Well, you know how it is in real estate...occasionally your time is not your own. Even though I've known exactly what I wanted to offer for the Monday Melody it just wasn't in the stars to post it this morning. I'd made an appointment with someone I know on Facebook to come tutor me a little on managing my activities a little better. In exchange for her help, I'd promised homemade cookies.
After the whole bathroom scrubbing and Sam's Club excursion yesterday left me rather fatigued, I just couldn't get the cookies done last night. Nooooooo, getting up and baking at 6:30am seemed like a MUCH better idea. Geez. So, the whole time I was getting the dough made and baking the cookies, the Monday melody was rolling around in my head...which is where its been all day!
One of the things my friend and I talked about while we worked through the Facebook challenges is her fascination with the world of hooping. She is a goddess of the hoops! She also teaches a class at the Jackson County Recreation Center a couple of days a week. I was thrilled when she let me borrow one of her hoops so I can practice up a little before the class next week. After all...I have an image to protect ;-D and I was a little concerned about looking like some kind of uncoordinated goofball in front of the other hoopsters.
Her name is Kelly Timco and she also makes hoops. To get the best workout, the hoops are weighted and come with a wrapping of a grippy tape. The one I borrowed is weighted with water. Kelly also makes beautiful hoops and markets them through local retailers. It's been a very long time since I used a hula hoop and it really isn't like riding a bike. After several failed attempts, I finally managed to keep the hoop going for about three minutes. I could feel the muscles that will be affected and will eventually get toned. That's exciting. After three minutes of hooping, it was time for a cookie!
Back to the Monday melody though...this will be a great song to hoop to! I hope you find the lyrics bouncing through your head throughout the week too.
