BeSparkly

I adapted the BeSparkly version 1.0 site a little to make it easier to navigate.  I made the Sparkle Board the home page and also added Links and Market pages - which are coming soon!

I made a logo, which is at the top of the BeSparkly banner at besparkly.com, but I’m not sure if I’m sold on it yet.  Yay or nay?

My post-op visit declares me to have 20/20 vision ~ now that’s something sparkly to celebrate!!! (^.^)

Wahoo!!  My Lasik went great and just six hours later I can already see!  Of course, I have to wear these snazzy sunglasses to keep the light from bugging my eyes right now.  How cool do I look?  

いま、コンタクトレンズと眼鏡が要りません ~ よくみられます.  (^^)/

♪~ I wear my sunglasses at night ~♪

I think they will bloom soon!  Yay!

Day 29

On another note, I am getting Lasik eye surgery tomorrow so I don’t have to wear contacts anymore.  Wish me luck! 

明日、レーザーを使って視力を矯正します.　恐い!!    (((@_@)))

I added pictures of Washington D.C. to the BeSparkly Gallery.  Check it out here~

Here is a beautiful picture from inside the American Indian Museum ~

Happy Earth Day!  アースデー!

This week I am in the process of changing out my old lightbulbs for the energy saving ones and I’m also recycling all my old computers (I have like 4!) and batteries. 

I have also recently learned that it is good to unplug your cell phone charger when you aren’t charging your phone because it still draws electricity (though only a small amount).  If we all unplugged our chargers, it would really help!  And any appliances not in use too.

You can recycle cell phones and rechargable batteries at Circuit City and I think at Best Buy too.  It’s REALLY easy.  They are usually by the customer service desk, near the front entrance.

This is Kaidou Kaoru, an anime character from Prince of Tennis, that I have pinned to my bag.  He’s grumpy and serious on the outside, but sensitive and caring on the inside.   Awwww…

I may be an adult, but little things like this still bring me joy.  (^-^)

As you can see, I had to separate the flowers because there were so many that sprouted.   I can’t wait to plant some outside in a few weeks! 

Day 22

I’m not a pet person, but I love plants.  This one (see below) is growing super tall so I had to put some sticks in it to keep it from bending over.  These are the two plants in my office.  Most of my plants are in the dining room, however, because there are more windows in there.

Tending to my plants makes me feel sparkly~  (^-^)
植物が大好きです~  ☆彡

BeSparkly is very sad today.  The tragic shooting at Virginia Tech happened just 200 miles from here.  Our hearts go out to the families of students who lost their lives, the injured students, and all those affected. 

今日、32人はアメリカの大学で殺されました.
非常に悲しいです.

After some brainstorming with my Director of ATS (my friend Tink), it’s been decided to change the layout of BeSparkly.  This process should take a week or two, so if you notice wonky things happening on the site, it’s probably me tinkering away at it in the background.

Also, I’ve had a lot of questions about the blog versus the website.  So, I thought I would explain!  Click on the link to read more.

Today was all about nature.  I went to the garden center, planted some flowers and a new bush.  The weather was perfect gardening weather (though I’m hardly a gardener). 

Day 15

It was 72 degrees with a brilliant blue sky and puffy little clouds. It will probably rain tonight ~ which will be great for my new shubbery!
