So, gag, I’m sorry I made you stare at the family history post for a few days. Wow, is it only Saturday? Is anyone getting that Sunday or Monday vibe? I’m so off on my days right now. Holidays do that to you. Man, it’s been awhile since I actually blogged. Did everyone have a good Thanksgiving?

Mine was pretty good. I had lots of family, and my friend and her hubby over too. I have to admit that one of the highlights was during the Dallas football game. All the men in my house were in complete horror of the halftime show. They couldn’t believe that some country singing American Idol (Carrie Underwood) was singing, and there was a line of dancing cowboys, and half naked men spinning on scarves and gazing into each others eyes. I won’t tell you all the phrases they were hurling at the television. But it did go something along the lines of, “What the f*ck is this?”

Okay, so now, in front of you all…I formally renounce my tradition of Day after Thanksgiving insanity shopping. I will no longer brave the malls, Target or drug stores at the ass crack of dawn. For it is indeed insanity, and absolutely not worth the few bucks you save. Besides, quite a few of the stores offer the deals online now! Although if you try to buy one of the featured items on Amazon at the ‘given time’ the site is frozen. So done with them too.

Oh! And I got another review for Tourist Attraction today (my first book!) It was a GREAT one.

“This is a short story done right! First-time-published Shelli Stevens will definitely have follow-up books! Be sure to look for her name after you read Tourist Attraction. The passion was hot and the love scenes were definitely erotic; however, the explicit sex did not undermine the beauty of this love story… I wholeheartedly recommend this story highly!” 5 hearts, Brenda Talley, The Romance Studio

All right, I think this has become an official blog post. I’ll post more when I have more to say :)

    I think I’ve braved Black Friday only once. And that was about 7 years ago. You’re right, it’s just not worth saving a couple of bucks. Glad you had a great Thanksgiving!

    Man oh man that pic is freaky! What an idiot that guy is…

    Yeah, Black Friday is nuts. I used to work the retail side of it so I remember (it was long ago - when black Friday wasn’t as insane as it is now). You’re right - it’s not worth the $$ you save for all of the craziness.

    Congrats on the great review!!

    Congrats on your review!

    And, *sniff* I miss American football.

    (See, I’ve been over here so long I actually call soccer “football” now and have to clarify which I mean!)

    Congrats on the review! It’s been forever since I got to visit. But hopefully I’ll be stopping by more often. We went shopping, but we waited until the craziness had died down a little and we weren’t hunting for bargains, so that helped reduce the stress.

    That photo looks very painful!!

    Sounds like you had a great Thanksgiving. I did almost all of my holiday shopping online Friday. It feels great to be mostly done and I didn’t even have to step foot into a store :)

    Yay, Shelli! SO glad you’ve seen the light! I don’t see the point of fighting with thousans of crazy people just to save a few bucks. I’ll pay more for my sanity.
