You Know It's Ash Wednesday When...

1. People keep looking at you weird (more than usual) and you forget why until you get in your car and look in the mirror and see the giant black cross on your head.

2. Parochial School girls insist on wearing their bangs plastered to their foreheads.

3. You would kill your sweet old granny for a hamburger.

4. You are only one day in with 39 days to go and already slipped on your thing you gave up for Lent...twice.

P.S. Lent is not an excuse for giving up junk food and subsequently getting into shape for spring...it's just a perk of being Catholic and laying off the Oreo's for 40 consecutive days!
