Example 1: the grocery store
Oh you know I love myself some grocery shopping! I may have met my match... in Dallas it is known as The Central Market. It is massive (equal to a NY city block?) - it has everything - and if you forget something you have to start back at the front door and hop back into the racetrack at GO. I have decided it is for the more "experienced" shopper and now frequent the local Tom Thumb (still a force to be reckoned with!)
Example 2: boozy lunches
Oh you know I love myself some margaritas! Apparently, so does everyone in the state of Texas. I met an old and now new again friend for lunch (hello K.E.S - so happy to have re-made your acquaintance!) and I thought it was very endearing when she asked if I was drinking. I then took the pulse of the room and found that everyone was drinking... on a Thursday - at noon - margaritas everywhere - like a dodgy NYC happy hour (and I know what I am talking about here!) My sister and I went to lunch the following day at another spot and remarked at the sheer amount of booze flowing (one table had margaritas AND a bottle of wine to boot!) Dallas... I love you for this... but you may just kill me.
Example 3: power walking
Oh you know how I love myself some... wait, no, I actually don't love this one. Okay fellow neighbors - what gives? When did power walking become de rigueur? I look out my windows pretty much any time of day and feel like there is a flash mob - but then I realize there isn't any irony and you all are out for sheer exercise in numbers. I applaud you - yet do not understand you... yet.
Give me time and I have no doubt I will be power walking through The Central Market sipping a margarita.
