In honor of Fat Tuesday / lent...

I'm not catholic. But I do see the significance of Fat Tuesday and Lent - sin now, have a spiritual enema later.

In honor of this (since it's easter this sunday... I think... ), I decided to stay in San Diego and spend Saturday observing as many of the 7 sins, and then being morally and spiritually upstanding (is that even a grammatically correct phrase?) on Sunday. Note: I'm not following the 7 virtues b/c I don't feel like looking them up right now.

How did I do? Sat:

Sloth: check. played video games from 9 am till 5 pm. Not intentional - meant to move onto something more exciting like "lust" at 12 pm.
Wrath: check. Got pissed at myself when I realized that my time slot for "lust" was missed
Envy: check. Looked at REI catalogue models and were envious of the gear they were wearing.
Avarice: check. Wandered around the Mac store desiring all the pretty shiny computers at 6.
Gluttony: check. Was stuffed from lunch time risotto, but forced myself to wolf down a double western bacon cheeseburger, fries and drink on the way home.
Pride: check. I blog. How vain is it to write about your day and expect people to find it interesting?
Lust: still got 45 minutes to fulfill. Stupid me for missing my appointment. :(

So what am I going to do on Sun? Short ticklist:

Clean the house
cut my hair
clean the car
buy groceries
meditate (<-- that's the kicker to make sure I'm balancing things out)
Or
Just go to LA and see my sister (it's happy happy easter as she puts it...)

I don't know how seeing family is spiritually balancing... but I'm going to assume it is.
