Have a Wonderful Memorial Day Weekend

Between a college graduation and the new X-Men movie coming out, my 3-day weekend is filling up pretty quickly.  We also have a trip to the beach planned for Sunday so we can take Cody, our Parson Russell Terrier, out to one of his favorite spots.  What's the chance I can turn this into a 4-day weekend so I can just lounge around for a day???  Enjoy your long weekend and here are a few fun posts from around the web....

I can tell it's the start of May because my allergies have kicked in <ugh!>  So, this weekend I'll be heading over to the coast to get away from the pollen.  I'm staying at the Seascape Resort with some girlfriends and am so excited because it's one of my favorite spots in Northern California. What are you doing this weekend?  Enjoy whatever it is...and here are a few fun links from around the web.
