A storm system rolled in through Knoxville yesterday, and according to KnoxNews.com, we’ve already received 3.29 inches of rain from it! The flooding is unbelievable, with dozens of traffic accidents reported around town. Blount County Schools have canceled classes for tomorrow. No word yet on Knox and surrounding counties. When I got home from work [...]
Cursing Red Bull
As you know, I participated in Blogathon this year. That’s right. I blogged for 24 straight hours – from 9 AM yesterday till 9 AM today! It sure wasn’t easy. Mike and I drank three Red Bulls each just to keep ourselves churning out posts on BlogsWeLuv. And churn them out we did! We were [...]
U.S. Reclaims Nathan’s Mustard Belt
Loving hot dogs as I do, there’s no way I could miss the 92nd Annual Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest. It was held today in Coney Island, and thanks to ESPN, I was able to view it from the comfort of my very own living room. You may have heard that Japan’s Takeru Kobayashi, who [...]
Heartbreaking Story
As I was getting my daily dose of news on foxnews.com today, I came across this article. It is truly fascinating, and just as equally heartbreaking.

Apparently he and Imette got into a heated argument after he threw her out of the bar. Not only that, but his [...]
MA Wal-Marts Ordered to Stock Morning-After Pill
On Tuesday, the Massachusetts pharmacy board ordered Wal-Mart to stock emergency contraception pills at all its stores in Massachusetts. Massachusetts is the second state to require the world’s largest retailer to carry the morning-after pill. The unanimous decision by the pharmacy board came two weeks after three women, backed by abortion rights groups, sued Wal-Mart [...]
Evil Lies in the Hearts of Man
I decided to check out FoxNews.com last night before going to bed. The latest big story was about the BTK Killer. Apparently, he has been giving detailed accounts of how he killed his victims. This got me really scared. After all, I’m a single woman, living alone. I have my two dogs, but still – [...]
Wake Up Call
I just read a news article entitled “More Women Over 40 Giving Birth These Days.” What a wake up call! I am 32 years old and childless. Will I soon be one of the statistics in this report? Or will I have children at all? According to the CDC, 100,000 women over the age of [...]
