12 Reasons Why I QUIT Attending SPORTS Events
1. The coach never came to visit me.
2. Every time I went, they asked me for money.
3. The people sitting in my row didn't seem very friendly.
4. The seats were very hard.
5. The referees made a decision I didn't agree with.
6. I was sitting with hypocrites—they only came to see what others were wearing!
7. Some games went into overtime and I was late getting home.
8. The band played some songs I had never heard before.
9. The games are scheduled on my only day to sleep in and run errands.
10. My parents took me to too many games when I was growing up.
11. Since I read a book on sports, I feel that I know more than the coaches, anyway.
12. I don’t want to take my children because I want them to choose for themselves what sport they like best.

Where can I get cheap Christmas lights? Where can I buy Christmas lights not made in China?

It is like clockwork. These search terms come up in my stats around October from people wanting to buy either cheap lights or expensive lights not made in China. Here are links to what I have written in the past. I might revisit the issue soon if I find new information.
St Nicholas and some native Aztec dancers...Toto, we are not in the Byzantine old country

Hello, my name is Church

Hello my name is Church,
I’m sure you’ve heard a lot about me. I have no shortage of critics. Perhaps you have heard that I am…
Boring
Shallow
Cheap
A waste of time
You’ve heard that I am full of
Hypocrites
Clowns
Greedy people
The self- righteous
Maybe you have visited me before and discovered
Horrible music
Passionless singing
Dry preaching
Rude congregants

Less Lupus, More Life- What's for snacktime?

I can't take a picture of it because it looks so gross. My latest smoothie recipe is not earth-shattering. You can probably find ten versions of it on recipe.com. 


1 cup frozen pineapple chunks
1/2 cup frozen blueberries, raspberries, or strawberries
3 cups fresh spinach
1 cup almond or rice milk (a bit more might be needed)

Blend well and drink in an opaque glass. The color will not be pretty! Added honey or maple syrup is not needed in this one because of the pineapple. Maybe my taste buds are off, but the spinach doesn't ruin the taste; it just seems a bit 'earthy.' Be certain to check your teeth for any tiny bits of greenery!
I had high hopes for the month of October and this blog, but my top priority is my children- right now I am specifically re-learning all my algebra so I can help my oldest do well in class...
