NUNS - wanna join our Lenten non-shopping spree?
Laurie and maybe Carol (or Carol's friend at least), and myself are now going in for No Unnecessary Needless Shopping and will be known during Lent as NUNS for short (copyright Laurie).
We had a discussion in Comments under my 'What are you giving up for Lent' post-- and I for one will walk around the lake next door (maybe not throw myself in, as it is -10 C today) or to the harbour or a museum and avoid all malls.
Only less than left of Lent!
Timeline:
"Lent is a forty-day period before Easter. It begins on Ash Wednesday. We skip Sundays when we count the forty days, because Sundays commemorate the Resurrection. Lent begins on 9 February 2005 and ends on 26 March 2005."

Excellent! I'm going to do a post on my blog linking to this one and I'm going to put a link to your blog on my sidebar. (I should have done that already but I'm slow.)
This could have a serious economic impact on Amazon.com as well as my local economy. I bet my credit card company calls. :)
Heck, I expect the President will call you about doing your bit for the national deficit!
What an interesting idea, although, being a pacifist, I can't see myself killing, or harming my VISA card by not feeding it properly. That would be cruel. I have my card on a strict diet, but starvation?
As it is, on this diet, my card is suffering. I caught it last night on the internet, eyeing new 18-125mm camera lenses, saying, "Feed me, feed me, FEED ME!" It sounded sort of like the plant in, The Little Shop of Horrors, though in this case, I guess one would call it the little card of horrors. Possessed plastic, what next?:)

Aisha, I should have read this post some days ago, yet still in time to honor Lent and cheer up the bank account that has been lamenting recently.
sister, read my latest post. I'd like to read your list!
Alexy and Paula,
Feed your credit card and starve your bank account -- or vice versa?
Cool, Paula -- you are welcome in NUNS!
Aisha
CArol!
Great -- you are with us then. We are four now I think...
And PIPS are hilarious: you so sincere looking on the right :) and I swear Yoko Ono is a PIP too...behind those shades.
Hmmm.
Lemme see:
Purgatory Is Possible Sistah?
Poet Insurgent Postpones Shopping
PIPs -- people in the pews...

I walked round the lake after work today-- in sunshine, watching a three-year old learning to skate, pushing a yellow plastic Fanta crate around.
