Shelli Stevens

Random fact Wednesday

The dot over the letter “i” is called a tittle.

What I’m listening to right now: Coldplay, Speed of Sound

Well double good news. First, yesterday I weighed myself for the first time since mid-December. I did not want to know the numbers during the holidays–amidst sweets and treats.

Anyway, I’m DOWN one pound. I didn’t gain any weight over Christmas! So that’s 12lbs down total since September. Slowly, but surely. I worked out again last night and am a little sore. I swear I love having an MP3 player though. Beyonce kicks off my playlist (since my player only goes alphabetically–wtf?!) and she just gets me going.

The second piece of good news is that Dangerous Grounds hit #7 on the best seller list yesterday! It changes daily, sometimes hourly maybe? I don’t know, but I’m always totally excited when it slips lower on the list. And the first review for it just rolled in! (So maybe three pieces of good news!)

“Shelli has done it again. The suspense, mystery and holy smokes—the heat between Gabe and Madison would cause spontaneous combustion without flicking an eyelash… Dangerous Grounds has become the latest keeper in Shelli’s works as far as I’m concerned.” 5 flags, Melisa, Euro Reviews

And in case you haven’t noticed, I’m kind of *cough* getting into this smiley thing. Sorry, they’re addictive.
<---Notice how I emphasized my smiley addiction with another smiley.

Happy Wednesday!

So I kind of like that thing where you say what’s playing on your MP3 player or radio or what not. So I’m adding that to my blog.

What I’m listening to right now: Fergie, Big Girls Don’t Cry (I just heard this song the other day and loved it!)

All right, well it’s flashback Tuesday and thus I bring you….

Garbage Pail Kids! Do you remember these? I loved them. Would buy them all and trade with my friends. Because I was cool like that.

And as all fabulous trends from the 80’s, I think these are making a return. Have you seen them in the stores?

So I worked out last night with my friend, the army girl, and I’m telling you I’m going to be so sore later. Not only did I go on a 1/2 hour brisk walk in the morning, I did a 1/2 hour of fast elliptical (it’s amazing what having a workout play list to listen to can do!), and then 20 minutes of lower body exercises. Ouch. Ouch.

And Dangerous Grounds still seems to be doing good at Samhain, so I’m a happy girl. And I’m writing like a made fool to finish Taken (the third book in the Seattle Steam series!).

So everyone have a happy Tuesday!
