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...

The State Fair of Texas opens its gates to the public today with Big Tex welcoming one and all. The fair runs from September 26th to October 19th. As always, there is a host of events going on during the Fair's run from concerts to auto shows. Of course, there is also just about every fried creation under the sun available at the fair. I don't think that anyone goes there and expects it to have a positive impact on their diet. As the baker here at work says, "The food at the fair makes Jack in the Box look like a health food store." Nevertheless, they do have some tasty creations on the midway. The biggest part of the Fair's run for me is the Texas-OU gam...

Yogurt Flavors: Chocolate Decadence, World Class Vanilla, Coffee Royal, Grasshopper (Mint Flavor), Roasted Almond, and Peach. Blogger Special: Tell us the score of last night's Cowboys game and get up to two free toppings on any size yogurt. (Limit one offer per customer.) In our continuing effort to trim down our possessions and organize our home, Erica did some cleaning around the apartment this last weekend. She did a fantastic job. Admit ably, she is a much better organizer than I am when it comes to paperwork, books, and boxes. I tend to go through things and then, after sorting out what is not needed, put things into general boxes. Since I almost always remember where I put them, this is not usually a problem. My wife, on the other hand, is a one who like to label. This is by far a superior method. I would say that we are now only one trip to Goodwill away from cleaning out must of the unneeded or underused items in the house. The only other things that we need to do is sell ...

Green Tip: Development makes vast tracts of land inhospitable to animal life each year. Make your yard more wildlife-friendly to help offset these losses by planting native species , especially those that produce nectar and edible fruits, seeds, or leaves (they'll also require less watering). You can keep at least a tenth of the area "natural"-lawn free-to reserve space for animals. Install a birdbath or other water source. And be prepared to fence off your vegetable and flower gardens unless you're willing to share them, too. Bonus: If spring weather has landscaping on your mind, think about using an old farm trick to guid...

Just ask for the cone special. Bonus Bagel Special: Come in today and get any two bagels out of the freezer for $6.99. (Limit 6 bagels. Must be purchased in multiples of two.) I learned about a new feature called blogger in draft yesterday. Essentially, this allows for easy changes, such as adding new elements, to the blog even though some of the changes might not be a permanent addition to the blogger family. I took a little bit of time yesterday and played with a few options. Here is what I changed: Added the MLB Scoreboard on the right hand column. (Located between Friends of Sugarless D and Boredom Busters.) While I know that not everyone is a big baseball fan, Rick and I are and this makes checking the scores and standings a breeze. Added This Day in History on the right hand column. (Loca...

But, I didn't have anyone try to prank us at the store. I had a good one planned for my wife; however, she was not feeling well yesterday, so it will have to wait for another day. Today, you get not only a bonus offer on the blog specials, but you also get a bonus quiz. In the effort to be fair and unbiased, I present to you the following: Quiz Day: How Much of a Democrat Are You ? You Are 44% Democrat You aren't a full fledged Democrat yet, but it's likely the party that fits you best. You pr...

Once again, we are running low on PB2 . It seems that the orders are starting to come through on the internet as well as in the store. We should have enough to make it until our next order arrives on Thursday or Friday. But, if you need some PB2, it is a good idea to come and get it early. Two years ago today, we made our first official post to the Sugarless deLite blog. After a couple of weeks of research at the beginning of March, we were ready to start on March 23. This date was our test run and the following was the first post. Since then, the blog has had its template changed three times, has undergone several different formate changes, has grown to include quizzes, ...

If you are in need of some sugar free sweets for your sweetie, come in today or tomorrow and pick out one of our wonderful assorted chocolate hearts. So, Radiohead has decided to give me one of the best birthday presents ever. Just after having a discussion with one of our customers about when they were going to announce their concert tour dates, I went to an article that I had up on the web and saw that they had announced the US dates. They are coming to Houston on my birthday and Dallas the day after. I will happily attend the Dallas show, taking the day off in celebration of my wonderful personal holiday that is Radiohead Concert Day. Here is a full listing for the US tour: RADIOHEAD has confirmed the da...

One of the things that I like about playing games at their house is that they almost always have new games of which I have not heard. The game of the night was Loot . This piratical game is a fun and easy game to pick up. Great for kids or kids at heart, you play to capture merchant ships on the high seas. If you're looking for a game for your kids that you might like playing with them, I recommend picking this one up and putting it in the stocking. Periodically, it strikes me that I am getting older even though I try to fight it. Last...
