I want to inform whoever is out there about my new obsession. Hooping. Now, I can't rightly identify as one of those cool hooper chicks yet. I JUST got it in the mail 2 days ago. Groupon offered a sweet little deal for a starter kit through Hoopnotica, and I had been suffering hoop envy for a while, so it was obviously meant to be. I eagerly opened the large rectangular box to find a some-assembly-required travel hoop. I snapped the 6 pieces into place and centered myself within the blue and silver ring. After about 5 minutes during which I picked the hoop up off the floor as many times as I had flung it around my waist I decided it might be worth my time to pop in the beginner's DVD that was also in the box. Bingo. After about 10 minutes of scoffing at the hoopy hippie chicks who were really happy I had joined the revolution, I could keep the ring going for seconds at a time. I was psyched. I played with it another hour, and then had something else to do and stopped playing like the responsible adult I pretend, on occasion, to be.
Then, the next day (which was yesterday), I picked up the hoop, started hooping, and it didn't fall down! Instant expert! I felt like Harry Potter the first time he tried to ride a broom! Except for, you know, the obvious differences between muggle toys and magical ones. Then I had the genius idea to play music while I hooped. Then I had the even more genius idea of playing the entire Cirque Du Soleil album from their show Totem. It was ridiculously fun, and today I am ridiculously sore. Nevertheless, I think I am going to enjoy this new hobby.
Next up... ROLLER SKATES. Because I am making up for lost time =)
