Sorry for no update

I am working every night this week and have been painting the house. I will share colors when I get a chance to update this weekend.

*waves* to everyone!

Sad news in vols land

Usually, I am a person that watches the news of all the doom and gloom around us but put it aside and move on with whatever I have to do…until now. A story broke last weekend here in Knoxville that has me just beside myself and I don’t know why. I want to share the story with the hopes that putting into words will help me get it out of my system.

Late last Saturday (midnight or a little after) night a local girl (early 20s) called her mother to tell say that her (the girl) and her boyfriend was on their way to a friends house to watch movies. By mid-afternoon, the business where the girl works called her mother to say that the girl hadn’t shown up for work and didn’t call in. The mother immediately started calling her daughter’s cell phone to no avail.

Later that afternoon the boyfriend was found on the other side of town (from where they were suppose to be the previous night) shot to death, wrapped in a blanket and set afire! A search was set into motion for the girl and the person/persons that killed the young boy. A couple of hours later the girl’s vehicle was found two blocks from the young man’s body…but no sign of the girl.

Monday went by with no sign of the girl but late that afternoon the police released photos of two brothers of interest. The police gave no reason as to why or how they came to that conclusion but they got a search warrant for the house the brothers lived.

Early Tuesday morning the police searched the home and found the girl’s body stuffed in a trash can out back of the house. The police said the girl was alive a couple of days and was repeatedly raped. They didn’t release how she was murdered.

Four men have been arrested for car jacking but no charges for the rapes and murders but I can’t seem to get this story out of my mind. The young couple was so cute and had a great life ahead of them before these animals decided to take their fate into their hands.

I am at a loss!

I can't believe it is 2007!

I guess time flies when you do and don’t have fun! I can’t believe we are already into the second week of the year. I wasn’t off work much this holiday season as I worked more than I have in years. I am sort of in the need of a break but I continue!

I am in the process of painting my house…inside AND out! The exterior of my house is wood and hasn’t been painted in like 10 years. It is showing wear and tear in places but some of the wood behind the gutters is beginning to rot and in need of repair…while I am at it…I am going to do it right!

The interior of my house was painted white when I bought my house and I have slowly added color through the years but I haven’t painted the entire house at one time. I have picked out all the colors and will be updating showing you all my choices.

I taped Apprentice and watched most of Grease…I didn’t like Grease. I will give it a couple more episodes to improve but I was really disappointed. However, I watched Brothers and Sisters and it has quickly become my favorite show on TV.

Have you seen any good TV lately?
