MARDI GRAS

Well for some today was Mardi Gras, a special day of celebrating I don't even know what. So how about a little history/ info on why there even is a mardi gras. It appears after thorough research using wikipedia, that Mardi Gras is the final day of Carnival, the religious, mostly Roman Catholic, season before the fasting of the Lent season. So they call it fat Tuesday, which occurs just before ash Wednesday on which we begin lent, the 40 days of fasting. Fasting was previously more strict and concerned meat, fish, eggs, and milk product and only one meal was allowed each day. But today it is considerably more relaxed. As far as I'm aware (what we do) now-a-days, on Friday’s you don't eat meat, but fish is allowed, and for the 40 days you either give something up, do something, or both. But my family likes to go the extra lenient yard, and we can do whatever we gave up on Sunday, which usually meant I gorged myself with sweets. This year I might have to do something different. I think I will do some form of exercise, be it rock climbing for an hour, running for thirty minutes, or lifting weights, every day. On top of that I shall give up sweets. Sweets= cookies, ice cream, and candy. See, not only is this a religious time, but also, it's a reason to be healthier. Now the count-down is on. And I'll have to give a daily update of how I'm doing, to make sure I don't cheat.



What we did today:

we learned "shorty" originally meant a young man, or just someone younger than you, but is now more commonly used as a 'fine female'.
