From Function to Fitness :: Getting Your Groove Back

I just put my two oldest daughters on the plane- one to DC and the other to Boston for the long weekend. As I drove back home I decided to stop and visit my dear friend at her fabulous hot dog stand. I just wanted something to do besides go home and I figured Henrietta could use the fresh air too- not to mention, Alisa's gorgeous smile is so wonderful to see. With Henrietta in tow in her fabulous pink tutu I limped along up to the weenie hut. Standing there talking- and realizing that I was what I like to call "air pumping" or swaying my hips as if I had an imaginary hula hoop on me, I realized that I have not hooped in three days (!!!) The last time I went this long was, well, when I was banned from hooping during the 12th week of pregnancy due to "the scare"- which was what, over 2 years ago? Well, I have my first class tonight and I am so nervous because I cannot physically do any move aside from waist hoop! Yes, yesterday I got stuck for about 20 minutes trying to get out of my own car (!!!) Anyway, once it dawned on me that my oldest daughter Fiona was not going to be around for class tonight, I quickly called a good hooper friend of mine to come be my demonstrator. Thankfully she said yes- but I have no idea how class will unfold. Even 9 mos pregnant I still held AND hooped all of my classes! <sigh>

I did receive my first photos from the 3-day! I am so excited because I could not carry the camera with me and have been waiting anxiously for photos! I began the update on Part 2 and hope to have it up by the weekend, so check back to find out exactly why yesterday I spent 20 minutes trying to get out of my car... stuck... in the rain... yelling to my kids in the house... "I NEED a stick! I NEED a stick!"
