When Someone Else Says It Better

I could have written something for Lent, but then I found this, and... really... what's the point? All the bases are covered.

Plus, the Emperor's New Groove gifs are the icing on my Lenten cake.

Unless I give up cake.

I should totally give up cake, 'cause cake is for special occasions.That makes it special. Giving up something special instead of something so ordinary you have it every single morning... let's say... something like that boring ol' cuppa joe (Oh, look! I'm holding one now.) with juuuust the right amount of stevia and one little glug of... no, two little glugs of milk, and served at juuust the right temperature - not too hot to drink, but definitely not even close to luke-warm - you know, nothing special at all, just my everyday coffee... giving up something that's actually special will send me further along the path to greater holiness this Lent.

Yes. I'm giving up cake. I've made my decision. I'm now ready for Lent.
