Dear Lady Who Works At The Farm Where I Volunteer -

You go to church, yay for you. Every time you've asked me what church I go to, I've told you that my family and I don't go to church.

When I say that "I don't go to church", it means "I don't go to church". It does not mean "Please invite me to bible study every single damn time you see me because the 900th time you ask me, I might suddenly decide that I have a desire to subscribe to your specific religion".

And I kind of figured that I'd clear up any confusion you might have had when I told you "we're not really religious" when you bugged me about it for the 901th time. To be completely honest, telling me that "it's really not church-y* at all" just came off as kind of desperate. Do you have a quota or something?

In other news, do you have any idea how expensive thermoses are? The weather dropped below 90 last week so my kid decides that he wants to start taking soup for lunch and he wants a thermos (and, of course, lunchboxes don't come with them anymore), so I head to Target, figuring that I could find a decent, cheap one there. Those freaking things are $20 for a basic one - $20??? Is there some new, magical thermos technology I don't know about that makes them so expensive? Do they have nano-bots in there keeping the soup hot? (I ended up getting him a cute little soup bowl thermos-thing with it's own spoon - it was only $10 and at least it's cute)

* it's a BIBLE STUDY at a CHURCH. What part of that sounds non-church-y? HAPPY HOUR at a BAR = non-church-y. BIBLE STUDY at a CHURCH = church-y.
