Made holiday cookies

So yesterday one of my coworkers hosted a baking party at her house and we made a crazy amount of cookies. All different types as well. I'm not sure if it's the actual holiday season or the fact that I spent some time with this girl, but I've got no hard feeling anymore.

We had a few indirect fights in the past and the more I think about it, the more I feel like it's been a waste of time and energy really. I didn't like her because another girl I was kind of friends with had some bad times with her, and then because a good friend had quite a few horrible times because of her. Not really because of her, but more because of people who didn't know how to mind their own business and decided they wanted to give my friend a hard time. It's all so dumb to me. So childish really. Everything was so unnecessary as well.

All because of a guy really. I don't know why I decided to join in all this either. It's not like my friend asked me to be a complete bitch to this girl whenever I could. In all honesty I think it's the whole "My friend hates you, I should hate you too" thing, but it's such a waste. I'm not going to live my life thinking "I should do this because it would really piss this person off" or "I'm going to do this because then this person might like me more" If I do something it'll be because I want to, regardless of the people around.

It was crazy to see a little bit of how she lives her life too. I think she's got it pretty good and I'm actually a little envious of it. It's a simple "country style" life. Not a complete farm, but just a small comfy home in the middle of an orchard farm with no one really close by,  with chickens for their own eggs and a compost bucket. All of this may seem so silly, but a little while back I became so interested in this. It's the type of home I'd like to have in my future. 

All in all it was a day well spent.
