guess how many?

2-4. birthday time! I got surprised last night with amazing cupcakes made by my friends and I just had to share with you all.

[the big 24. my love: italy. my nickname. interior design. beautiful glass rings. smiling is my favorite. go bucky. my high school. my blog. me gusta cabo san lucas. tmg - our band. another erlynmeyer to add to my collection]

distraction. determination. reward

I can't tell you how bad I wanted to quit studying on Friday and join my neighbors downstairs for some wine BUT instead I put on my noise-deadening headphones and continued on with my flashcards. Then I found the website etsy.com. That kept me occupied for 15 minutes until I realized I was digressing. But it all paid off in the end because I successfully passed my LEED Green Associate exam on Saturday morning. My reward: a little shopping spree at Forever 21. Two hours later, here are some of my favorite finds.
