My fiance is quitting by using electronic cigarettes - sounds weird, but he hasn't had a real one in nearly 2 weeks. They're about half the price of real cigarettes too!

For lent? I honestly haven't thought about it. I think I'll try to find 5 - 10 min. each day to just be quiet...

Chasing Hawk, those woods behind your truck are just beautiful! (The truck is nice, too, but trucks don't excite me.)

Those of you who give up something for Lent, how successful are you? Do you take this more seriously than New Year's Resolutions? Is it easier, maybe because you know it won't last forever? Just wondering.

At what point does your hair catch on fire. When I met DH he had a yellow comaro. OMG I LOVED driving that car! Felt like I was flying, and in reality, I was!!

I'm not trying to convert anyone.

"When I met DH he had a yellow comaro. OMG I LOVED driving that car! Felt like I was flying, and in reality, I was!!"

I just had my "88 Camaro painted a pretty purple. The only one around here for sure! She doesn't fly much anymore, but I still love her. I am a car person too. My brother raced until he was in his 50's, and has a business building racing engines. It seems to be in our blood. Have you seen the 2010 Cam's? They are pretty cool looking, also glad the Dodge Chargers are back.
