Hula hooping. Probably not something you've thought about since you were 7. In fact, you were probably a rock star hula hooper when you were 7, but didn't care in the least.
Fast forward a couple decades and try picking up a hula hoop. You may find that not only are you no longer in the rock star category, but you're in the heart of the sucks-so-bad-I-don't-know-why-I'm-even-trying category.
Pan over to E, the hula hooping goddess. Big hula hoops, little hula hoops, around her arm, neck, middle, and knees.....I'm convinced she's in the running for a gold medal. I spent an hour at her house trying to get the technique down, and eventually I was able to keep the thing from hitting the ground every 4 seconds.
I will give you an insider secret though.......the bigger and heavier the hula hoop, the easier it is to do. Sounds backwards, I know, but I'm telling you the truth. E actually MADE me my own hula hoop. She went to the hardware store, bought the stuff, and later that night I was trying to fit the gargantuan hoop in my car. What a good friend.
Now that I have finally joined the ranks of the "cool kids" with my hooping skills, its time to move the furniture out of the way and reclaim rockstar status.
One more warning. Tequila and hula hooping is not advisable to do together. Just in case you were wondering.....
