Tomorrow: Coke floats for only $2.99 (regularly $4.62). New Calendar on Monday! As is our budding tradition on the day after Thanksgiving, Erica and I put up our Christmas tree and lights last night. This year we have a new pair of LED icicle lights that we've hung in front of our blue blinds. I think it adds a nice touch to the room with the tree lit and the icicles behind. Once we had finished dinner, we decided to give the stocking hunt one more try. We've had a very hard time finding stockings. Last year, we opted to go without. So far this year, we've had just as hard of a time finding one that we both liked. While it was originally supposed to only be a trip to one store, it turned into a trip to several with a mall journey thrown in for good measure. Finally, we found our ma...

All pumpkin, cherry, chocolate creme, and coconut creme pies are on sell for only $14.99. I hope that everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Erica and I had an excellent time in Arlington at a wonderful family linner. Thankfully, the Cowboys also managed a pretty good performance in their victory over the Seahawks, and the Longhorns dominated the Aggies in a rivalry that normally proves to be a little dangerous. Black Friday is here. If you didn't get up this morning before the crack of dawn, you're probably one of the smart ones. I'm not, so I did. A very successful shopping trip...

It is now time to put those towers to use. The bakery is ramped up and going strong. We'll put in a extra time from here until Thanksgiving. It is pretty much an open to close gig for the next three days. Thanks to everyone who has pre-ordered. Remember if you have not, don't worry. Just call us in the next day or two and we should be able to acco...

With all of the last minute orders and planning for the three day stretch, we're going to have a lot to keep us occupied. Thankfully, we're pretty well tested. For as much of a strain as it sometimes can be, there is little that we haven't already come up against. It's like surfing this time of year, you just have to ride the waves. The downside about Thanksgiving is that the work at the store leaves little time fo...

If you need them for Thanksgiving, we've got them. Call us at 972.644.2000 to place your order. Green Tip: The tragic number of animals euthanized each year--9.6 million, according to the American Humane Association--is reason enough to help control pet population growth. But there's more. Feral animals kill mammals and songbirds and have been known to infect wild populations--and they're often the offspring of family pets. (It's believed...

If you can't find what you're looking for, we've still got it. Just ask us where we moved it. Also, if you need a cake for the weekend, it is a good idea to go ahead and get your order in to the store. The last day to order anything that is not on the Thanksgiving form is Saturday the 22nd. Those orders that are not on the Thanksgiving form ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Grasshopper, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Banana. Shake Day! All shakes are $3.69 today (regularly $4.62). Pies, Cheesecakes, and Pumpkin Breads? If you need them for Thanksgiving, we've got them. Call us at 972.644.2000 to place your order. One thing that I try not to do during this time of year is add extra things to the mix. I try to get my holiday shopping done early. (Christmas is taken care of with the exception of one gift.) I try to get bills paid out. I try to basically get things accomplished so that I can focus on work and then relaxing when I get home from work. This year, we've added a little kink. We're apartment shopping. After having a bad stretch with maintenance and management at our current apartment community, we've decided to move out and seek greener pastures. Hopefully, we'll get this nailed down in the next couple of days. Then we'll just have to figure out how to move duri...

If you need something great for Thanksgiving, look no further than Sugarless deLite. You can call us at 972.644.2000 to place an order. The order form is below: In general, there is always an air of excitement in the store this time of year. The oven is going everyday. The workers are scurrying like elves with prep work since hardly anything actually comes pre-made to the store. All of this activity means that my work load is greatly amplified. As with most people around the main crush of the holiday season, I start to feel like there are not enough hours in the day for the work that needs to be done. The downside is that when I get home, I just have such a hard time shutting ...

Forgive me if I seem a little groggy today. I had one of those nights last night where sleep did not come easily. The type where you are either too hot or not warm enough. Where you wake up at 3 and aren't able to go back to sleep until 5. That type of night. The type that sets you back a weeks worth of sleep in one evening. I could say it was all because of the Cowboys exciting win in Washington, but that just wouldn't be true. Nevertheless, I was glad to see that t...

Eight days left to order for Thanksgiving. Stop on by or call us at 972.644.2000 to place your order. Well, the holiday time is certainly upon us at the store. A couple of days ago at dinner, Erica turned to me and said that I had the holiday look. I would guess that the look translates to a half crazed unable to shut down look. During this stretch of the year, I tend to revert back to my insomniac ways of old. Additionally, I develop a bizarre taste for fast-food. I'm sure that this has something to do with the ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Devil's Food Cake, White Chocolate Mousse, and Orange Vanilla. 50% off the Sale Rack! We're clearing out some stuff before the holidays, so you can find even more great specials. Nine days left until the ordering deadline for Thanksgiving. While we normally bake additional items, you can get what you want if you order early. 972.644.2000. Green Tip: Go to work on the season's falling leaves with your trusty yard rake, and your emissions are limited to a little sweat. If you use a gas-powered leaf blower instead, you can spew out as much combustion emissions in an hour's work as a car puts out while traveling 350 miles. What's more, the car spreads pollution over a wide area--but the leaf blower puts it right in your yard. [This tip brought to you by the Page-a-Day calendar.] Happy Birthday Wishes to Charles Philip Arthur George or The Prince Charles, Prince of Wales. Perhaps known better for his ...

You'll be glad to hear that we got a 93 out of 100. I finished up Olympos last night. The follow-up to Ilium was not on my TBR list, but my friend had loaned it to me along with Ilium, so I felt compelled to read it while the other was still fresh on my mind. Both books made for a very interesting read. I do feel that the fist was better than the second. If indeed the second is the last, it felt like it was undecided. It's not that it doesn't end. Rather, I fel...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butterscotch, Butter Pecan, White Chocolate Mousse, and Orange Vanilla. Cone Day! All yogurt cones are only $2.08 today (regularly $2.77). The upside to the story that I'm about to tell is that Erica and I don't watch much TV. Our only TV decided to break on Saturday night. After 10 years of toiling away, manly for video games, it decided to freak out and cease operation. As I was playing Final Fantasy XII, the TV flicked off and then proceeded to turn on and off repeatedly. At no point and time did the picture actually come back to the screen. Truthfully, I was a little more bummed about the loss of my progress in the game at first. The funny thing is how important a TV can become in our everyday lives. Neither Erica nor I watch much broadcast television. Together, we've put in less than 40 hours this year watching programs. While we do watch TV seasons on DVD and movies, even those are usually only once or twice a ...

You can stop in and place an order or call us at 972.644.2000. I almost didn't wake up today for the workout session. When I hit my alarm, I must have hit the off button. Thankfully, I was anticipating the snooze cycle. I waited a bit and then checked the time. I ended up getting to Prestonwood at 7:55 AM. Still early, but I didn't get in my 10 minute stretch and warm-up session. I figured this would hurt me a little in the PFT. To my surprise, however, we did not have the PFT today. Instead, we had a wonderful workout session of pain. I was loo...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Butter Pecan, Strawberry Shortcake, and Angel Food Cake. 50% off the Sale Rack. Choose any items off of the sale rack and get 50% off of the lowest marked price. Green Tip: Many shampoos, including some billing themselves as "natural" or "organic" contain suspect chemicals: parabens, coal tar, sodium laureth sulfate, and many others. Some of these substances are carcinogenic, and though their small doses may have been proven safe, the cumulative drainage is harmful. Look for shampoos that are genuinely free of these ingredients. Some sites to check out for shampoo: www.terressentials.com (no synthetic ingredients or detergents), www.burtsbees.com (a bar of rosemary-mint-scented hair wash is all natural and also eliminates bottle waste), and www.aubrey-organics.com . It will be December until we know all of the election results. There are two senate races that will be decided in the next fe...

We managed to have a restful vacation in the sleepy town of Eureka Springs. Unfortunately, the leaves had already undergone their biggest change of the season, but it was still a wonderful view. The colors played off of each other, and the weather was warm. It was, in fact, a little t...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Mocha Fudge, Strawberry Shortcake, and Angel Food Cake. Shake Day!

Bonus special: For the next three days, you can get any of the political breath mints (Donkey or Elephant Tins) for one dollar off the regular price of $3.49. Just ask for the special blog special. If you've ever found yourself wondering who does the blog while I am away, the answer is that it depends. On short trips such as this, I blog the entries in advance and then Rick edits the yogurt flavors. When I'm gone for longer periods of time, we have a guest blogger which is normally Rick or Stacey. It is an arrangement that works fairly well; however, the limitations are apparent when there is a major news event such as a national election. Oh well! Quiz Day: What Day of the Week Are You ? You Are Tuesday Like this day of the week, you are ruled by Mars. More...

This evening, I'll be sitting with my wife in Eureka Springs at the Balcony Restaurant in the Basin Park Hotel watching the election results roll across the screens. (Don't worry, she knew this was going to be part of the vacation.) Which ever way the results go, this will be a historic evening. It should be very interesting to watch. Hopefully the lines will be merciful for you today if you are voting. I have no doubt that some of th...

One change that I missed involves the yogurt shakes. We have stopped doing the Fruit Blendez, the Chai Tea, and the Green Tea shakes because of cost/popularity concerns. All shakes are also now $4.62 to avoid any confusion in price differential. Tomorrow is the big day. Your chance to cast your ballot for the general elections, bonds, and other civic matters. He...
