacon for him.
I thought that it was strange that others found pork to be a Valentine's Day treat. I guess that I am not as quirky as I thought.

No, but not because of Lent (elwing doesn't observe Lent). It's because we're both trying to lose weight in preparation for our cruises later this year and chocolates seem somewhat counter to that objective.PlacentiaSoccerMom wrote:Lucky for us, we don't observe Lent.
