1.) It is a rule to have some type of Mexican food at least once daily. I've never eaten as much chips, salsa, cheese dip, tortillas, etc in all of my life! Now I've always like Mexican food, but it was usually a once a week thing or less when we lived in other areas of the country. So I'm still getting used to eating this type of food more often, which can be on a daily basis.
2.) In the city, using your turn signal to change lanes is really a cue for other drivers around you saying "Speed up! Don't let her in!" This is very true, especially on my drive to Dallas every morning. When I try to be the polite driver by using my turn signal to change lanes, no one will let me in. Everyone driving around me just cuts in front of me in traffic. To date, I've been thankful to be involved in zero accidents & have zero speeding tickets on my record. So who really is the safe driver? :)
3.) You MUST keep your entire wardrobe out all year, which requires a very large closet. Being the seasonal girl that I am, I packed up all of my summer stuff & got out all of my winter sweaters, etc like I usually did in Ohio (but at a later date this year). Well, it turns out that I haven't even worn some sweaters yet because it just hasn't been cold enough. I even went Christmas shopping in flipflops with no coat! This Texas climate is a new experience to me. I also just got back from walking Pepper at the park due to the warm weather. So when I used to make fun of people from the south for wearing mittens & gloves when it was 50 degrees outside, now I see why they did. Otherwise these winter items just wouldn't get worn!
4.) I am living back in "soda" NOT "pop" territory. Being from Ohio, all carbonated beverages are known as pop. This change hit me my first week at work while I was teaching a diabetes class, telling my patients to not drink regular pop....they corrected me & now I do call it soda when teaching classes.
5.) Your schedule revolves around Cowboys games. From family get togethers to church functions, the time of getting together fits around the Cowboys. Speaking of this, we are off to a party with some friends from church to watch the playoffs.
I'll post some more insights on what I've learned as I learn more of them. :)

I'll agree with the Mexican food (we eat it almost daily!)...but not with "soda"! I didn't know anyone that called it "soda" when I lived in TX...it was always "Coke"...no matter what kind of "soda" you're talking about...it's "Coke". For example, if you were at my house I'd ask you, "What kind of coke do you want? We have Mt. Dew, Coke, Sprite, etc." People in KS alternate b/w calling it "pop" and "soda".
that is hilarious! I agree with Staci about the soda. I find myself calling it "soft drinks" as in "would you like water or some kind of soft drink?"
Have you learned what happens when the Cowboys lose? Everyone slips into depression until they can turn the channel over to the Mavericks. Let's just hope they pull it off this year and win the big one. Maybe next year for the Cowboys. We've given up on the Rangers and I don't know enough about Hockey to even talk about the Stars.
We are glad you are here now!
