My Weekend thus far...
Well I suppose it started off on Thursday night. BF and I went to King's Hawaiian restaurant for dinner. Yes, the ppl who make the bread. We got into an arguement on the way there over something relatively small.. >.< Got over it and had a nice dinner. The food was yummy... all in all it was a nice quiet evening. Friday was spent at a little hole in the wall japanese karaoke bar. It was a riot! I was very impressed with this huge.. (huge overweight not huge tall) white guy who spoke and sang japanese fluently. Drank lots of sapporo and had fun. So it's Saturday night... i'm at my friend's work office... she's stuck here translating an article .. (i'm here for moral support) Looks like we aren't going to make it to the movies tonight.... Good thing i've got a 4 day weekend! w00t! ^^

Continuing the catechism class ...
Sabby, to my knowledge (and i did some searching thru various resources) there is no where that says you can't wipe off the ashes from your forehead. It is a personal decision. We are reminded though, that it is also our christian duty to witness to Christ and that maybe walking around with a smudge on our face will draw questions and open up an opportunity to evangelize. Also, Ash Wednesday is not a christian day of obligation (those days we Catholics HAVE to go to mass. ie: Easter, Midnight Chrismas mass, etc) we don't absolutely have to get ashes on Ash Wednesday.
I finally decided what my lenten sacrafice will be... *deep sigh* I'm giving up sweets/chocolate/deserts for Lent. O-M-Gawd... this is going to be harder than I thought. We have a Valentine's Day potluck at work and most of it is desserts... ::tummy grumble:: .. and my bf bought me godiva chocolates for V-day.. I can't eat them until after Easter. >.<

What's the reason for ashes on Ash Wednesday?
To answer sabby's question an excerpt from this page:
As you know, Jesus retreated into the wilderness and fasted for forty days to prepare for his ministry. It was for Him a time of contemplation, reflection, and preparation.
By observing Lent, most Christians join Jesus on His retreat. Lent consists of the forty days before Easter, not counting Sundays, because they are always the joyful celebration of the Resurrection. Therefore, the first day of Lent is always a Wednesday. In ancient times, people marked times of fasting, prayer, repentance, and remorse by placing ashes on their foreheads, as in 2 Samuel 13:19, Esther 4:1-3, Job 42:6, and Jeremiah 6:26. This scriptural custom entered the church from Judaism, and it is most appropriate on Ash Wednesday, when we begin a period of sober reflection, self-examination, and spiritual redirection.
Traditionally, the ashes for the Ash Wednesday service come from burning the palm fronds from the previous year’s Palm Sunday celebration.
Any other questions? :P

20 Clues a woman should call it a night
1. I have absolutely no idea where my purse is.
2. I believe that dancing with my arms over head and my butt wiggling while yelling woo-ho is truly the sexiest dance move around.
3 . I've suddenly decided I want to kick someone's ass and honestly believe I could do it too. (ohh.. been guilty of this one >.< )
4. In my last trip to "pee" I realize I now look more like Tammy Faye Baker than the goddess I was just four hours ago. (Ok this just happens every damn time I drink.. drunk or not *sigh* add in red racoonlike circles from the alcohol and it's not a pretty sight)
5. I drop my 3:00 a.m. submarine on the floor (which I'm eating even though I'm not the least bit hungry), pick it up and carry on eating it. (hmm.. we usually go to after hours 24hr korean food.. yummmmm)
6. I start crying and telling everyone I see that I love them sooooo much. (OMG my friend does this.. you know who you are!!)
7. There are less than three hours before I'm due to start work. (uhh... how about a funeral? >_< )
8. I've found a deeper/spiritual side to the geek sitting next to me. (how come the fugly guy looks so darn cute now?!?)
9. The man I'm flirting with used to be my 5th grade teacher. (Ah juh shee~~~)
10. The urge to take off articles of clothing, stand on a table and sing becomes strangely overwhelming.
11. My eyes just don't seem to want to stay open on their own so I keep them half closed and think it looks exotically sexy.
12. I've suddenly taken up smoking and become really good at it.
13. I yell at the bartender, who (I think) cheated me by giving me just lemonade, but that's just because I can no longer taste the gin.
14. I think I'm in bed, but my pillow feels strangely like the kitchen floor.
15. I start every conversation with a booming, "Don't take this the wrong way but..." (actually.. everything i say when i'm drunk is loud.. and repeated several times)
16. I fail to notice that the toilet lid's down when I sit on it. (umm.. i've had this happen at home when i have to pee in the middle of the night and don't want to turn on the bathroom light and blind myself. yikes it's cold!)
17. My hugs begin to resemble wrestling take-down moves. (hm.. i don't think i do this.. but i know guys that do)
18. I'm tired so I just sit on the floor (wherever I happen to be standing) and take a quick nap.
19. I begin leaving the button's open on my button fly pants to cut down on the time I'm in the washroom away from my drink. (this is assuming i still have my pants on.. haha j/k ;o) )
20. I take my shoes off because I believe it's their fault that I'm having problems walking straight.
AAN get's credit for emailing me this list. hehe thanks hon!! 20 clues a man should call it a night coming soon...
