Happy Hump Day Everyone

From yesterday…..

#1 - REGULAR BLACK COFFEE - I can’t start my day without it, so I’m always grateful for it

#2 - TAP WATER / OUR LAKE MICHIGAN WATER- I don’t need any fancy water. If I don’t drink my normal amount of water I get a horrible headache, which reminds me how grateful I am for water.

#3 - COW’S MILK - I’m a regular milk drinker - I love it. 1% is the one I normally buy and I’m grateful for it when it’s in my cereal and when I make my protein shake with it after I workout.

Adding on with today’s topic, which is easy, since red is my most favorite color.

#1 - MY RED ROBES - I have a winter one and a summer one. Both are old and really comfortable. My DH said on Sunday he should buy me a new summer one for Mother’s Day and I told him - please don’t, I’ll just return it, because I love the one I have.

#2 - MY RED PANTS & RED CAPRIS - They aren’t very easy to find, so when I find ones that fit well, I buy 2 of each. I wear them regularly, but not to regularly because red fades fast when washed to often.

#3 - MY RED LIGHT WEIGHT MICKEY MOUSE WDW JACKET - I get so many compliments on this jacket, which is easily 25 years old or older now. I’m looking forward to hopefully wearing it again soon once the temperature around here gets warmer.

I have a favorite red sweater with silver 'beads' and red sequins around the neck/bodice. I wear it for Christmas, Valentine's Day, and "fancy" events.

Blood - i’m grateful for blood try losing some and you’ll find out how grateful you are to have it been there done that don’t wanna have that happen again
Quite surprised to find out you can’t lose a whole lot of that before you end up having a whole lot of life serious problems

Red is my favorite color I’m grateful for every red car I’ve ever had and I’ve had a bunch

An nice bloody I like my steaks rare
Literally flick a lighter underneath them for a couple seconds and put them on a plate

Our little red wagon full of little kids and pumpkins.

I have a red robe that DH got me that is super thick and warm that love in the winter.

The tractor. Without it life would be so much harder. It was well worth the expense with the amount of work it does and projects it helps DH do with much less effort and more speed.

Another vote for blood! So glad to be alive!

Red Glycerins - I did a trio of Alice in Wonderland themed costumes when I ran at WDW in early 2020. My half marathon costume was "painting the roses red." I am a Glycerin girl and the model is not known for the flashiest colors. Still, I've learned over the years that Brooks often puts out special limited edition colors throughout the model year. Just when I thought I was going to have to settle for basic black or white, they released red.

Hair Dye - While I'm technically a brunette (a graying one), I do have a bit of red in my natural undertones. Back in the early days of dyeing my hair, I leaned into that red and found out that it brings out the green in my eyes. Over the years, my eyes changed from milk chocolate brown to hazel. My hazel pulls a lot of green which really pops if my hair is red. My hair is currently a deep auburn and just loving how it makes my eyes look olive green.

Running lights - I have one that's got two red modes, like a bicycle light. I also have my light up vest. It looks like I'm wearing bands of neon lights. It changes colors but it switches to all red if the batteries are going... which is a great safety warning on a safety device. Recently, I noticed some color changing LEDs I lit up for Christmas do the same. Like they cycle to red when they get to end of life before fully dying.
