Blowin' Bubbles


This bubble contraption also morphs into an ice cream truck, a ‘free candy’ van, and basically anything else that you want to keep your kids away from. Indiana

I freakin' love the people of walmart website. If you haven't seen it, you need to. I follow it on twitter so I get my daily dose of funny captions & crazy photos. I love it.

Real Murders 'AuRoRa TeaGaRDeN Mysteries' by: Charlaine Harris


PLOT: Lawrenceton, Georgia may be a growing suburb of Atlanta, but it's still a small town at heart. Librarian Aurora "Roe" Teagarden grew up there and knows more than enough about her fellow townfolk, including which ones share her interest in the darker side of human nature.

With those fellow crime buffs, Roe belongs to a club called Real Murders, which meets once a month to analyze famous cases. It's a harmless pastime - until the night she finds a memeber dead, killed in a manner that eerily resembles the crime the club was about to discuss. And as other brutal "copycat" killings follow, Roe will have to uncover the person behind the terrifying game, one that casts all the members of Real Murders, herself included, as prime suspects - or potential victims...

OPINION: I like this book. I think I need to read more and really connect with the character.
