the denial twist

Okay, wow. A lot has gone on in my 36 hour absence from updating you my fellow bloggies. So first of all, you may all now address me as, Chelsea Eckelkamp, OTR. That's right, OTR. Just waiting on my /L for the state of GA to recognize my awesome-OT-ness. Chelsea Eckelkamp, OTR/L. That's right, OTR/L. My /L for the state of GA to recognize my awesome-OT-ness came in this afternoon!! SO now it's double the fun at work, a real patient schedule, business cards, and double the pay! Got the OTR great news yesterday around 11am, had a great lunch with the co-workers, then all of a sudden, our day just became a cacophony of chaos. I mean, some days at work are busy and hectic, but yesterday afternoon pretty much takes the cake ... THE WHOOOLLLE CAKE. But it's over, and the office survived. Although, I'm not sure how good of an impression the three exhausted (::understatement::) therapists made at the first GHUESIG meeting. -- Yes, I now belong to a group that acronymed themselves, GHUESIG. But thankfully there were free chips, salsa, and vodka/tonics to get me through the social networking ... rough life!

Secondly, I'm now a day behind on posting my JOY OF LOVE photos. 

So, day 3: Lesson in cropping

03 then and now

How long have you known your loved one?  What has changed since you first met him or her?  Try to capture this change in photos. it would be even cooler if you can show a photo from the time you first met him and put it side by side with a now photo. Or have your loved one hold the “Then” photo and snap the camera!

From the day I met him at 6wks old to today at 16 months old, Lex has gone from sprawling out at the size of my foot to the size of my entire torso

Day4: Lesson in metering

04 what they wear

Photograph your loved one’s clothes (either on him or in the closet).  This can be when they are dressed up or dressed down.

Lex is badass with his skull & crossbones

And last, but certainly not least ... it's a sad week for indie/rock music fans. The White Stripes are no more. Jack & Meg White have officially announced they are done collaborating on music. :(  So, to end this blog posting, I leave you with my favorite bridge from my favorite White Stripes song, The Denial Twist.

If you think that a kiss is all in the lips
C'mon, you got it all wrong, man
And if you think that a dance is all in the hips
Oh well, then do the twist
If you think holding hands is all in the fingers
Grab hold of the soul where the memory lingers and
Make sure to never do it with a singer
Cause he'll tell everyone in the world

What he was thinking about the girl
Yeah, what he's thinking about the girl, oh
