Switching gears a bit: Halloween, OMG. I'm going to a party this weekend. I figured out my costume, which took a 180 from the idea I was planning on when I updated you last week. If I muster up the courage, I may share a snapshot or two next week. :)
What are your plans for the weekend? Will you be dressing up and going out, or staying toasty at home? In any case, I hope you have lots of reasons to smile this weekend. Here are a few bits and pieces from the web that I thought you'd enjoy. xo E.

Google Maps now show D.C. Metro lines. Cool, huh? The quirks mentioned in the link seem to have been fixed.
Here is a smooth, sexy tune from Spanish crooner Pablo Alborán. If you like what you hear, try this one, too (The video gives a glimpse of my old stomping ground in downtown Madrid.). And this one. The sentimental lyrics brought a lump to my throat.
