Beejay has been into baking scones lately. Lucky me!
The last time he baked yummy cranberry scones around 11pm on Sunday night just because he almost forgot to make them even though he promised me of them. (I didn't make him to bake at 11pm though!) How nice of him!!
It's going to be chocolate chip scones next time. yay! Who knows... Maybe in the future we might open a scone store... and I guess I will be overweight eating them too much. arghhhhh〜

ビージェイが最近スコーン作りにハマっていて、前回はクランベリースコーンを日曜日の夜11時に！私に約束してたの忘れてて悪い気がしたらしい。なんてやさしい〜
次回はチョコチップスコーンだって。やったね。将来、スコーン屋さんなんて開いてたりして。そしたらスコーン食べ過ぎで私でぶってそう… ああぁ〜〜！！
二ヶ月ほど遅れてのポストですが、生まれて初めて参加した地元Lexinton Ad Clubのデザインコンペ（ADDY）で賞をもらいました〜。嬉
提出した３作品ともなんらかの賞をもらい驚き！そのうちの1作品は「審査員賞」を！（写真）
地元のコンペとはいえ、初めて自分の作品を認めてもらえなんかほっとしたかも。普段自信なさすぎだからね・・・
で、先週更に良い知らせが。地域のADDY（ケンタッキー、ウエスト・バージニア、オハイオー）で銀賞を貰ったとか？？

This news is about 2 months late: for the first time ever, my work has received awards at the local-level ADDY, an annual advertising competition, held by the Lexington Ad Club.
All three entries got something (2 Golds and 1 Silver), and one of them got the Judges' Choice Award. Even though it was just a local competition, I was relived to earn some kind of recognition for my design since I'm not so confident.
Then I got better news last week. Supposedly the work for UVa C.A.R.E received the Silver at the district-level ADDY (KY, WV, and OH)!?
wow.
看護士に転職しました。
…自分の血を見ただけで気分が悪くなる私には絶対むりな職業だわ。冗談はおいといて、イラストの土台として看護士のユニフォーム(scrubs)をきての撮影です。UVAの看護士紹介プログラム用のもの。
パジャマみたいに着心地があまりにも良いので、写真取った後もしばらくきてた。面白いことに、scrubs着るだけで誰もが（同僚でさえ）看護士に変身してしまうから不思議。
今年のハローウィーンに使おうかな？

I have become a nurse.
...well, it is definitely not a job for me who gets sick by looking at my own blood. Besides the joke, the photo was taken as a base for an illustration for a project, UVa's nurse referral program.
It was as comfortable as a set of PJs. So I was wearing it for a while even after the photos were taken. It's interesting that anybody in scrubs instantly turns into a nurse, including my co-worker.
Maybe I should use scrubs for this year's Halloween?
Because Saturday, March 3rd was the Girl's/Doll's Day (Hinamatsuri) in Japan, I've cooked chirashizushi (a type of sushi) to celebrate it. It made me a little sad to realize that lately it's been hard to remember these kinds of Japanese seasonal events and holidays. There are few things to remind me of them in the everyday life. I guess this is one of processes of turning into a weird Japanese...
It has been snowing a lot this winter, and I cannot wait for Spring to come around! Although, it's a different story if I would get "snow day" off like school kids...
今冬は雪がかなり降ってるよー。春が待ち遠しい・・・ 学生の頃の様に雪降って会社が休みになるのなら、雪いっぱい降ってもかまわないんだけど〜
