Sugarless deLite's Daily Report

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Malt, Maple Nut, New York Cheesecake, and Banana Macadamia Nut. 50% off of all cake slices. (Limit 2 per customer.) Erica and I joined the digital age two nights ago. We picked up our converter box at Target for 10.81 after the government coupon and tax was applied. After plugging it into the TV, we immediately noticed the slightly improved picture quality and several new channels. (Included a nice weather channel set from Channel 5.) Of course, we also lost several channels as well. The new converter box has a lot of nifty little features like program guides and digital sound. However, the squiggles and fuzz of the old analog set-up has been replaced with the garbled pixels of the digital age. I for one prefer slight fuzz to a constantly rearranging pixel set. I have a feeling that, when the masses get converted, there will be a lot of talk about this. I'm not sure that the digital age will be all that it is crack...

We will be closed on New Year's Day. This is the last day for the end of the year specials . The year 2008 has come and gone. I still remember when the 2000's were approaching and everyone was afraid of Y2K. Now, we're getting ready for our last year in the aughts. Before we get there, a look at my 2008: January: First hospital visit. I begin playing Lego Star Wars II: The Original Trilogy which was a Christmas present from my in-laws. (The game rocks!) I put up my TBR li...

We hope that everyone has a safe and healthy holiday with their family and loved ones. Also, the kettle is still accepting donations. I've decided to leave it on the blog until the New Year. If you'd like to make a donation, just click on the red kettle to the right of the entry to start the process. Any amount is appreciated, and all proceeds go directly to the Salvation Army. Quiz Day! I figure that some people might have the day off today and therefore have a little extra time on their hands. With that in mind, here are a few bonus quizzes for the day: What Type of Holiday Cookie Are You ?...

If you need to place an order, go online to www.sugarlessdelite.com or give us a call at 972.644.2000. Quiz Day: What Does Your Home Say About You ? Your Home Says That You Feel Unsettled and Free You come across as somewhat intellectual. You can be quite insightful at times. Your hygiene is passable, but you may be hiding some dirty secrets. You are a very domestic person. You enjoy decorating, cooking, and making things homey. You are not a nurturing person by nature, but you can easily take care of someone you truly love. You don't feel settled in your life yet. You are scrambling to figure things out. You are a very self sufficien...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, French Vanilla, Peanut Butter, Raspberry Cheesecake, and Egg Nog. 50% off the lowest price on all items on the Sale Rack. This is the last sale rack day until next year, so come in and get some great savings. Well, it took about 4 and 1/2 hours yesterday, but I finally got the KIS program installed. Once I found the right program to remove the reminants of McAfee, it was a relatively simple process. Finding the right program was not. After I got the work computer up and going, I went on to the laptop computer and a home computer. I felt like I was working in IT yesterday. The good news is that it is all working well and the program, once installed, is easy to use. All told: 10 hours spent upgrading 3 computers. Quiz Day: Cupcake Test ! What Your Cupcake Says About You At parties, you stand out from the crowd. You're a fairly unusual person, and you can't hide it. You have lots of restraint in your life. You never are vic...

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...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Devil's Food Cake, White Chocolate Mousse, and Orange Vanilla. Sierra deLite Day!

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Banana, Mocha Fudge, Strawberry Shortcake, and Angel Food Cake. Shake Day! All shakes are on sale for $3.69 when you ask for the special (regularly $4.62). 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...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Mocha Fudge, Egg Nog, and Banana Cheesecake. UTD Special! All UTD students and staff can get a free small yogurt today by showing their ID. Upgrade to any other size for the difference. At 6:45 this morning after running back and forth and doing all sorts of arm and leg exercises with a 12 pound bar for the better half of half an hour, I found myself muttering to my class mates in the back of the run that "I never thought I would say it, but I'm ready for some ab exercises." It's as if the instructor heard me. As with the evil jinn of old, he granted my wish. Of course, he did so in a manner that made me wish that I hadn't uttered it. For the next 12 minutes, we focused on the abs with an intense strength. Nevertheless, I've gotten to the point in the workout that, while still tired, I can make it through without feeling like death. I do think, however, it might be the last time that I mak...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Roasted Almond, Boysenberry, and Vanilla Malt. Cheesecake Brownie Special! Come in today and ask for the special to get our wonderful cheesecake brownies for only $3.25 (regularly $4.50). This offer applies to any of our other cheesecake slices as well. Enjoy! Each one has only 2 Net Carbs. This is what baseball fans live for throughout the year, but I have a feeling that, sadly, most of them won't be watching. The Rays and the Phillies match up tonight in Florida for game one of what just might be one of the lowest rated World Series matches of all time. This is most unfortunate. I have to say that I personally find this match-up most intriguing. Two teams that weren't supposed to make it did, and they did so convincingly. The luster might be gone without the perennial powers (Yankees or Boston) or the old time favorites (Cardinals, Cubs, Dodgers), but the chance to see the worst team in baseball ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Mocha, Butter Brickle, Lemon, and Juicy Raspberry. Blogger Special: Tell us the title of today's blog and get one free Chocolite product that is regularly priced at $1.99. Choose from any of the protein bars or chocolate candies. The chocolate options are only one point on Weight Watchers® and are all low-carb. I signed up for a morning boot camp physical fitness program this month. It meets three times a week, but you can add more days if you wish. After the first two meetings, I find myself saying, "What was I thinking?" Waking up at 5:15 AM to go get my butt whipped for an hour is not my idea of fun. Nevertheless, the second day did go better than the first. That doesn't mean that it was easier by any token. The program is non-stop. From the moment we start, we are in constant action. Running, lifting, running, crunching, lifting, running, and so on until after forty minutes you are ready to be done. The on...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Chocolate Raspberry, Cappuccino, Banana Macadamia Nut, and Juicy Raspberry. Cheesecake Brownie Day! All cheesecake brownies are $3.25 today when you ask for the special (regularly $4.50). Quiz Day: What Your Driving Says About You What Your Driving Says About You You are a creative, resourceful person. You can easily entertain yourself, and you make the best of any situation. You are a fairly aware person, but you can't help but make judgment errors from time to time. You'd like to think you're a fair person, but you occasionally think you deserve a special kind of justice. You are a calm, peaceful person. You realize that arguments are only temporary, and you try to give people the benefit of the doubt. You have the utmost respect for authority figures. You feel that rules - and their enforcement - are important. You are somewhat focused, but you are also a bit scatterbrained. Distractions can get you in trouble. Yo...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Maple Nut, Caramel, Marshmallow, and Orange Vanilla. Cone Day! All yogurt cones are only $2.08 today (regularly $2.77) when you ask for the special. Bonus Blogger Special: Get any three bagels out of the freezer for only $9.99. Limited to quantity on hand. I always dislike pledge drives on my favorite radio stations. My wife and I both contribute to Power FM , and I use my personal donation allowance to support KERA . Unlike TV pledge drives on PBS which bring special programs to the station, radio pledge drives just tend to interrupt the shows. With KERA, I used to feel bad since I ignored the request and didn't donate. So, there was a little bit of guilt there. Now, I feel a little annoyed that other people aren't giving quickly enough to end the drive. It's a childish thought, but I really just want to be able to hear my morning show on the drive into work. Nevertheless, I must commend KERA on how they have reform...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Raspberry Cheesecake, and Peach. Cone Day! All cones are only $2.08 today (regularly $2.77) when you ask for the special today. We now have our PB2 back in stock! We've gotten a full load in today so we have plenty for the weekend. GM announced its newest car yesterday at its 100 anniversary celebration. The Chevrolet Volt is going to probably end up being on of the most talked about cars over the next two years. Scheduled for a 2010 production date, it will have time to become a household name. Already, there has been much anticipation about the project. At first look, I think that the car has a nice overall design. Although, the design does appear to follow the recent models from the Japanese automobile industry. It is supposed to be the most areodynamic car that GM has ever designed. It will be interesting to see what people think of the looks since it does not even resemble the c...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, German Chocolate Cake, Banana, Roasted Almond, and Very Berry. Cone Day! Yogurt cones are only $2.08 when you ask for the special (regularly $2.77). Things that you don't expect to wake up to at 6:50 in the morning: "Buddy [the cat] caught a mouse...And, he's eating it." After going to bed later than normal, it was not exactly how I wanted to awake. But, it was not lacking an element of humor. It seems that the cat, which I often, freely and accurately, refer to as dopey and lazy, has a little real cat in him after all. We started to notice him acting weirder than normal about a week and a half ago in the kitchen. He was guarding the door periodically and darting his eyes back and forth to the area underneath the stove and dishwasher. To be completely honest, we both thought it was just the cat being weird. Have I mentioned that he's not the brightest? At no point and time did we actually hear any noise com...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Pistachio, Chocolate Malt, Blueberry Cheesecake, and Banana Cheesecake. Cone Day! All yogurt cones are only $2.08 today (regularly $2.77) when you ask for the cone day special price. We now have all five varieties of the Kitchen Table Baker's Crackers on hand. (Everything, Rosemary, Jalapeno, Sesame, and Aged Parmesan) I'm not really an animal person. I did, however, happen to marry into a cat household which, I'll admit, does make for some interesting moments. Last night, as the wind blew through Dallas, was one of those moments. I know that animals are more sensitive than we are. Wilson, the cat, had already been freaking out because of the high winds, but when we opened up the windows both upstairs and downstairs, we got to enjoy the show of him sitting in the middle of the living room alternatively sniffing in the direction of each window and then looking at us as if we had some control over the situation. Later ...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Butter Brickle, Chocolate Peanut Butter, Boysenberry, and Strawberry Shortcake. Get any three bagels out of the freezer for $9.99 today. Stock up and save today. You can tell that school is back in session. It always gets a little bit slower in the store when the school year starts back up. I guess it is something about getting back in to a new rhythm. After a couple of weeks, things seem to get back to normal around here. Then, we get caught up in all of the holiday preparations. In the meantime, we'll get some side projects done around here while we have some extra time. Quiz Day: What Your Bed Says About You . What Your Bed Says About You Outward appearances are a concern of yours, but not your primary concern. You try to take care of yourself and your home, but it's not an obsession. You try to be an organized person, but you often fall behind. Certain parts of your life tend to fall into chaos. You are very low main...

If you're a BBQ fan, this is a great lunch or dinner option. One of the unfortunate things about having the Olympics halfway across the globe is the issue of time. Apparently, I blogged the results yesterday before the events aired on television. I've been pretty careful not to do this, but these things do happen. In our 24/7 information world, it is harder and harder to be a sports fan that sequesters themselves aside to watch the game later. Quiz Day: What Role Do You Play ? You Are the King You are natural leader. You like to rule, and people like to be ruled by ...

Yesterday, we got in a massive shipment of the Baja Bob drink mixes. We now have every variety on hand. (We got in lots of the Original flavor.) We tried a different type of trivia last night at Buffalo Wild Wings in Plano. The trivia, run by National Trivia Network , is called Buzztime. Each of us competed as individuals with an electronic device that records the answers that are imputed and instantly shows the results on the screen. It's fun to see your name pop up on the screens when you're winning. The nice thing about the trivia is that, while you are competing against everyone else at the location, the location as a whole is competing against the other locations that are participating. T...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Butterscotch, Strawberry Shortcake, New York Cheesecake. Gnu Bar Special: Buy three cases (48 bars) of the Gnu Flavor and Fiber Bars and get a 15 dollar yogurt gift card. It was a bit odd walking out of my front door this morning only to feel raindrops on my face. Granted we are long over due for rain. There is a 40% chance throughout the day, but I don't think that it will translate to much cooler weather. The high should still top out at 98 degrees. Nevertheless, I'm hoping that we get a good rain shower or two during the day. It would be nice to see more than just a sprinkling. Quiz Day: Are You a Narcissist ? You Are Occasionally a Narcissist While you have healthy self esteem, you're really not that full of yourself. Compared to most people, you're quite humble! Though occasionally, you can't help and reflect on how great you are. There's nothing wrong with being proud of yourself - as ...
