The couple times I've been in Dallas, I was surprised at how undowntown like downtown Dallas was.  I don't remember there being many restaurants or things that attract people to hang out there at night, just banks and such.
I had iced tea flavored with cardamom! And it was delicious! I don't even know what cardamom is! 
Cardamom is a spice, and it is one of the main components in spiced chais, but it does make a lovely tea when it is the only spice as well.  
	
 
		
		
The park/theater complex had the restaurants I recall, and it was maybe sort of off to the side of the city? I went in on a Sunday once for some reason and the place looked like a film set. It was creepy.
	
 
		
		
I'm turning into the person who says "fuck it" and goes to the grocery store still gross and sweaty in my running clothes. I don't know how to feel about this.

I know Megan agrees with me that sweat pants are give up on life pants.
	
 
		
		
I'm not wearing sweatpants, and my running clothes are the opposite of giving up on life!
	
 
		
		
Not a lot of people wear sweat pants anymore, do they? I mean, I have one pair, and I don't even wear them to stretch class. They are strictly reserved for "It's fucking COLD tonight!" nights. 
If it's bad, Pix, then at least you are in good company. I often wear my stretch clothes all day on the weekends, when I'm running errands, and at least half the other people at TJs seem to wearing their exercise gear. 
	
 
		
		
I actually just feel good about the fact that I made it to the store. Plus, I made myself a tomato mozzarella basil salad for dinner, and it was so yummy. 
	
 
		
		
my  father is on  a very low  salt  diet.   - like  2% ish.   1)  cook  at  home.  2)  shop like a  detective -  i know  they  found  some  bread -  but still made  most  of  thier bread  ina machine 3)  mozerella  cheese.   
watch  things like packages of  frozen  chicken breast -- they  are  often frozen  in  some sort  of  salt water.  
soups  just  don't  really  work.   
I  can get  more info  from  my mom  if  you want
	
 
		
		
Pix, it means you should move to Portland.  Totally. Stylish ladies here always look like they are either on their way to or from exercising.
