13 Items I Associate With the Color Red
I've wanted to do a color association post for awhile, but I hadn't gotten around to it. Sometimes it was cause I was lazy, or sometimes the other T13 posts seemed more appropriate. Enjoy!
- Apples. Red apples. It's funny, I don't even like apples, but I do associate red with red apples.
- Fire trucks. Okay, that's an obvious one. Every now and then I'll see fire trucks that aren't red, but I still think of red fire trucks.
- My mom. My mom loved the color red. My dad bought her red things all the time. Clothes, jewelry, flowers. All red. Of course she liked other colors, but she loved the color red.
- Roses. Red roses aren't my favorite, but they sure are pretty. And they remind me that I'm loved, so that's a bonus.
- My car. My car is a dark red. Not fire engine red, not maroon, just a dark red. I love my car.
- My Starbucks coffee cup which I think Mary lost. Accidentally. It was my favorite to-go mug. Perfect hand proportion, great handle, easy to use top. I found a similar one at Caribou, so I bought it. I still like Starbucks better, though.
- Poppies. Remember The Wizard of Oz? A huge field of red poppies.
- A fuzzy red sweater. When I was in high school, and maybe earlier, I refused to wear red or pink. I'm not quite sure why I got on that kick, but I didn't own any red or pink items. My senior year, I found this gorgeous red fuzzy sweater. I loved it so much I wore it when I got my senior pictures. I loved that sweater.
- The red couch. Mary was kind enough to leave her red couch with me when she moved back. It's a perfect couch. It has enough room to sit, lay down, sleep. It's comfortable. Our vacation house has a super comfy red couch, too. It's actually a little wider than Mary's couch. So much so that my legs don't touch the floor if I'm sitting up straight.
- My red bedspread. I have this super comfy red comforter. It's thick, ribbed, has two lines of piping, and has a slight sheen to it so it looks shiny. At least I think so. It's a great investment.
- Crayons. I think that's an obvious one, eh? All crayon boxes come with a red crayon. Some of them come with 5 or more red crayons.
- My red shoes. I actually have 2 pairs of red shoes. One pair is bright red patent leather; the other is a muted red, a respectable red. I love them both, although the patent leather ones aren't as nice to my feet as the other ones. Every time I go shoe shopping, red shoes always catch my eye, and I have to talk myself out of buying them since I already have 2 pairs.
- Red wine. While I'll try any wine, and prefer drier wine, red wines are my favorite.
Based on this post I think I might like red as much as my mom does. And that's not a bad thing. :-)
