Vitamins and Superstition

[cjsmith]

OK, let's get the teasing and the "You Should"s out of the way: I eat Flintstones chewable multivitamins. They're the "Complete" kind, the ones that aren't too too awful for adults. Done now? Good, here's my story.

I like the orange ones best. The red ones are distinctly mediocre, and I have never liked purple. (Yes, red and purple are flavors. Eat a berry and a grape, then eat something red or purple. Completely unrelated, I tell you. Red and purple are separate flavors in their own right.)

I've developed a little predictor of my day. I tip over the bottle and get a vitamin. If it's orange, which I like, I say I'll have a good day. If it's purple, which I dislike, I call it a gray day. If it's red, I'll have a Red-Letter Day, which could be good or bad but won't be boring.

There. I feel sure every single reader of this journal desperately needed to know that.

I will be happy to take any unwanted cherry flavored vitamins, popsicles, etc. at any time. I <3 cherry, and often don't like the other flavors.

ooo cool! Next time I have a big wad of cherry Starbursts left over from a variety bag, I'll be asking for your snail mail address. (Alas, popsicles probably wouldn't make it.)

That'd be cool! :-)

Popsicles would probably survive in our current weather - but probably not yours!
