Urban Poly Princess

I had a great albeit laaazy weekend!!! It was actually very nice. I FINALLY saw Snow White which I enjoyed BUT isn't really that great of a movie. It was good to see it as a matinee so it only cost me $6. I saw my Mexican angel family at Walmart Saturday, they were so sweet. They want to BBQ with me on Friday. They were so grateful for the money I gave them. I guess Heavenly Father knew exactly what they needed. I'm so grateful they found me and helped me not blow up my third engine. I talked to Carol in the ward who speaks Spanish to see if she would come with me. She agreed to this and I'm going to involve her so we can fellowship them as much as we can. During Sunday School yesterday I was sitting at the back near one of the doors. This guy who I don't know was sitting right near the door by me. Another man in my ward uses some sort of crutches all the time. It's a permanent condition. He entered and was looking for a seat while I waited a second for the idiot man to get the hell up but he just sat there. I got up and the man with the crutches/walking aparatus thanked me. That is such a small thing to do. It was obviously difficult for him to navigate himself BUT the guy sitting by me just sat there. Another glorious glaring reminder to me of how grateful I am for my Poly upbringing. That situation's not even a question. I should expect this type of clueless behavior by now. It still apalls me. This is just the latest example. I don't get how insensitive and uncaring people can be-I hate thinking it's a white thing all the time BUT I know there is nooo Poly that would ever just sit there or do any of the million other things that bug the hell out of me. Helene told me when she was driving the bus one day this elderly man got on the bus. There was no place for him to sit and teenagers sat in the seats near to the door. She had to tell them they needed to move several times. When they just sat there she told them they could either move or get off her bus. Common decency-why haven't people been taught that? What type of homes are people raised in? My family is far from perfect but I WAS TAUGHT HOW TO TREAT OTHER PEOPLE. FHE tonight is with one of the members of our stake presidency. President Peck is who I renewed my temple recommend with. David's parents are visiting him tonight so he won't be there. I talked to him for a little bit. I'm not angry with him like before and I'm happy I made an effort. I saw him again at our ward fireside later but the memory of being treated like a dog is still there and I don't intend to EVER put myself in that position AGAIN. I KNOW I need to be his friend so I am trying!!! Finding that happy balance however is not easy.
