the worst thing about lent is not getting to eat chocolate or watch ESPN when she has just gotten to that time of the month.

Aw! No chocolate? That's a medical supply in those cases!

don't think I haven't considered using the excuse, but it feels too much like cheating.

Hmmm. Technically, Sundays are not part of lent.

Yes. But today is not Sunday.

Its a day with sun isn't it? Therefore it is a sun day.

Darn. You are too smart for my poor attempts. I will applaud you for your strenght, then!

if it's too early in the day to start drinking.

There's a possible loophole of having some completely unsweetened chocolate, which has the chemicals but not the same pleasure.

Oooh. Didn't think about that.

I have some of that about, actually. Thank you!

hands her bff a rootbeer and smiles, whispering "It tastes kind of like black licorice."

sips and agrees. "thanks dolly dearest. That helps"
