Love everyone!

This is one of THOSE posts:

Some people never change.  Some situations never change.  Some people just never grow up and hurting other people just never gets old.  

I'm not angry....just hurt and very sad.  It hurts me that people like to think of themselves as someone's friends and then talk badly about someone behind his or her back.  They make fun of the trials that one has gone through, and because they don't understand it, they think it's that person's fault that things have happened the way they have.

I know I'm being awfully cryptic again, but I refuse to intentionally hurt people's feelings and wish others would do the same.  

Before you judge a person, get to know him.  See what he's like or how he's changed.  Just because he's changed does not make him crazy or weird, and just because he doesn't talk doesn't make him stuck up.  If you get to know him and don't like him, don't hurt him on account of your preference.  Be honest and fair.  I'm not perfect, but I'm trying to love like the Savior.  I'm working my hardest and doing my best, and it's frustrating when former role models, friends, and acquaintances cannot do the same and hurt others in the process.

Please get to know someone before you write him off.  After you've written him off, please be prepared to take him back at any time.  Please love everyone.

Baking Again.

Call me crazy, but I've been baking again.  I think I'm really beginning to like it!  I still have to be in the mood to do it, though...not like cooking.  There's never a mood for cooking :/

Tonight it was a strawberry cake with icing that I made from scratch!  It wasn't hard at all, but still a lot better than what I was doing about a month ago.  It's actually become sort of fun sometimes!  Kyle says that I'm trying to make him fat and that he can't afford new pants, but I don't mind.  I made the cake just for him (and for us to have something nice after Fast Sunday tomorrow).  

Tomorrow we plan on attending church in Muncie and going to work on the house afterwards with my mom.  We don't typically work on the house on Sunday, but it's coming down to crunch time, and we really need to get working on it.  There's still so much to do...cabinets and flooring to put in the kitchen, rooms to paint, carpet to rip up, hardwood floors to refinish, plumbing to replace...the list goes on and on.  Our goal is to have it liveable by the end of this month so I can get a start on moving all my stuff there and looking for a Muncie job.  This suits me just fine because I miss Muncie so much!

My holiday was pretty much boring and I plan on celebrating the Fourth at Kyle's house next Saturday with a barbecue!  Yay!  Today I just worked (time-and-a-half pay!), showered and did some me time--painting of the nails, shaving, things like that that no woman has time to do throughout the week--and now baking.  It was a pretty good day, I think...
