All teachers can get a small yogurt for 99 cents simply by showing they school ID today. The internet got hooked up yesterday at the new place so I'm blogging from the apartment today. After three years without the internet at home, it is nice to be able to log on and check on things without having to wait. The move is finished and the last bit of cleaning will be done today at the old place. :) Today might actually be a little relaxing. Today's Winning Blogger Number: 42

We're going to file yesterday under "I've seen better." We hit a slight snag with the move in at the new apartment which has been solved now but was a bit of a bummer last night. Nevertheless, the point of mentioning this at all is to talk about the great part of yesterday since I am not one to dwell on the negatives. After the disappointment at the new place, we went to Spring Creek BBQ in Addison. The manager over heard my wife saying that it was going to be one of those days and my response that not ever day can be great. At the end of our meal, a peach cobbler with ice cream arrived on the house. It's amazing how a small act of kindness can make

Friday in the News: While it is not true that Walt Disney's body has been cryogenically preserved, the original Pirates of the Caribbean ride once had real human skeletons hanging from the walls. Designers felt that the artificial skeletons available at the time weren't sufficiently realistic-looking. Eventually, the skeletons were returned and properly buried.

We will continue to hand them out over the next few weeks, but the program starts tomorrow. You will have nice odds if you are one of the first few to get in on the 100 Days of Blogger . My Rant: Linday Lohan isn't a normal topic on my blog entries. Thankfully, neither are any of the gal pals that also light up the tickers on the news channels and soak up the ink in the papers. Unfortunately, I couldn't sit back on this one. It's not the fact that she was arrested again or that she is suspected of having illegal substances in her system. Rather, I find the biggest shame to be the way that people react to the sad tailspin. I guess it's easy to make off the cuff remarks and sit back and la

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Toffee Nut, Maple Nut, Pina Colada, New York Cheesecake.

It doesn't post an end date, but there is no coupon needed. The other great thing about this offer is that you can shop at any of the Cafepress shops. While you could certainly find a few friends to go in with you for a new Sugarless deLite shirt, you could also just find some other jewels by shopping around. One additional note about Cafepress, the orders seem to take around 8 to 10 business days to complete. If you are interested in having a Sugarless deLite Shirt for our birthday celebration on the 3rd and 4th of August for your free large yogurt, an order this weekend might be the best way to get those in time. We're going to skip the Saturday distraction today since most of our standard part

Thank Goodness for NASA

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Caramel, Maple Nut, Pina Colada, New York Cheesecake. All of the items on the Sale Rack are 50% off the lowest marked price today. Come in and get some great deals. Friday in the News: In 2004, the government of Britain launched an inquiry into the Coca-Cola Company over its brand of bottled water, Dasani. Coke says Dasani is the result of a "highly sophisticated purification process" that removes any impurities, such as "bacteria, viruses, salts, minerals, sugars, proteins, and toxic particles." But whistle-blowers say that Dasani is, in fact, tap water. It was discovered that people are paying what amounts to a 1,000 percent markup for tap water piped into the company's factory in southeast London. Coke says that they can call their product "pure" because they use a high-tech filter system perfected by NASA. (This story brought to you by the WWDTM daily calendar.) Happy Birthday Wishes to Chr

With the Caramel yogurt in the machines, now is the best time to try a Kahlua Mudslide. We've got a bonus special on crème pies with two options: Option One: Buy any crème pie for $12.99. Option Two: Buy any crème pie for $19.99 and get the second crème pie free. This offer is limited to supplies on hand (no pre-orders). Remember, each slice of a crème pie is only 3 Points on Weight Watchers®. One thing that my wife and I do well together is cook. Last night, we made a great low carb eggplant parmesan. It was a little beyond what we would normally do in terms of preparation and cook time. We started at 6 o'clock and ate around 8 o'clock, but the payoff was well worth while. It is rare to come across a recipe that doesn't need a little tweaking. This was one of them. I'm ready for t

Well, the count down is officially on to the release of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows. This Saturday morning at 12:00 AM the new book will be released to the millions of fans waiting in line at the thousands of retail book stores holding Harry Potter Parties. Both young and old alike will be waiting to find out the fate of Harry Potter. I came across an interesting article today in the USAToday about Harry Potter and his cultural take over. Right now the extent of the Potter mania lies with the movies for me; however, I know a lot

The Magic Continues

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Cappuccino, Peanut Butter, Lemon, Vanilla Malt. 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. We've now had several people order some of our new T-Shirts. I look forward to seeing them in the store. The coupons codes that were listed last week were supposed to expire yesterday; however, they may still work for a day or two. The only other code that I could currently find out there is this one: COUPONTEE: 10 dollars off of a 50 dollar purchase. I'll continue to check for more over the next few weeks and post them here when I find them. I saw Harry Potter: Order of the Phoenix last night. It is amazing to me that five films into the series, there is not a bad one yet. I do think that this one is possibly the weakest of the five so far, but it is a toss up between this and the fourth installment. My wife astutely pointed

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Cappuccino, Peanut Butter, Lemon, Vanilla Malt. We have all of our crème pies on sale for $14.99 each (regularly $19.99) today and Sunday. We had our first order for one of the new Sugarless deLite T-Shirts yesterday. As I was issuing the free large yogurt to the customer who brought in her receipt, it dawned on us that with the free (one time) yogurt for showing the receipt, the two bonus days in August (3rd and 4th), and the coupon code that you can use, you can get a T-Shirt for pretty cheap. Also, I'm not going to rule out future T-Shirt/Sweatshirt/Golf Shirt days. (There is now a permanent link to the store on the right called Sugarless D Apparel.) These coupons will help you get into one of our shirts for a little cheaper through July 15th: DES159: Saves 10 dollars off of any purchase of 40 dollars or more. CRT159: Saves 5 dollars off of any purchase of 35 or more. (New) NCD159: Saves 3 dollars off of any purchase of

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Cappuccino, Peanut Butter, Lemon, Vanilla Malt. This weekend, we have all of our creme pies on sale for $14.99 each. Call today and order for Saturday or Sunday. Also, you can take your chances and walk in to see what we have available. There are a few more days to take advantage of the coupon codes for the new Sugarless deLite apparel . After July 15th when these end, I will periodically check for additional codes for cafepress.com and post them here. DES159: Saves 10 dollars off of any purchase of 40 dollars or more.

The pita, English Muffins and the bagels have arrived. All varieties of the bagels (Blueberry, Sweet Wheat, Cinnamon, Onion, White and the Perfect 10) are available. Come in today to get the best selection. It occurred to me yesterday that many people who check this blog probably only check the current day instead of catching up on the days that they have missed. Given that the main purpose of the blog is to update yogurt flavors, it makes sense. Accordingly, I have decided that I will repost the codes for cafepress.com until July 15, which is when they expire. DES159: Saves 10 dollars off of any purchase of 40 dollars or more. NCD159: Saves 3 dollars off of any purchase of 10 dollars or more. In addition to getting a free small, medium or large yogurt when you bring your receipt in and wear your n

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Banana Cheesecake, Orange Vanilla, Angel Food Cake. Tonight, the yogurt is buy one, get one free (limit one, excludes XL) from 6 PM to 8 PM. We've got some pretty exciting things in the pipeline for our customers at Sugarless deLite. At the beginning of August, the store will celebrate it's 18th year of operation and we are throwing a party. We'll have some details over the next week or two both on the blog and in the store. For now, I can tell you that it will take place on the first weekend of August. In addition to our in-store specials that we will have, I have taken it upon myself to do a few shirts and other products for the store. In anticipation of this birthday, we had our former employee Franklin do a few pieces of artwork for the store. He did a wonderful job and I think that the products have turned out quite well. If you would like to check the first batch out, you can find them at http://www.

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Banana Cheesecake, Orange Vanilla, Angel Food Cake. 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. News of interest to our diabetic customers: Pumpkin may cut injections for diabetes . I went to see Sicko yesterday with a few of my friends. I would suggest that everyone go to see it. I'm not pushing one side or the other on the argument of health care, but I do think that this film does a decent job of showing flaws in the American system. It doesn't give a great plan for an alternate system; however, the film does show several other countries (Canada, Great Brittan, France and the controversial inclusion of Cuba) and the experiences of the citizens. The greatest problem and slant to the film is that it does not address the issue of the cost of the systems for these countries. Unlike many of his previous fil

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Butterscotch, Orange Vanilla, Angel Food Cake. Today, we have our yogurt buy one, get one free from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one, no XL). For the last week and a half, my wife and I have been house/animal sitting in Allen for my sister and brother-in-law. I’m glad to say that they are on their way home today and that we will once again be back in our own home. It’s nice to get away and take a break, but it’s also nice to come back and sleep in your own bed and be surrounded by your own things. Today is July 7, 2007 and is one of the most popular choices in years for a wedding date. (Oddly enough, June 6, 2006 was not as popular.) I can't help but think that part of this excitement over the date is the fact that there is absolutely no excuse for forgetting an anniversary. The funniest part of the linked article for me was the explanation of the superstitious because, while I am not overboard, I am a little bit supersti

All cones are on sale for $1.85 (regularly $2.72) all day long. Because of the holiday, the bagel shipment will arrive tomorrow. Joey Chestnut is now the champion of Nathan’s Famous Hot Dog Eating Contest . He beat Takeru Kobayashi, the champion of six years running, and brought the belt back to the U.S.A. I've never been prouder of my nation that I was when I heard that an American has been credited with the all time record for hot dog consumption (66) in twelve minutes. Of course, I was also greatly sickened. Hopefully, the rain held off for most people yesterday so that the fireworks could be enjoyed. The summer vacation season is full swing now. I know that one of our readers got to participate in their first Forth of July in England. I'd be interested to see what coverage this American holiday gets over in the former motherland.

If you are a teacher, show your ID to receive a small yogurt for 99 cents all day long. We are open tomorrow, July 4th, from 12 PM to 6 PM. I don't know what I'll do tomorrow for the 4th of July; however, I will sleep later than normal. While the store will be open, I'm taking the day off and spending a little time with the wife. I'm thinking that sleeping in and cooking a nice breakfast sounds like a good start. Maybe we will do some shopping or a movie later in the day. We might even attach ourselves to a grill out and see some fireworks. Bottom line: We'll take it easy. Hopefully, everyone will have a safe 4th of July. Remember to stop in and get some sugar free treats before you go to see the fireworks. We will have yogurt, cakes, pies and more for you tomorrow. Quiz Day: Are You Ready to Be a Wife ?
