Sugarless deLite's Daily Report

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Brickle, German Chocolate Cake, Vanilla Malt and Very Berry. Today's special is Parfait Day! All of our parfaits are on sale for $2.99 (regularly $3.69). This is first come, first serve so don't delay. The bagels, pita, and English Muffins will not arrive today because of the Memorial Day holiday. They will be delivered tomorrow around 11:30 AM. We do have some of the bagels, pita, and English Muffins available in the store now if you need them today. You can tell that summer is quickly approaching because of the number of people that are getting their summer vacations planned out. Some of the customers that I have spoken with have already been on a trip or are leaving in the next week or two to start their holidays. Other than a quick shot down to Austin, I don't think that the Mrs. and I have anything concrete. If anyone is doing something fun, feel free to share by leaving a comment.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Brickle, Peanut Butter, Vanilla Malt and Very Berry. Tonight, our yogurt is buy one, get one free from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one, excludes XL). One thing that I failed to mention about my weekend was the Saturday night event. One of my friends, who happens to be proud alumna of Sugarless deLite, had her birthday party. The event was a surprise midnight skate party with a 70's/80's theme. I remember that all of us seemed to have a wonderful time. I was, however, happy to read in the emails yesterday that I was not the only one who was still suffering from the event. It seems that the scraps and bruises that you collect as a youth out on the rink are a little different when you collect them in your late 20's and early 30's. One look at my ankle would well prove this point. With all of the falls, it was still fun to relive a part of our youth even if it was just to serve as a poignant reminder of how much older...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Brickle, Peanut Butter, Vanilla Malt and Very Berry. Today, we have our Yogurt Cones on sale for $1.85 (regularly $2.77). There was no update yesterday on the blog because, while the store was open from 12 PM to 6 PM, I was at home sleeping in and enjoying a little time off. The traditional weekend is a rare beast for a Sugarless deLite employee so I certainly jumped at the opportunity to take the back to back days off. And what does one do on a rainy Memorial Day off? My wife and I opted to curl up on the couch after breakfast at noon and settle in for a 12 show marathon of Veronica Mars. Now, we only have six episodes left in season 2. Of course, the day of rest was well deserved after trudging through the mud all day Sunday at Scarborough. It actually turned out to be a decent day once we got down there, but the fair grounds were a mess and our shoes paid a heavy price. Still, the rain made the crowd a little lighter t...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Pecan Praline, Orange Vanilla and Pina Colada. Tonight, we have a buy one, get one free (limit one, excludes XL) special on our frozen yogurt from 6 PM to 8 PM. Last night, I went with one of my friends to the Morrissey concert at the Palladium Ballroom in Dallas. Before I get to my short review, I have a little rant. About the Drive and the Lines: The 20 minute drive took one hour because people have apparently forgotten or have never known how to drive in the rain. The parking was 10 dollars and the directions to the parking lot were horrible. The lines at the concert to have your ID checked were ridiculously set up. There were two of them. One line had three people checking and the other had one person. Needless to say, we got in the line that had one person and didn't notice the three people checking the other line until we were right at the end of our line. About the other concert patrons: Once we...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Pecan Praline, Orange Vanilla and Pina Colada. Today, we have all of the items on the Sale Rack for 50% off the lowest marked price. Come and get some great savings. Movie Review: The day of the pirate has come and gone and the voyages of Capitan Jack Sparrow and his crew have reach and end...or have they? After a near three hour affair of computer graphic driven story lines, Jerry Bruckheimer's trademarked big action sequences and more than a handful of new character introductions, we're left with this: We may not have seen the last of Capitan Jack Sparrow. Pirates of the Caribbean: At World's End is a fun film. It is not great. It is not as witty as the first installment. It is not something that I will rave about; however, it is a fun film that once again manages to make the 2 hour and 48 minutes seem like 2 hours. It has some wonderful in jokes and pop culture references and does a decent jo...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Pecan Praline, Orange Vanilla and Pina Colada. Today is Shake Day! All shakes are $3.69 all day long (regularly $3.93-$4.62). The bagels, English Muffins and pita have arrived! We have all varieties on hand (Blueberry, Sweet Wheat, Cinnamon, Onion, White and Perfect 10). Come and get yours today. Perfect for Weight Watchers® or anyone who wants to add something healthy to their daily intake. Also, we got two new types of chocolate from the makers of Chocolite and the Curb Bites. The first is a Pecan Cluster that is called a Beauty Bite. This one has Alpha Lapoic in it to help maintain and support healthy skin. The second is a Cacao Almond Fudge that is called a Healthy Bite. This one has plant sterol esters which are intended to help promote and support good heart health. Regardless of whatever health benefits that they may have, they just flat out taste really good. It's finally here. The last few weeks...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Butterscotch, Orange Vanilla and Pina Colada. Today is Teacher Day! All teachers can show their ID to receive a small yogurt for only 99 cents. It's just another way that we like to say thank you to one of our greatest resources. The Cowboys and the Dallas/Fort Worth area scored a major win yesterday in securing the 2011 Super Bowl for the new Cowboy's Stadium in Arlington, Texas. Of course, the Super Bowl is a huge deal economically for the area with one week revenue of 300 to 400 million, but it's also a big deal for national and worldwide exposure. It should be a pretty interesting event and it might just be the beginning of more high profile events at Jerry World. So now that the Cowboys have won the bid, there is only a couple of things that I know that I need to do to make this a successful Super Bowl for me. The first is to save up 2000 to 4000 dollars over the next two years. The second i...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Butterscotch, Orange Vanilla and Pina Colada. Today is Cone Day! All cones are only $1.85 today (regularly $2.77). This morning I had the second of my tri-annual teeth cleanings. I have never hid my dislike of the doctor's office or dentist chair, but I have come to see them as a necessary evil. I got a clean bill of health for the second time in a row and a little bit of praise from the hygienist as well. It is good to see that my religious devotion to flossing has paid dividends. That being said, I still get a little nervous when I know that I have an appointment. Although I know longer feel like I am cramming for a test when I am brushing and flossing the night before, I do have those little thoughts. The ones that say, "What if this isn't enough?" So I inevitably end up staying up late with nervous energy and general unrest. However, all of this restlessness usually translates to a wonderf...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Butterscotch, Roasted Almond and Pina Colada. Today, you can ship to any of the lower 48 states (UPS ground only) for $6.99. Come into the store and pick out your items, then let us ship for you. I got to go to my second FC Dallas game yesterday and watch the Hoops defeat Real Salt Lake 2-1. The match was well played with the exception of a card happy referee. While many Americans don't understand the world’s obsession with soccer, I think that most of them could appreciate the beauty of some of the goals. Thankfully, I was able to witness such a goal in the 82nd minute yesterday by a FC Dallas defender. It was a brilliant strike from outside the box that was placed perfectly in the back corner of the goal. Both times, I have been impressed with the quality of Pizza Hut Park. It truly is a world class soccer venue even if it is half of the size in terms of capacity of many of the larger world clubs. The gre...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Butterscotch (after 4:30 PM), Roasted Almond and Peach. This weekend, we have all of our pecan pies on sale for $14.99 (regularly $19.99). One thing that I forgot about in planning out the busy stretch of May was the soccer game on Sunday. Thankfully, my wife reminded me about it. So it seems that after a lazy night last night with a little grocery shopping and a movie, we're back into a busy weekend with a birthday party and a soccer game. We watched Big Fish yesterday. I had never seen this film even though I was always interested in viewing it. It was a very good film. I love Tim Burton's directing style and his vivid colors. Most of all, it was a love story wrapped in a fantasy and that made for good viewing. Instead of being overly sappy, it released the sentiment in measured dose, building over time until a great shot at the end. Well done. Your Saturday Distraction: What Rose Represents Your Lov...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Pistachio, Roasted Almond and Peach. Featured Company Special: All workers at Progressive Insurance can get a 99 cent small yogurt today by showing their work ID. Well, my birthday has come and gone. Thanks to my friends who made it out the Grill last night. I think tonight seems like a good night for a little grocery shopping and a little rest. I started thinking about everything that we are planning on doing over the next few weeks and it is quiet a line up. I'm not as young as I was two days ago, so I better take that into account. Friday in the News: "She is the most dangerous enemy of the bureau.... She might well have succeeded in interfering with the bureau's ability to contain the Communist menace in the United States." J. Edgar Hoover said this in 1941 about Eleanor Roosevelt. The First Lady commented on the way Hoover used the FBI to spy on and blackmail private citizens was reminisc...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Pistachio, Roasted Almond and Peach. Today, all JJ Pearce and Trinity Christian Academy students can get a free small yogurt by showing their student ID. Congratulations to the graduating Class of 2007 at Trinity Christian Academy. The bagels, pita and English Muffins have NOT been delivered. UPS dropped the ball. They will be delivered tomorrow and we do still have a good selection available in the freezer. It's official...I'm one year older today and only one year away from 30. That seems like a much bigger number when I type it out. The good news is that, while I am the old man with my fraternity brothers, I am still one of the young ones with my other group of friends. I get to sit through the gauntlet of 30th birthdays this year and smile. As for what one does on a 29th birthday, I've chosen to sit back and enjoy a meal at the Bavarian Grill in Plano with my friends. If there is one res...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Pistachio, Peach and Lemon. Tonight, we have our buy one, get one free special for our frozen yogurt (limit one, excludes XL) from 6 PM to 8 PM. My wife is really excited about the new Pirates of the Caribbean film. I think that she has caught that darn piratical bug that has been going around lately. Thankfully, the new movie is only 8 days away. We're going out with our friends to see the midnight showing which will also have a live pre-show performance by the Bilge Pumps, our favorite little pirate band. Now if I can just convince her to dress up like a pirate also... Wednesday Comic: (click to enlarge)

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Pistachio, Peach and Lemon. Today is Cone Day! All cones are $1.85 all day long (regularly $2.77). Last night, a rarity occurred in our household, my wife and I were both tired and ready for bed by 10:00 PM. normally, she is a little more likely to be tired and I am very likely to stay up for another few hours. As we were both exhausted, however, we headed to bed at 10:15 PM. I can't remember the last time that I went to bed before 11:00 PM without being sick. After 30 minutes of sleep, I got a phone call. There's just something about getting a phone call after 10 PM during the week once you’re a few years out of college for a few years because it never seems to be good news. Seeing it was from one of my fraternity brothers, I answered. Unfortunately, a brother who was a former employee at the store had been broadsided by a car on Sunday when he was riding his motorcycle. He is currently in criti...

Come into the store and pick out your items, then let us ship for you. This weekend ended up being quiet busy for us in the store at Sugarless deLite. It seems that once again, most of us put off our Mother's Day shopping until the last minute. Of course, if you forgot, we can still send something out for you. In addition to a busy weekend at the store, my wife and I had a busy weekend with our friends. On Saturday, she attended a Bachelorette party for her former roommate. Seeing the opportunity for a few hours at home alone, I skipped out on the Taste of Addison event and put together her long over due second wedding present so that she could redeem one of her birthday coupons. On Sunday, we went over to our friend’s apartment and cooked vegetarian fajitas for 10. It was a lot of fun being abl...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Malt, Strawberry Shortcake, New York Cheesecake and Lemon. Tonight, our yogurt is buy one, get one free from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one, excludes XL). Tomorrow is Mother's Day. We are open from 12 PM to 6 PM for any last minute shopping needs. The thing that strikes me most about the Dallas Mavericks not being in the playoffs is that I just don't care about the NBA playoffs without them in it. I guess that is really the judge of weather you like a sport or not. Baseball is a sport that I will follow all the way through the playoffs without on of my teams in contention. To be sure, the playoffs are better for me when the Cardinals or Yankees are in it; however, I'm still going to enjoy the game. I heard the playoff scores today on the way into work for the NBA and I was truly hard pressed to care. On one hand, I would like to see Golden State get past the second round so that it would make Dallas' exit look...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Cappuccino, New York Cheesecake and Lemon. Today is Teacher Day. Show us your ID and get a small yogurt for only 99 cents (limit one per person). Sometimes I wish that my predictions weren't as accurate as they often are. I was bested 3 out of 4 games. The first game was horrible as I tried to work off my eight years of rust. I avoided a skunk by virtue of my one point scored. The second game went a little better with some nice rallies amounting to a loss at 15-9. By the third game I had rediscovered my serve and was able to win 15-8. Though I was up in the final game 13-8, Rick managed to come back in a strong fashion and win out 15-13. If I can only get my backhand to return, I might provide a better match. On the upside, Stacey was able to take a great photo: Who knew that Rick had ups like that? Needless to say, the soreness was prevalent this morning. Whenever you workout in a different manner, you sure ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Mint, Cappuccino, White Chocolate Mousse and Boysenberry. Today is Cone Day! All day long, we have our cones on sale for $1.85 (regularly $2.72). Do you ever have those evenings that you both dread and look forward to at the same time? I've got one tonight. Rick and I are going to square off on the racquetball court for a friendly game. The last time that I played racquetball was sometime during my junior year in college which would sadly put the time at about 8 years. Thankfully, I kept all of my equipment, but I am sure that I've managed to loose most of my meager skills. Because Rick and I are both competitive people, I think it will make for an interesting match. Before the match, I am going to try to brush up on the rules. I've also have to make sure that I stretch even thought I know already that I will be sore tomorrow. Anytime you move and twist around in different ways than you’re used to, you’re ...

Today, you can ship to any of the lower 48 states (UPS ground only) for $6.99. Come into the store and pick out your items, then let us ship for you. First, let me just say that the pillow saga has indeed ended for me. The one that I got sleeps like a dream. I'm talking about some deep sleep. Even though it took a little longer than I would have liked, it is nice to have found a winner. Of course, the weekend of activity could have had something to do with the good sleep as well. On Friday night, we went to Dovie's in Addison and had a wonderful dinner then we stayed up late talking the night away. On Saturday night, we were itching to get out and spend some time with our friends so we organized a trip to the Bavarian Grill where we closed the place down. After waking up and going to church on Sunday, we ran some errands for some much needed groceries an...

Tomorrow, we have a day long coke float special. Coke floats are $2.99 all day long. It's finally over. No, I'm not talking about the Mavericks post season run since that never really began. I'm talking about the great pillow hunt of 2007 a.k.a., the quest for the Perfect Pillow. What began a few weeks ago is finally concluded or so I hope. The saga started a week ago when we took back an item that we had somehow received twice as a wedding present. The one thing that we had not gotten that I was really looking forward to getting was a new set of pillows. With that in mind and a coupon in hand, we exchanged the item for two queen size pillows. ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Caramel Fudge, Toffee Nut, Angel Food Cake and Boysenberry. This evening, we have our yogurt buy one, get one free (limit one, excludes XL) from 6 PM to 8 PM. I went to Half Price Books last evening and did a little shopping. (One Christmas present down.) At the check out counter, there was a small strip of green paper that had the word b(eco)me on it. Curious and assuming that it had something to do with the environment, I picked it up and flipped it over. Here is what it said: It's good to b(eco)me old news. If United States citizens recycled just 10% of newspapers, approximately 25 million trees would be saved annually. About 75% of what we throw out could be recycled into tomorrow's new, books and household paper products. Once you're done reading a book, donate it or sell it to a secondhand shop or used book store. Start the cycle over again and buy second hand products whenever possible. BARE FACTS & STATS:...

The overcast skies look like they are here to stay for the rest of the week. It was kind of funny watching the Weather Channel and seeing four straight days of rain and thunder showers. The upside is that I didn't see any hail storms, and we can always use a little rain to remind us of how great the sunshine is. Don't worry about the rain keeping us from doing our job.
