It's a gray, damp, and chilly Saturday. I was really hoping I'd be able to get a start on the lawn (the grass is really starting to get away from me) but it doesn't look like that's going to happen today.

Well the story of the two New England roofers who found a stash of money while digging in a backyard of a home has really gotten away from them. Apparently their story changed with each new appearance on national tv. Then an anonymous call from a woman who told police they were lying started the investigation. Now they've been arrested; too bad they didn't just keep quiet and sell the money.

Another twisty story: The woman in Georgia who was found on Friday and told police and her fiancee that she was kidnapped, had her hair cut, and then was let go was not abducted. She finally confessed that she was nervous about her upcoming nuptials and needed some time away. She was found in New Mexico. I guess it was easier to lie about being kidnapped than just saying to the fiancee, 'I need some time to think.'

Jaw-dropper of the day: Andrea Yates redux? On Wednesday night in Illinois when Tonya Vasilev's husband and a friend found her at home, they also discovered the Vasilev's 9year old son and 3 year old daughter dead. Vasilev had some minor cuts on her hand and the two children had been stabbed more than 200 times. Five years ago the couple's 3 month old daughter died in a fire in the town house where they used to live. Vasilev has been charged with two counts of first degree murder. And a family must pick up the shattered pieces of their lives.

Wherever you are today pray for each other,
