Giving it up for Lent

So I have this friend...we'll call her Zena.
Zena is in the same boat as me, attending (or being in) weddings is our new pastime; we typically work the circuit together. She's a great gal (and friend) with a lot going for her: good job, her own place, in a relationship...

Zena's always ready - always the first one ready to go, her monogramed bakeware is ready to be cooked in, her ring file ready to be shopped from. That's right Zena has a ring file, but it is how she lives...she's just "ready". However, her readiness is not met.

Her preparedness trickles into all things weddings and quickly progresses to babies and so follows her conversations. Most conversations hit the following topics: wedding, wedding shower, babysitting, babies, where's my wedding?

Zena is different though...she realized her "readiness" was taking over her life. So for Lent, my dear Zena gave up wedding speak - she vows to no longer speak of weddings regarding how they could/do relate to her. Similar to a 12 Step program, my gal is kicking the habitual female habit to long for what surrounds you.

Let's hope she does better than Lindsey Lohan.
