Sugarless deLite's Daily Report

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Chocolate Banana, Orange Vanilla and Very Berry. Today is Cone Day! All cones are $1.85 all day (regularly $2.72). Apparently, I was looking at the wrong calendar yesterday when I posted cone day. Today started off with a three hour doctor’s visit. What a way to start the day. Of course any reader of this blog would know of my dislike of the doctor; however, after several days of soreness in the back and a troubled night sleeping, I figured it would be a good idea to get it checked out since I am going to have a busy weekend. Thankfully, two hours of waiting to see the doctor and one hour of additional waiting with a little bit of X-Rays ended with the doctor telling me that it was just a minor sprain and sending me on my way with a script for stronger than aspirin pain relief. We’re coming down to the wire on the wedding. Tonight, I am getting my haircut and putting some finishing touches on the apartment and tomorr...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Chocolate Banana, Orange Vanilla and Very Berry. Today is Cone Day! All cones are $1.85 all day (regularly $2.72). We have received the Almond Fudge Chocolite back in stock today. It has been 4 long months, but the company is running production of them again a long with their full line. Today, we had our final premarital counseling session. The name really doesn't do this justice. I wonder if a lot of people are turned off on the idea of counseling because the implication is that they are going to try and fix or tell you what is wrong. Our experience was quite to the contrary. I believe that we both found our time to be up-lifting and supporting. I think that it is all setting in now how close we really are to making this a reality. In just over four days, we will be married. This is a very exciting thought. While the wedding day will be joyful and the honeymoon will be a lot of fun, we are most excited about bein...

Come into the store and pick out your items, then let us ship for you. It is amazing how one little thing can ruin an otherwise perfect day. Yesterday, some one decided to not pay attention while they were driving and run a red light into my car. Here's the good news: It appears that no one was seriously hurt and my car seems to have minor damage. The bad news is that I know that, even though this is an open and shut case on who was at fault (thankfully, I have a witness), this will be a bit of a hassle. With 5 days to go until the wedding, I would rather not have to deal with this. On the other hand, at least I was able to react quickly enough to the oncoming blur of a car to hit my brakes, turn my car away and lay on the horn. (Thank you 20 plus years of video games for the training.) W...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Toffee Nut, Orange Vanilla and Very Berry. Today, you can get a free small yogurt by telling us the secret word: Sudoku Last night as I was waiting for my oil change, tire rotation and alignment, I read through a couple of days worth of business pages and Friday's Quick (The Dallas Morning News mini paper). At the back of the Quick, they have the mind games. Since the options were Boggle, the crossword or the Sudoku puzzle, I went with my strength and ran away from the spelling. It was the first time that I have been able to sit down and focus on a Sudoku puzzle. I was felling quite proud of myself as I neared the completion of the puzzle. The feeling of pride lasted for about 2 and 1/2 seconds. I soon noticed that I had repeating eights twice. It was at that time that they finished my car so I put it down and went about my business. Mark my word, I will finish the puzzle. Saturday Distraction: What Do Your Hands ...

Don't forget to check the blog tomorrow for your password to a free small yogurt. After a few slightly warmer days than we are used to for this time of year, it looks like we are going to cool down just a little bit and maybe get some rain this weekend. I just glad to see that the evenings will once again be dipping into the mid-40's. Friday Fun Fact: Part of the massive computer database that was the heart of the Terrorist Information Awareness Program, scrapped in 2003, could identify people based on the way they walk. The University of Georgia got about a million dollars from the Pentagon to develop a radar system that can read people's gait. Apparently, our walk is distinctive enough that the system can identify an individual more than 85 percent of the time. (This story brou...

Perfect for Weight Watchers®! Over the past few weeks, we have seen an increase in the popularity of the Perfect 10 bagel. While it is two points instead of one like the other items, it has a whopping 18 grams of protein and 9 grams of fiber per bagel and a wonderful seed and nut taste. My apartment is a disaster zone! It is one of those inevitable events when doing a deep clean. It always seems worst right before the calm because, to do it right, you have to tear things down to build it like new. The good news is that the bedroom closet is almost done and the living room is coming along. In the next night or two, I shall tackle the bed...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Toffee Nut, Egg Nog and Very Berry. Today is Cone Day, because we love our customers. Come in and get a cone for $1.85 all day long. We received a shipment of the Fiordifrutta organic jams and spreads in today. We are now restocked on the Apricot, Blackberry, Black Current and the Seville orange. These are some of the best tasting jams and spreads that you will ever have and are perfect for diabetics and Weight Watcher's®. So, I've got 10 days left of the single life. The fun part about it is that I am now in the mists of cleaning out the apartment and rearranging to transform the place from my apartment to our new home. The best part about this process is that I am coming across things that have been boxed up for a long time. Last night I found my tax information from the 2005 year. I have been looking for this for over a week now and it was in a folder that I had checked at least two other times. I am ve...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Toffee Nut, Egg Nog and Pumpkin. Today, all students at JJ Pearce and Trinity Christian Academy can receive a free small yogurt by showing their student ID. Yesterday, my fiancé gave me my wedding present. We exchanged our presents early because as the day approaches, time seems to fly by at a quicker pace. She got me a perfect present. As some of you may know from reading this blog, I am a bit of a sports fan. I like to think that I don't over do it, but I do enjoy sports. I love baseball. Knowing this and understanding even if she does not understand, she got me a framed and matted Don Mattingly authenticated baseball jersey. It is a thing of beauty! Most of all it is wonderful because of the thought that went in to the gift. Quiz Day: Are You Destined for World Domination ? You Are Destined to Rule the World You have the makings of a very evil dictator... Which is both kind of cool and kind of scary! Will y...

Come into the store and pick out your items, then let us ship for you. Sometimes you don't notice things because you are not in the right spot at the right time. Other times, it is because you are just not in the right frame of mind. Last night, as I was getting ready to stubble to bed, I was finishing my laundry and noticed that my washing machine sounds exactly like the TARDIS from Dr. Who when it is on its final spin cycle. Perhaps it was because I was tired or perhaps it was because I was just in the right position to hear it. Nevertheless, it had that distinctive sound of the TARDIS as it prepares for flight. Now if I can only locate a Time Lord.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Caramel, Cappuccino, Angel Food Cake and Pumpkin. Today's special is Buy One, Get One Free for the frozen yogurts. (Limit one, excludes XL) Sunday's special is Coke Float Day! All coke floats are $2.99 all day. Yesterday, my girlfriend and I ate at RJ Mexican Cuisine restaurant in the West End. This has to be one of my favorite places to eat in all of Dallas. If you don't like Mexican food, don't worry. The food they serve is a high end affair with many more options than your standard staples of Mexican restaurants. Last night I had the steak with a raspberry puree sauce and 8 gulf coast shrimp covered in a guacamole spice sauce with cooked vegetables. She got the salmon with crab meat and grilled vegetables. Excellent as always, this is a great place for dinner. (If you own a Dallas Passbook, this place is a must visit as they have a buy one, get one of equal or lesser value free option for the card.) Your Satur...

Today we have all of the items on the sale rack on sale for 50% off of their lowest marked price. Get some great deals by coming in and shopping the sale rack today! It seems like it got a little chilly last night. My apartment managed to drop down to 47 degrees. It is a bit harder to get out of bed and get ready when it is on the colder side, but the electric bill, or lack there of, is a site to behold. I'm predicting a bill under 13 dollars for the actual charge this month. It is a good thing since I have other things to save for right now. Friday in the News: In 2005, Playgirl magazine conducted a survey among 2,000 of its readers and came to the conclusion that women actually like their men scruffy, a wee bit chubby, and definitely not metrosexual. According to the survey, 42% said they thought love handles were kind of sexy and 47% approved of chest hair. Only 4% of wome...

(Come in early to make sure you get the variety that you want!) I trust that everyone had a wonderful Valentine's Day yesterday. We were rather busy here at the store. Now it is time to start to brake down. As I was discussing with one of the employees yesterday, the space between Valentine's Day and Easter is the first real break between holidays up here for five months. We'll be able to take care of some things that have been on the back burner for a while. This week's poll gives you a chance to sound off on the holiday of love... The Day of Saint Valentine Is ? (If you've ever wondered about the weird titles on the polls, the simple answer is that the ...

Come in and get a cone for $1.85 all day long. Today is a busy day for us today with the last minute shoppers.

Giving the schedule here at work and my girlfriend's schedule with school, we chose to celebrate Valentine's Day on Monday and Friday of this week. As I told her on Monday night, it is actually kind of nice because we get to celebrate it twice. I hope that whatever you are doing for Valentine's Day it is wonderful and special. Wednesday Comic:

We also have a new Basil flavored variety of the Carbo-Nada pasta and several new varieties of cake mixes. It's here! The crazy two day stretch of the Valentine's Day holiday. It's funny sometimes to think that we have been preparing for this holiday for the last month and it will all be over in the course of the next few days. The great thing about the store is that we are always busy with one holiday or another from October to June. So after Valentines is finished, we will move right on to Easter. Quiz Day: Would You Choose Love or Money ? You Would Choose Love Money may buy a little happiness, but not the happiness of ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Maple Nut, Marshmallow and Pumpkin. You have three days until Valentine's Day. If you haven't picked up a gift yet, now is a great time. We still have a wonderful selection of our hand packed chocolate hearts. Make sure to come in while you can still get the heart you want for the heart you want to capture. We've had to switch to the new blogger today. I'm not sure what the difference is, but I do know it was a little bit of a hassle to switch. We will see if it is any better. I think for what we do, it doesn't really matter. I just know that the option was switch or no blog.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Maple Nut, New York Cheesecake and Lemon. Today we have our cake bread loaves on sale for $14.99 (Regularly $19.99)-one day only. As I was driving home yesterday after work, I had a thought about birthdays. So for today's Saturday distraction, I ask this question to you the reader: What Was Your Most Significant Birthday ? My answer is 18. It was the year that I went away (more to the point, my parents moved away and I went to UTD) to college. It was the birthday of freedom and the first time that I felt like I was actually grown up. Have a great weekend.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Maple Nut, New York Cheesecake and Lemon. Today is buy one, get one free from 6 PM to 8 PM for the frozen yogurt (limit one, excludes XL). Some morning I wake up knowing what I am going to blog about. Today was one of those days; however, somewhere between my bed and the office, I have managed to forget. The only thing that remains is the title and the thought that I must have had a dream about poker. Friday In the News: In 2003, Pope John Paul beatified Marco d'Aviano, an Italian friar, more than 300 years after his death. Among the saintly deeds he is credited with is the invention of the cappuccino. With the vast Ottoman Turk army advancing on Vienna in 1683, Marco d'Aviano was sent to the pope to join the outnumbered Christian troops and inspire them to victory. It worked, and when the Turks retreated, they left behind bags of bitter coffee. D'Aviano sweetened the brew with honey and milk, an...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Butter Pecan, New York Cheesecake and Lemon. Today is Cone Day! All day long our cones are $1.85. Last night as I ran to Sam's for the store, I ran into an interesting problem: They were closed. At 8:30 in the evening, this is something that you don't run into very often these days. I'm actually glad that places close and I think that I'm just nostalgic enough to believe that the days when things closed at 5 and were shut down on Sundays were the good old days. However, I also am spoiled with the fact that so many things are open so late. I noticed that the Wackiness has been missing from the Wednesday blogs this year. We've had a busy start to the year here at Sugarless deLite. So here is a little twist for your enjoyment. If you look closely at the lable, you can see that this is the beer that the gentleman is drinking.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Butter Pecan, Blueberry Cheesecake and Lemon. Today, all UT Dallas students get a free small yogurt with their student ID. This morning, we got our marriage license. We now have 30 days to get hitched in the state of Texas. Of course, we only have 25 days until our wedding so this will work out well. The process was actually fairly easy and painless which is saying something since the government was involved in it. Just remember that you need exact change...cash only. (Thankfully, I had done my homework.) Quiz Day: Do You Get Enough Sleep ? You Get Enough Sleep Although sometimes it make not feel like it on Monday morning... You are getting enough sleep. Want to sleep better? Try wearing socks to bed and turning your clock to where you can't see it.

Come into the store and let us ship our products for you to any of the lower 48 states for only $6.99 as long as it fits in a 16x16x16 box. With Valentines coming up, this is a great time to take advantage of this offer. The Groundhog's Day party provided a wonderful time this weekend and had, I believe, the best cake out of the 11 years. If I can get a photo of it, I will post it for some of you who are wondering what a groundhog cake looks like. Kudos to Jeff and the Austin crew for continuing the tradition. It was great seeing some old friends and we got to have an excellent breakfast at Threadgills in the morning. :)-Thanks Dani. On the way home, as is becoming our tradition, Erica and I stopped at an Outlet Mall in Round Rock where we had a most successful shopping experience as the bridesmaids now all have shoes to match their ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Caramel Fudge, Butter Pecan, Blueberry Cheesecake and Lemon. Today is buy one, get one free on the frozen yogurt from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one, excludes XL). Yesterday, Phil came out and didn't see his shadow so we should be in for an early spring. I'll believe that when I see it. Nevertheless, this odd annual tradition of turning to an over-sized rat to tell us what the seasons will do has provided us with one of the great comedies of all time which was appropriately named Groundhog's Day. This Bill Murray classic has for the last 10 years provided my friends and me a reason to gather and enjoy each others company in college and beyond. This year, the event has moved to Austin which is the one of the founder's, and former proud employee of Sugarless deLite, new abode. So, tonight I shall trek down to Austin with the future Mrs. to take part in the 11th Annual Groundhog's Day Party. It was touch and go with no...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Carmel Fudge, Peanut Butter, Blueberry Cheesecake and Lemon. Today, we have all of the items on the Sale Rack 50% off the lowest marked price. Yesterday was the perfect type of snow day. Big flakes that melt right away. It looks pretty coming down, but does not stick around to cause any major problems (at least for Dallas it didn't). It sure does bet the ice that we normally get when this type of weather moves through. Once again, the weather prognosticators failed to predict this. I'm not sure why they even try in Texas. Friday In the News: At the University of Georgia, there is a course called Coaching Principles and Strategies of Basketball-a course taken, not surprisingly, by the school's basketball stars. Here are a couple of the questions that were asked on the final exam: Q. How many points does a 3 point shot score if it goes in the basket? A. Three Points Q. How many halves are in a game of basketball? A. Tw...

A new month means a new calendar of specials. Today's special is Shake Day! All shakes are 3.69 all day long (regularly $3.93 to $4.62). February Calendar: (click to enlarge) I threw in the towel yesterday. I went to the doctor for the first time in just under three years to take care of the nagging sinus condition that I have been dealing with for the past four days. Considering that this was my first visit to the doctor that was not because of a car wreck (not my fault) or a physical, I have to say that I am pretty proud of that streak. If the medicine works, it will have all been worthwhile. In continuation of...
