Red is the nickname some of my favorite people have called me : ).
Red is the flavor of jello that they offered to my mom and me in a restaurant a hundred years ago. ...Seriously. They asked if I would like jello to go with my meal, and when I asked her what flavor it was, she answered, "red." Mom and I laughed about that for a long time.
Red is my personality, according to the color test. I've got some blue in me too--maybe I'm 50/50 red/blue. I like to think I have only the positive red qualities, since sometimes "reds" can be thought of as harsh and overbearing...but my red, nonetheless helps me get things done : ).
-strawberries & cherries (and any candies with those flavors),
-Cherry-dipped cones at Dairy Queen,
-apples,
-bell peppers,
-tomatoes
Red foods that are not my favorite (but I can eat almost anything) are: raspberries, licorice, popsicles, red meat that is too rare, red velvet cake (not a big cake fan, unless the frosting is just right!), pomegranates (too many seeds, not worth the effort to eat one).
Red things that I treasure are: Christmas stockings, all red things Christmas, red fireballs--which are racquetballs that fly really fast, little red dresses that I feel pretty in when I wear them (and anyone that tries to convince me that redheads shouldn't wear red is speaking to deaf ears), red toenails and fingernails (and I only wish I were brave enough to wear red lipstick to match!), red roses--especially on my wedding anniversary, red hearts on Valentine's Day--and every day (I haven't outgrown that little girl fettish of drawing hearts on everything).
Other reds worth mentioning:
Redbox--a very cool movie invention!
Seeing red--something I do far too often.
blood--something I love to donate whenever I can
wine--something I have no desire to taste ; )
ink and paper and ribbon--things I love to create with!
rubies--I would love to own or wear some. : )
-it's my favorite color for the sun and moon.
What do you love that is red?
