Actually, the conversation was about a week without sugar/sweets, not meat.
We went without television for the 1st week of Lent (movies still permitted). It was only momentarily difficult for Isa, who realized on Sat morning that there would be no cartoons. This week we're going veggie. We have not yet decided on next week, but we've discussed a week where NO money is spent.
The last week, in preparation for the gluttony of Easter is not sugar/sweets. I will be lamenting the loss of sweetened coffee, and Robbie & Isa will have to do without candy & chocolate. This was the part where the topic of lying came up. Although Robbie & Isa may consider eternity in hell a nice change to my nagging ; )

It's been an age since we last posted!
I've been enjoying my annual week(s) of back pain. I travel to LA on Thursday, so I'm hoping it's cleared up by then.
We're in the middle of the Chinese New Year at work, so work is relatively quiet. This holiday used to shut everything down for 3 weeks, but as our demanding delivery schedules encroach on other cultures, they've narrowed the holiday down to 5-10 days.
Robbie has been writing away on his book, surpassing the 100 page mark! He also met with a meteorite specialist the other day, and swapped rock knowledge over coffee.
Isa continues doing well at school and in her various activities. For Lent we've decided to give up 1 thing each week. Week 1 is television. Isa was reluctant at first, but it hasn't turned out that hard, as we don't watch much to begin with. She was happy that we are still letting her see the Arthur Spiderwick movie on Thursday!
