If you learned some modifications during your shopping ban, that is great! Plus any progress or minor changes will add up. <BR/><BR/>-StephanieStephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09289348366926684135noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6477767650904868275.post-79614012885288481722009-03-31T23:14:00.000-05:002009-03-31T23:14:00.000-05:00Oh NO girl!!

I agree that the point of that kind of challenge is to be less focused on shopping, etc, so obsessing about it definitely doesn't mean you should keep with it.<BR/><BR/>I have not purchased anything since Ash Wednesday that was not necessary food items, the dogs' food or BARBRI [which I'm about to purchase]. Well, that's sort of a fib. I bought a package of pink bunny Peeps at the grocery store the other day, but I haven't opened them because I fear they violate the spirit of giving up shopping for Lent. <BR/><BR/>So maybe the success for me has been feeling the higher power to answer to? And, I have always been trying to convince myself to find ways to live life more simply, so this has helped somewhat. Anyway--I look forward to reading how the budgeting works out! You've inspired me to consider whether I can live without cable/DVR next year.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
