Has your week been such a whirlwind of activity that your head is spinning? Has the reality of all of your Christmas shopping hit you dead in the face as the bills started arriving in the mail? Do your children have superpower abilities to push your buttons like no one else in existence? Did your significant other bring you flowers because they knew you were having a lousy day? Did your child just celebrate a birthday that makes you sad and happy all at the same time? Well tell me about it- in letter form! Write the who, what, when, where, and why of your worst or best moment this week. Grab my button from my left sidebar and link up at the bottom. I look forward to your Letters of Intent!

Dear Chick-fil-A,
I heart you. I heart everything about you- including the fact that you are closed on Sundays so that your employees can honor God. I gladly forgo my Chick-fil-A cravings on Sundays when I know that this is the reason behind your locked doors.
I found a new love today on your menu. Your yogurt parfait is full of yummy deliciousness and I have not stopped thinking about it all day. The fresh strawberries, the creamy vanilla yogurt...it is a cup full of ooey gooey goodness.
I bought this treat for the first time this morning and picked the granola as my topping of choice. It was morning and I had a moment of will power against my ultimate addiction... cookies. That's right, I chose granola over cookies. Do you realize how out of the norm this is for me? I love me some cookies and have yet to meet one I can't inhale with a passion.
However, later in the day it was brought to my attention that the granola is more calories and more fat grams than the cookies. What?! Are you kidding me? I went for the healthy option and I could have had the cookies? Oh Chick-fil-A, what have you done to me?
This website tells me, "Topped with granola, the Yogurt Parfait has 240 calories and 5 grams of fat. The cookie crumb option brings the parfait to 200 calories with 4.5 grams of fat."
Chick-fil-A, I still heart you. But you have taught me a valuable lesson today. If in doubt, go for the cookies.
Sincerely,
A woman with a cookie addiction and a new found hatred for granola.

Bwahahahaha. I love that. You know, I've NEVER had Chik-Fil-A. I know, I know. We just don't have them around us, and I guess I've never chosen to go out of my way to try them.
I have my post ready, but I'm posting or linking yet, in case something unbelievable happens yet tonight that I need to add to it.
Buster is sleeping (and snoring) in bed right now and I'm catching up on blog stuff. I'm about to hit the hay though.
I have never been to a Chik-Fil-A. I just love that the cookies are less calories.
Nothing wrong with cookies!
I love that place. Gimme a big chicken egg and cheese bagel and I'm a happy girl- wash it down with lemonade and it's perfect.
Obviously, I'm sucking at dieting.
ooohhh, how dreamie! So good to know that the cookies are a better choice than the granola! Cookies would be my first choice too!
NOMNOMNOM! Now I want cookies. :)
Can't wait to try one. Didn't even know they had those on the menu! doh!
That looks really yummy! I am going to have to try one asap!
I have been eying that parfait for a while... Now I know to get the cookies on top! Thanks for taking the calorie hit for the rest of us. :) Of course, what's 40 more calories when I've just eaten a big ol' piece of fried chicken on a buttered bun? Oh man, now I'm practically salivating for some Chick-Fil-A...
I hope to have a letter later today... if I can make it through the morning and then keep myself awake in the afternoon!
OMG! When did they get parfaits? They have one in our mall and I never see them. I LOVE parfaits... I hate McDonalds but would go there just to get one of their parfaits. Chick-fil-a is what we're having for dinner tonight! Awesome letter.
ALWAYS go for the cookies!!!
(and what are with these people that have never been to Chick-fil-a??!!) ;)
Hahaha...that is a good thing to know! I can't believe that cookies are better for you than granola! I love it!

I love Chick-fil-a too. I have been waiting all week to go eat lunch with my hubby there:) I've never had the parfait. It looks so yummy....but I already knew that most granolas have a lot of fat and sugar...the only ones that are really good for you taste like twigs and sticks:)
Hopping by From Follow Friday!!!
See you around.

I eat there almost every day for lunch. I have to admit I've never tried the parfait but I certainly will be trying it TODAY...LOL
LOVE me some Chick-Fil-A!! Yummy stuff. I've never had the parfait...not sure I knew they even had one!? Next time, go with your gut (literally!) and get the cookies! :)
BTW, what's Follow Friday?
Jen
I was gonna ask. What's a chick-fil-A.
But after reading Brandi's comment I don't want to be known as ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE.
I'll just say: hope you enjoyed your granola!!!! LOL
New follower today from FF!
Always go for the cookies! You can never go wrong with cookies! :)

Actually, I'm here from Rachel and Mr. Daddy's blog! And now, a follower! :)

Always go for what satisfies your cravings. Back in the good old days before fat free and sugar substitutes, people did not worry about their weight. They ate what they wanted when they wanted. There was not the obesity problems and experts always telling about it..... Of course there wasn't TV either....
Too funny!

Hm, I might have to try that even though I feel it's wrong to go into a Chick and not have chicken!

Have a nice weekend.
Love Chick-fil-A But we do not have them up north. I used to get to enjoy it when I lived in Tulsa.
Okay, so laughing at Brandi and Mr. Daddy. We only have a couple Chick-fil-A's in our 200 mile radious, but I LOVE LOVE LOVE them. (I also didn't know they were closed on Sundays. Go them! More people should step up.) You would think you are safe with a yogurt parfait, right? Guess not! LOL Guess it goes to show that cookies always win! Going to link up now! happy Friday!
I am stopping by from Friday Follow. I am now your newest follower. Have a great weekend
When in doubt, go for the cookies! I love that motto. Now, if only I could get a Chick-Fil-a in Oregon. I miss that place.
Serves ya right for trying to eat healthy :)
(Coincidence: the crew just came back from Chik-Fil-A)
I swept my hair to the side like you suggested...much better now.
And the waffle fries at Chick-fil-a are the BEST!
Too funny! It's amazing how many "healthy" things are more unhealthy than the seemingly unhealthy things. Wow that was a confusing sentence lol I love Chick Fil A because their chicken sandwiches are plain!
I am now following from Friday Follow :)
I want to eat those two pics right now......and it's dinner time here.

Hope you are having a wonderful weekend! Tara
hum, I don't think we have ever seen a Chick-fil-A. Sounds good thought..
Darn it,now I'm hungry. I love me some chicken.
I'm just mad that we don't have a Chik-fil-a around us. Totally stinks.
Never had Chickie, never even seen one. But boy do I know their football ads. So in my case it goes to zero calories with no topping and no parfait.

Okay. You twisted my arm. I totally going to try the yogurt this week. I may need a 12-step program to get me off the waffle fries dipped in polynesian sauce. OM!
yummers! I could do that for 250!
