To Brad, the master manager of this domain-your efforts, guidance of our staff and juggling of the many hats you wear very well is appreciated,especially when things get "ganza meshugah", which is often.

Oh, sorry. Got caught up in that daydream again.Sounded good, didn't it? Well, you CAN get the margarita mix and the chocolate truffles from us. However, if you get to Seychelles, i would not put up one argument if you take me and my husband with you. We won't bother you at all.

Time to start making your New Year's resolution list if you are into that sort of things. Mine are simple-don't do anything newsworthy because they only print the ridiculous, the bad,embarassing and the inane or insane. My husband's list never changes.He wants the Atlanta Braves to win the World Series this year and every year.Our den is the Atlanta Braves Hall of Fame inner sanctum.

We have baked some extra pies for you, and we have plenty of chocolates and sweets available for you. While you are in the store, don't forget to get your stocking stuffer items. After going to church and brunch, my family and I split ways so that I could work and they could do some shopping. We met up afterwards to see the new National Treasure movie. If you can stomach a bit of a stretch from the plot and about 20 minutes of unnecessary movie time, this is one that would make a good holiday film for the family. If you've seen the original, this one follows the same formula. The same characters return with a different treasure and a dif

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Grasshopper (Mint), Pumpkin, Marshmallow, and Egg Nog. Cone Day! All cones are $1.85 (regularly $2.77). We are no longer accepting additional orders for the bakery. We will bake extra pies and cake loaves, but it is a good idea to come in early to make sure that you can get something if you don't have an order. After today, we will be down to the final two shopping days before Christmas. We will be open extended hours tomorrow and our hours will be shorter on Monday. Sunday: 10 AM to 6 PM Monday: 9 AM to 4 PM While you are in the store, it is a good idea to pick up a calendar so that you will know the hours for the last week of the year. The Festivus celebration was wonderful. We managed quite a good showing of grievances and, as the Festivus cheer spread, to include the staff of Bavarian Grill. The friendly banter between our table and the accordion player was enjoyable. Moreover, the annual hiding of the Festivus pole was

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Roasted Almond, Pumpkin, Peanut Butter, and Pina Colada. Parfait Day! All parfaits are $2.99 today (regularly $3.69). It is not a bad idea to call and order these. They tend to go very quickly when they are on sale. The bagels, pita (wheat and white), and English Muffins have arrived. We have received our shipment and have all varieties of bagels (Blueberry, Sweet Wheat, Cinnamon, Onion, White, and Perfect 10) on hand in the store. The bagel shipment will be a bit off for the next two weeks. Next week, we will receive our shipment on Friday instead of Thursday. The first week of the new year, we will not receive a shipment. It's not a bad idea to stock up. Today is the deadline to order for the holidays. Unlike Thanksgiving, we are usually able to fit in a few more orders after the deadline, but it is always best to get an order in early if you know that you need one. Some of you might be starting your weekend early or takin

Buy one, get one free from 6 PM to 8 PM (limit one, excludes XL). There are two more days until the holiday orders are due for bakery items. We are still currently accepting cake orders as well as pies, cheesecakes, and pumpkin breads. Don't forget to order. My holiday shopping is done, and I am getting ready to hunker down for the long hall of the next several days. While I'm looking forward to vacation and time with family, I do enjoy the time that I get to spend helping people find the perfect gift. For as busy as everyone gets this time of year, most of us seem to stay in pretty good moods. It's one of the things that make the holidays special. I just think it's better if we don't forget to slow down a little and be thankful for what we have. Quiz Day: What Do the Holidays Mean to You ? What The Holidays Mean to You For you,

Also, if you live in the area and need a bakery item for Christmas, don't forget to place your order by this Thursday, the 20th. After a busy day at the store, I went for a relaxing journey to the mall. Crazy? Maybe, but the mall wasn't that bad. While it was busy, I managed to walk through the crowds without to much of a problem. I got some of my favorite pretzels at Antie Anne's and then continued on to my destination. I kind of wondered around in that over tired haze after I completed my shopping goal. It's an odd form of decompression, but it worked well. It's nice being on the other side of the counter wishin

The next to last shopping weekend of the season is here. We're going to have a lot of people coming in today, but don't be afraid to join them. Personally, I've only got one person left for which to shop. I took the responsibility of shopping for my mom, and my wife is going to shop for her dad. I figured it was a fair trade. I'm looking forward to getting finished and wrapping the presents. In the meantime, we have been stalling by watching the final season of Veronica Mars. The show is proving to be a winner once again. The sharp writing is still enjoyable and refreshing. The character development, which has always been a strength of the show, is moving along at a nice pace again.

We have received our shipment and have all varieties of bagels (Blueberry, Sweet Wheat, Cinnamon, Onion, White, and Perfect 10) on hand. For the second time in a week, my wife and I ate at Kenny's Wood Fired Grill in Addison. This is not a place that we would normally stop into, but we had two 50 dollar gift certificates. Even though it would not have made it on to our to try list based on curiosity, it is a fantastic restaurant. If your looking for a great place to go for a date or a relaxing evening out, this dimly lit chophouse is an excellent choice. The average plate will run 20 to 25 dollars, and the food is not going to be massed on your plate. Rather, the gourmet style

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Roasted Almond, Butter Brickle, Egg Nog, and New York Cheesecake. Yogurt Club Day!

If you are not a member of the Yogurt Club ask us about it and join today to start saving. Christmas is only 12 days away after today. This fact got me thinking about the 12 Days of Christmas song. (The only good version of this song belongs to the Muppets and John Denver.) I've always assumed that the song refers to the 12 days before Christmas; however, it is actually an event that starts on Christmas Day and concludes through the morning of Epiphany on January the 6th. The link will take you to the Wikipedia entry for anyone who would like to read more. I found it interesting. One thing that I did know about the 12 Days of Christmas song is that it is used as an

There are only thirteen days left to shop at Sugarless deLite before Christmas. We will be closed on Christmas day.

The hours start to change on the 23rd (open from 10 AM to 6 PM) and the 24th (open from 9 AM to 4 PM). After a couple of day of feeling under the weather, my body seems to have recovered from whatever ailed it. It was fortunate that I was not feeling well on a weekend that I had off already. While I was sick, I was not so sick as to miss the graduation celebration. I just ended up sleeping a lot afterwards. Now that I am feeling better, it is full steam ahead until Christmas. :) There is more good news for the Mediterranean diet . It seems that strictly following th

We've got our shakes on sale for $3.69 today for all varieties (regularly $3.93-$4.62). I noticed a couple of mistakes on yesterday's mailer. The first was a grammatic error in the first sentence. The second was a little more important. The coupons should all read 2007 for their expiration and not 2006. Mea Culpa. I guess that is what I get for cutting corners.

I like musicals, and I am not ashamed to say it. We grew up watching musicals in my house which is probably because my mom grow up watching musicals on the big screen. As my wife will attest, I will frequently break out in song. If my song is le
