whoa

i'm not gonna lie - i've been a pretty terrible blogger this month. not only are my friends commenting on my lack of posts, but even i am starting to wonder what the hell is wrong with me.

the only thing i can say about my absence is:

* work...is kicking my butt.

* i'm trying to put some plans in place for myself.

* it's impossible to fit everything i want to do in 24 hours.

* sleep is no longer my friend...

* ...which makes me not get anything done.

but, i celebrated my birthday this month! since i didn't capture my very cute birthday outfit, i figured i would at least showcase my awesome gifts:

 this "black book" is my new...

...ipad! i am in loveeeeeeeeeee. my fam pitched in and got it for me. i'm a lucky girl.

amazing jewelry:

 my mom got me the earrings and my sister got me the "d" necklace.

the cuatro (a 10-stringed spanish guitar) from my cousin...he'll be happy i posted this.

so yea, that's what's up.
