Any of today’s links resonate with you? What’s up for the long weekend?

I am so happy to say that aside from a couple of venue appointments, I don’t have any plans this weekend. I didn’t even make any plans yet for my birthday on Sunday! Normally I’m all about celebrating my birthday on as many days as possible, so I think that’s a definite sign of ~~being old~~ turning 29. Tim and I are also off from work all week next week, with a mini getaway to Maine in the cards, and I’m looking forward to some much-needed time off and R&R.
