A New Phone in Yogurtland...

So, this will be my first post written on my new smart phone,

So much for less plastic or 'new' things in my life.

But yeah, D went and bought me a new phone (on sale for $40 bucks at Best Buy, an older model but so much better than what I had.)

I figure a smarter smart phone will let me avoid purchasing a tablet for a while, as my laptop is going fine 3 years later, and the phone should do everything a tablet can on a small screen.




Even better, D took me out to Yogurtland for frozen yogurt afterwards!  It was all a late birthday gift, since I didn't tell him what I wanted in a timely fashion before my birthday (which was 2 months ago.)

I must say, that I was impressed with the overall atmosphere of the Yogurtland place.  It was like so many places on the TV shows where chic people sit and enjoy their dominion over specialty treats.  Bright colors, oodles of options, and everything charged by the ounce.  How much more American can a place get?  The yogurt itself was delicious, and came in flavors as benign as Dutch Chocolate and as intense as Cheesecake and Red Velvet.

 The calories per ounce ranged between 25 an ounce for the "No Sugar Added" variations to 40 an ounce for some of the more 'rich' flavors.  Pretty healthy when compared to the toppings, which ranged from 15-25 for fruit and 140-200 for richer and fattier things like nuts and chocolate.  So, if you stuck with the fruit toppings (instead of, say, the Butterfinger bits) you could keep the yogurt treat down to 60-75 calories per ounce.   I enjoyed some chocolate/strawberry/cheesecake mixed frozen yogurt with strawberries and raspberries.  I ended up with about 4 ounces, so a lot more than a snack, but D and I had salads for lunch and neither of us were hungry enough for supper, so I guess it all balances out.  Overall it was a good day!  Look how happy my D is!  Not happy I was taking his picture with my new phone, but happy, overall!
