So, I didn't make it back as soon as I had hoped. But I'm here now. And look! I've been knitting a bit: Progress of Yoga Husband's Lighthouse Gansey sock, a wonderful pattern that I think could also be turned into an interesting sleeve for a sweater. I wish the yarn was lighter so the coolness of the pattern stood out better, but I am still digging it. Photo blurry of course. Should I cut back on the caffeine?? What is the deal?When I visited last, I promised thanks n' links. The thanks go out to the lovely Mel of Purling Plans who tagged me with a You Make My Day blog tag. I was honored of course, as I am to know that anyone at all reads this blog. As I've said before, the connecting with other bloggers is my favorite part of all this. I e-mailed her back to tell her I was touched and simultaneously embarrased because I think this blog has been SO BORING lately and I can't believe it could make a person's day. But Mel strikes me as an authentic optimist who always manages to find the light in things and I am forever self-deprecating, so there you have it. Thanks Mel!

If you are wondering why my posts are so infrequent and you've said to yourself "What gives with this Girl who Eats Soup? So she works and goes to school full-time. Big Deal! I'm busy too and I manage to post on a regular basis." Well, perhaps you are not taking into account the time constraints of my other career as a professional model for Post Surgery Compression Garments. You weren't were you? Why look...here I am just yesterday going into a photo shoot. You can tell by the surroundings how glamorous this lifestyle is.
Let me quickly explain. My boss at the CPA firm is also a partner in another side business that sells the afore mentioned surgical garments. I've modeled for them several times and have supplied them with other models, friends of mine who are also dancers and will actually model items like post-liposuction compression pantyhose without too much self-conciousness. Here you can see me and my friend Sascha sitting on a garden bench, happily discussing our experience with our surgical garments. If you look closely, you can see that we are actually laughing pretty hard. The darling red-headed girl at the top of the page is Rebecca, another dancer friend who was last season's "face" of the compression garment and is featured in most of the catalogue.. This year, they wanted a more "mature" look. You know, like me. Almost haggard...someone who would truly need a chinstrap to hold things together after a face-lift. This is the fitting room. Again, I'm laughing. Not sure about Einstein..does the Theory of Relativity have anything to do with compression?

Post Surgery Compression Modeling is fun for the ENTIRE FAMILY! Turns out Joel isn't just a yoga model. Apparently he's about ready for a face-lift too. Such fun.....Oh shoot! I have to leave. I didn't get to my links!!! Ah well....next post. Thanks for stopping by!
