Now I'm wondering...do other Catholics wait up until midnight on Ash Wednesday just so they can eat a snack?  Or am I the only one?
I actually watched my DVR'd American Idol after 10pm so I could cross that midnight threshold and snag a few bites of beef stew that my neighbor Dawn had brought over for dinner.
Oh, and a nibble of the zucchini bread my friend Shelley made for my birthday.  I don't think the tiny wedge of cornbread should count in my daily food log, though, since I ate it cold, standing up, right by the fridge and it took a lot of calories just to open the foil.
Busy day today-- but now I must change a diaper, make breakfasts and a bagged lunch, and try to become someone you wouldn't be embarrassed to see walk into a business meeting.  
Word for the day:   THRESHOLD
