This Friday Favorites Brought to You by the Color Red

I mentioned yesterday that I got a new car, and, that it is red. I did not set out to get a red car, but, I required the second row of seats to be a bench-style (to corral Boomer in the cargo area), and, the only new Tahoes that we could find in the state that met that requirement were all red, so, red it was.

Have you ever noticed that, once you get a car of a certain color, you start to notice that every other car on the road is that same color? Yeah...that actually hasn't happened yet. Color me surprised. What has happened, however, is that I have started to notice all the other things in my life that are red, and, when I started to keep track of them, it became apparent that, despite my indifference to owning a red car, I actually kind of like things that are red.

Who knew?

So, there's Lola, of course...

...and, my new thermal coffee tumbler (Pioneer Woman collection at the Hellmouth, in case you, too, like pretty things that keep your coffee hot)...

...and the new pillow that I recently purchased for the porch...

...and the noodle bowls that I painted at the ceramics studio during our Fun Club activity at Day Job...

...and, one of my favorite nail polishes by OPI...

Clearly, I am a lover of all things red; the only real question is: why did it take me so long to get a red car?
