Weekend Links

Good morning! Last weekend was a bit relaxed for Sam and me as we stayed nearby and even "lounged" at Beaver Dam on Sunday with friends hurling ourselves 15 feet in the air with a rope swing only to land flat on our bellies in the water below. This week, however, I started some new training at work which I always find really exciting, I completed my Summer night classes, worked on a couple new business endeavors for Anna Elizabeth Events, and toted around a super obnoxious, purple margarita that Sam bought me at the Ravens first preseason game.

Also, as I mentioned on my Weekend Mixtape post, my girlfriend from high school came into town this week to visit for a few days so, naturally, we're really trying to jam every girly thing we've wanted to do into one, nonstop weekend. Last night we visited my favorite new trendy spot in the city and afterwards came home to do decadent chocolate facials while I forced her into watching the entire first season of Girlfriends Guide to Divorce {ah-mazing, by the way.} On the agenda today is shopping and brunching in Georgetown. And for sure scooping up one of those, super popular cupcakes that everyone raves about. Just to see what all the hoopla is about, you know?

So, what are your big plans for this weekend? Since I so rudely interrupted your peaceful morning with my post, I'll make it up to you. Below, in case you don't have anything sneaky up your sleeve for the weekend ahead, I've rounded up a few downright awesome links from around the web.
