Thoughts and notes of the week

Thoughts and notes while walking and biking;

-That dayglo orange lace dress? Never a good idea. Even though you are quite pretty, who told you it looked good on you? A friend? Never shop with that friend again.
-Suicide is selfish. There I said it. I might open myself up to criticism regarding a judgement of lack of respect for the family of those who chose to end their life.  I have experienced a myriad of emotions regarding the news that one of my former co-workers chose to end her life in a most horrible manner. At the end of the day, I wondered what could have been so awful that would make her think it was the only way out? Well-we will never know. No note, no phone call. Nothing.
-Sometimes, people make the most horrible noises while in the workplace. Today, I would swear I just heard someone snoring, big loud bear-like snores! From snorts, sniffles, burps and coughs, it's a wonder I get anything done at all. Since when did disgusting personal habits become acceptable in the workplace?
-Telling people that you love life makes them smile. AND they want to know why you love life. It's like you have a secret potion that everybody wants a sip of.  It makes me think about breaking into song from the Charles Dickens "A Christmas Carol" musical version, I like life, life likes me.
-Athletic venue tickets are outrageously priced. I just received a tweet about tickets available for the KU/KSU game, on the grassy lawn-SRO, for $75ea. I think I will watch it on TV, drink my own drinks and eat my own eats. Maybe I'll have a few people over to watch it with me.
-I think helping prepare a meal, especially in a community environment, is a wonderful way to share life. I got to help with food prep for our upcoming church Oktoberfest last night. I've got a blister on my finger and a quote in the paper to show for my efforts! Not bad, not bad at all.
-Family Weekend at the university my daughter attends is this coming weekend and we are going to seeher! I'm so excited just thinking about it! Even my husband shared his own feelings of anticipation as we go through this year of 'firsts'.
-What's next after the 50 Shades of Grey reading frenzy? Why-Passion Parties of course. Where you can shop for things in the privacy of your home with a tasteful presentation and giggles galore as we imagine our own adventures.
