I meant to mention this earlier, but if you live in the Indianapolis area you can get a free breakfast item at Chick-fil-A every day this week. Indianapolis is one of the test markets for their new smoothies, yogurt parfaits, breakfast kid’s meal and house roast coffee. The items are also being tested in Austin, Texas and Knoxville, Tennessee. I got to try free samples of the parfait and the smoothies and they were both tasty. I have a weakness for yogurt parfaits in particular, so I hope that one gets launched nationwide.
Here is the schedule for the rest of the week:
Wednesday, April 22 – Chick-fil-A Chicken Biscuit
Thursday, April 23 – New Yogurt Parfait
Friday, April 24 – Chick-fil-A Chick-n-Minis
Chick-fil-a also gave me 10 coupons for a free smoothie and a free parfait. HOWEVER, they expire May 30 and can only be used in Indianapolis, Austin or Knoxville. If you try to redeem these in New York the counter help will give you an odd look and wonder why you tried counterfeiting imaginary coupons. I also [...]

I just got back from my vacation in the mountains of Colorado and haven’t had time to prepare a real blog entry. Instead, I’ll exchange two thousand words for these two pics of the ski lifts and some yummy hot chocolate that my server Andy prettied up just for me.
I also drew winners for both of my recent giveaways. They have been notified and have accepted their prizes. Congrats to Linzmat for winning the Mary Lou’s Weigh Platform and to Becca for winning a copy of The Amazing Adventures of DietGirl.

Congrats to Dyan and Karen in Tally who were the winners of the Starbucks Gold Card giveaway! I am going to hold you to your promise, so Karen’s husband and that guy in line behind Dyan at the unemployment office had better get their 10% off a coffee. Or else…um, you’ll feel really bad for lying, won’t you?
Also, thanks to everyone who left feedback on yesterday’s entry. It was…interesting (just as I predicted). Looks like I drove off some people who probably shouldn’t have been hanging around here anyway. It’s good to shake down the blog every once in a while. It keeps the site minty fresh. And everyone who said “Oh, no, just say whatever you want to! It’s your blog!” after my defensive blogging post might now have a little insight as to why I laughed my ass off after reading that advice.
BTW, I also wanted to thank everyone who has clicked through on my Amazon links. I meant to thank you on Saturday in my “Elsewhere” entry, but I was too tired [...]
