Happy Memorial Day Weekend Marzipanlings!
What exciting things are you doing with this three day weekend? I am unfortunately working my butt off, it is an extremely busy weekend on Cape Cod – though I am working considerably less than I was last year when I moonlighted as a cab driver and drove 18 hours a day, four days straight! I much prefer relaxing… Ha. Don’t we all? Anywho, luckily the internets have provided us with many, many great reads for your holiday relaxation reading pleasure, and, as always, don’t forget to add a link to your best post of the week in the comments.
OoOOoooh! Also don’t forget to skip back into Marzipan history, and check out the REAL marriage advice series featuring all of your favorite bloggers: Part One, Part Two.
