Me? A hedonist? Or: Donuts ARE a sacrifice

Current mood: bored

I suspect I'm a bit of a hedonist. I gave up donuts for Lent, not because I eat so many donuts, but because I rarely deny myself anything. It's actually been a struggle this Lenten season to stick with my sacrifice. That's good; that's the point. The other point is, I rarely deny myself anything.

By the time we left, it was out the door and halfway to the street. It was the first time I had ever seen any of Frida's paintings in person. I've always considered myself more a fan of Frida the person than Frida the artist. Of course, I admired her talent, just not as much as I admired her spirit. The paintings blew me away. The prints just don't do them justice. They are brighter and more detailed that they seem in books. I love the ones from New York especially, where Frida shows how different New York is from Mexico City. They almost look like collages, with symbolic objects in random places. We started our morning at breakfast on the roof of...
