On Saturday, my wife and I got to go to a friend's birthday party. I actually like going to birthday events now because they mainly involve hanging out and talking. It was the first group thing that we've really done since we've been married. After several months of hanging out together, it was nice to move back into our group of friends. Besides, the cake was mighty tasty. The month of May is going to seem like a whirlwind after the calm of April. This was the first of several...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Coffee Royal, Blueberry Cheesecake and Banana. Today, we have our yogurt special from 6 PM to 8 PM. The yogurt is buy one, get one free (excludes XL, limit one). Last night my wife and I brought out the old Super Nintendo and played Super Mario Brothers for about an hour. It seems that we both came in with the idea that this would be an easy game to just run through; however, when you don't play a game for 5 to 7 years, it is not as easy as you remember it. It seems that there is a bit of a learning curve to the game after all. Nevertheless, we stumbled through the first few levels and got into a little bit of a grove. It was kind of fun to go back in time. It's hard to believe that this game is 17 years old. Back in the day, I remember it had top-notch graphics. It no longer does, but the game design still makes it fresh today. Saturday Distraction: What Is Your Star Wars Name and Title ? Your Star Wars N...

Come in today and get some great savings. This includes some retro Sugarless deLite T-shirts for 4.99. The game was a lot of fun last night. For any one who likes sporting events, I highly recommend checking out a FC Dallas game this year. The crowd was loud and colorful. While we were unable to come away with a win, it was a perfect night to take in a game. The only major downside was sitting in the parking lot for 20 minutes afterwards waiting to get out. So, I sat in my car and listened to NPR and Mavs talk. However, the drive home was short and sweet. Friday in the News: To honor George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, and Donald Rumsfeld, in 2004 two entomologists named three species of slime mold beetles after them. The decision to name the beetles after Bush, Cheney, and Rumsfeld didn't hav...

Despite our best efforts to stay in our current apartment community, we came to the conclusion last night that it would be best to move out after our current lease ends in July. This weekend, we will start the hunt for a new place to live. Hopefully, this will be the last one before we buy a home next year. Thankfully, we know that there are many options out there. We have given ourselves a couple of w...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Brickle, Coffee Royal, Blueberry Cheesecake and Banana. Today is Shake Day! All shakes are $3.69 (regularly $3.93-$4.62) all day long! It is pretty rare that I get up and out of the door by 8 AM. Nevertheless, I had to take my car into the shop this morning since it was having trouble starting. After dropping the car off at Gus' Auto Center in Richardson (best auto mechanic in the North Dallas area), I went out to breakfast with my wife. We normally don't eat out very often. We are even less likely to eat out for breakfast since is it so cheap and easy to cook it at home. But, we do venture out every once in a while. We both love Nikki's Diner which is a great option since it is right next to the store. I'm not sure where else you can go and get a three egg bacon and cheese omelet with two buttermilk pancakes for $4.98. It is a big meal for the start of the day and a great one at that. The best part is tha...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Brickle, Pecan Praline, Blueberry Cheesecake and Banana. Today is Teacher Day! All teachers can receive a small today for only 99 cents by showing their teacher ID. One of the funny things about writing a daily blog entry is coming up with the next entry. Admittedly, I occasionally cheat by doing short or non-existent entries with more content than substance; however, I try to write a little something each day. Sometimes the entries are planned and sometimes the planned entries go out the window when I sit down type. Such is the case today. I cannot even remember what I had planned on writing because as sat down, it was replaced with a conversation that my wife and I had last evening. Wife: Are there any good yogurt flavors in today? Me: Not really, we've got Butter Brickle on a trial run after a three year hiatus and Pecan Praline... Wife: Pecan Praline? That's one of my favorites! What else do you all have in? ...

We had our wedding party last evening at the Candlelite Inn in Arlington. I would like to thank everyone who came down to join us. We both felt that it went really well. I hope that everyone had a good time socializing. I felt like I didn't get to actually sit down and talk with anyone, but that just goes along with the territory. It was nice getting to have all of our friends and our family gathered together. In continuation of the Monday series, Common Misconceptions about Workouts and Common Sense Responses to Them: Advice: It's OK to workout when you're injured.

The Mrs. and I are having a wedding celebration party tomorrow for our friends and family. Because we had a very small wedding, we wanted to do something to include everyone else. So tomorrow we will get to have quite the gathering of people descend upon Arlington. I think it should be a fun time for all. Of course, this means that we have family in town for the weekend. We went to Arlington last night to have dinner with the New York side of the family. This evening, we are going to have dessert with my Aunt who is in from Atlanta. It is another busy weekend for us.

Friday in the News: In 2005, a business conglomerate was forced to take inventory of some self-damaging practices it was unwittingly engaged in. Wal-Mart was selling on its website a book called How Wal-Mart Is Destroying America and the World: And What You Can Do About It. Although you could buy the book for more than $3 dollars off retail, Wal-Mart quickly pulled the book from its offerings. (This story brought to you by the WWDTM daily calendar.)

Of course, we will have our cookie tins and chocolates ready to go for you. Also, it is never to early to put in a bakery order for a special cake for mom. I know that most of our readers are not sports fans; however, I always like to champion things that I believe in and good experiences ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Cappuccino, German Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Malt and Caramel. Tonight, we have our buy one, get one free special (limit one, excludes XL) for our frozen yogurts. One day in the next year or two, the Mrs. and I are going to buy a house. As part of the planning that goes along with an event of this magnitude is the savings plan. Thankfully, we have a little bit of a head start on this and have several investments that are starting to pay dividends both literally and figuratively. Additionally, this week we have set up several others. As with many things in life, the hardest part of it all is having the patience to see it through. But the pay off should be wonderful even if owning does require some extra work. I have already warned her that it will take me a few years to get used to not having to move every year. Of course that still leaves where are we moving to this year? Wednesday Comic: (click to enlarge)

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Cappuccino, German Chocolate Cake, Very Berry and Pina Colada. Today, all students at Trinity Christian Academy and JJ Pearce can get a free small yogurt by showing their student ID. There is really only so much that you can say on a day like today. The gloom seems to have set in and the rain is on its way. It might just be one of those days. Our thoughts and prayers go out to the students and the families at Virginia Tech.

I don't know how many of y'all use coupons when going out to eat; however, my wife and I love to use them. I'm certainly not going to turn down free meals and I hope that my pride never exceeds my wallet. Last night, we went to Spring Creek BBQ. The good folks at Spring Creek always send out a Buy One, Get One free coupon in the Value Pack monthly mailer. There is something fun about going out to eat for two and paying under 10 dollars. We also have coupons at Sugarless deLite that we send out to our email members. If you are not currently a member, come in and sign up. We send out one emai...

I'm not 100% sure that global warming is going to be the end all of destruction that some predict; however, I do know that it is certainly producing some interesting weather patterns in the meantime. Texas weather is always a little different. The last few weekends have added a new meaning to that word. Last nights storm produced little more than heavy rain at the store, but I heard that other areas got some good sized hail stones. Speaking of global warming , Texas, according to a new study, lead the way in carbon dioxide emission inc...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Cappuccino, Chocolate Raspberry, Very Berry and Pina Colada. Today, all of the items on the sale rack are 50% off their lowest marked price. Come in and get some excellent savings throughout the day. After shopping the Dallas area and the internet for the perfect toaster oven, we have decided to keep our current toaster oven. The final piece fell in place yesterday when I did a search on eBay and discovered that we apparently own a rare Black & Decker model that sells for around 100 dollars used. Why people would want to collect toaster ovens is a mystery to me; however, I do know that this toaster oven works and has for over 20 years. The only thing left to do is give it a good scrub down and invest the money that we saved. Friday in the News: Houston's reputation as the Barbecue Capital of Texas extends to the city's meat-filled skies. Scientists at Rice University say the polluted air above Houston includes fine p...

Make sure to come in early to get your full selection. The great toaster oven search is nearing its completion. For the last few days, I have been searching for the perfect toaster oven for our current and future home. I probably put a little more effort into this than most people, but I want to make sure that I get one that will work with our future decor. The basic problem is that we really only need a toaster oven for 4 slices and small items and none of the small ones actually look nice. I am determined to make a decision today. At least my old toaster oven works for now. I realized that the Stanl...

Once again, I put little into the first week of the season other than the joy of watching Baseball Tonight here and there and catching a few bits of a couple of games. Nevertheless, baseball season is here and it is time take my shot at calling the division winners. My fearless prediction for the 2007 division winners: NL East: Braves NL Central: Cardinals NL West: San Diego Wild Card: Mets AL East: Yankees AL Central: Minnesota AL West: Angels Wildcard: Cleveland The Braves appear to be rebuilt for another run, and I never count my Cardinals out. The Yankees will have a hard time of it again, but I think that they will win their division again. The bigger question might be what they can do in the playoffs. Thi...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Roasted Almond, Chocolate Raspberry, Very Berry and Pina Colada. Today is Teacher Day! All teachers can get a small yogurt for only 99 cents today by showing their school ID. We received our shipment of La Tortilla low carb tortillas (Wheat, Garlic and Onion) and one point Rosemary and Tomato Basil Wraps this morning. I came across an article in the USA Today about complications from diabetes . This is worth the read for anyone, but particularly those who have diabetes or pre-diabetes. Very often we like to stay in denial about the complications of this or other diseases because they are in the distant future which is a time frame that most of us have a hard time seeing as a reality. Nevertheless, the complications and the consequences are real although with proper diet and exercise they can often be avoided. Quiz Day: What's Your Travel Personality ?

We had a wonderful day with an Easter morning breakfast and an early morning church service followed by dinner with the family in Arlington. The remainder of the day was spent as a lazy day with a nap and a dinner consisting of homemade pizza sub wraps. While it started early, it was actually quite relaxing. One of the great things about first holidays in a new family is the chance to start new traditions. While we both carried over the tradition of an Easter card and a little gift (she got me the Lego Star Wars video game), we started a new one with the reading of Psalm 22 . I figure that you don't have to have children to start a tradition and that often the best time...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Roasted Almond, Peanut Butter, Very Berry and New York Cheesecake. Today you can get a free small yogurt (limit one per person) by telling us today's secret blog word: Snow-bunny If you didn't order a pie or cake for Easter, we have some extras on hand. Make sure to come in early to assure yourself of an Easter dessert. We are open on Easter Sunday from 12 PM to 6 PM. Regular hours. Hop on in for some last minute Easter goodies. A few weeks ago I would not have predicted the possibility of snow showers on the day before Easter. Not that anything will come of this, but it sure is an interesting weather pattern. If you don't like the cold, all you have to do is wait a few days. On Tuesday, we're supposed to be back into the low 80's and I don't think that we're going to look back on the cold again until October. One of our wedding presents was a reversible all weather comforter. We put the cold weather ...

Well, I realized this morning as I was getting ready to write the blog that the stat counter was no longer on the blog because of the template update. After a little bit of work, I was able to figure out how to insert the code into the new version of blogger. It can once again be viewed on the bottom of the page along with a new footer item called In the News. This draws on news feeds from across the internet on items that might be of interest to our customers like diabetes, sugar free, health, diet and exercise. Last night, we went with my in-laws to se...

Come and get yours today. Perfect for Weight Watchers®! Make sure to come in early to get your full selection. Last night I watch The Departed which I had borrowed from my sister and brother-in-law. I thought that it was a fairly good film but did not quiet leave up to it's hype and its Oscar award for best director. Here's the problem with the Oscar that Scorsese won, he's had better films. Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, The Color of Money, Goodfellas and Cape Fear all come to mind. While The Departed was good, it wasn't great. I'll admit that I don't follow movies as closely as I did, but it seems to...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Pecan, Mocha Fudge, Lemon and New York Cheesecake. Today, we have our buy one, get one free yogurt special from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one, excludes XL). Just the other day I was wondering when we would get our final cold front of the season. It appears that the front has arrived. After the rain and hail last evening, a cool wind started blowing into the metroplex. The current weather report shows that the next few days will be in the 60's with a dip into the upper 40's on Saturday. I'm just going to sit back and enjoy, along with my electric meter, the cooler temperatures over the next few days. Congratulations to the Lady Vols on their 7th national title for Division I NCAA women's basket ball. While I am personally a UT and Duke fan, I have to tip my hat to 7 championships. Very impressive. Wednesday Comic:

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Pecan, Mocha Fudge, Lemon and Marshmallow. All UT Dallas students can get a free small yogurt today by showing there student ID. (Limit one per person.) Warning: Sports blog ahead... Yesterday, the Florida Gators beat Ohio State to become the National Champions in NCAA Division I basketball. This is the first time that the football and basketball teams from the same university have won the national title in the same year. What makes this all the more sweet is that the Gators beat Ohio State in both football and basketball to win their two titles this year. I like the Gators, but I really dislike Ohio State. Congratulations to the Florida Gators! The other great thing about yesterday was the full start of the baseball season. April fools saw the first game, but it was just a teaser leading up to the onslaught of games. I'm going to post my predictions for baseball next week. I'm sure that you can't wait to see ...

We had a busy weekend in our new family this week. On Saturday night we entertained, hopefully, dinner guests. This was the first time that we have had friends over to our place. Yesterday evening, after cooking our favorite breakfast casserole for dinner, we watched the Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl. We are getting ready for the last movie of the trilogy that comes out in May. It was my wife's first time to see the movie and she seemed to really enjoy it. I think that it is a classic film. While the first film has about 10 to 15 minutes of too much action, it is well paced, humorous, smart, and very well acted. I am ex...
