"You were hooping with Maddy?! We went to college together :) It is a bummer that she's gone! Hopefully I can meet you at the GMU meetup (I'm always so tired Monday after work, bleck) or maybe I'll get something going in Fairfax/Vienna…"

"Yes, I have felt this way.  I think it is a mixed blessing because it on the one hand can be discouraging, but on the other it can drive us to push our (round plastic) envelopes.   For a few months now, I've been working on several…"

Ever feel unable to express yourself in hooping?

I keep hearing really cool songs and envision myself hooping and dancing to them and feeling happiness and getting into the flow. I have the urge to get up and hoop...but what I envision are things that I am not able to do. I could practice until I am able to do those things, but that just feels like drills and a chore. I also don't like the feeling of getting frustrated by being unable to do the moves I want (though I must face this eventually to progress in my hooping). I could get up and do…See More

UGH MEN! (and first hoops)

Posted on April 17, 2009 at 3:26pm 5 Comments

I just started making my own hoops for my friends and myself. Today my order of tape came and I spent a good amount of time wrestling the mirror tape, way too stretchy thin vinyl tape, and gaffers tape in what looks like a decent spiral (for a first timer). I was overall very pleased with it and thought it was definitely worth the $10 I charged my friend for it. I went outside to test it and asked my boyfriend if he wanted to come and see how it looked. I hooped a bit and it was very pretty in…

Oh wow! HEY! I do remember meeting your mom. So cool that you made your way onto my page! I hope to do some hooping tonight. I'm not entirely sure where. Probably at a BBQ, so no where exciting. What about you?

Phoebe,

We met at the Dupont Circle Yoga/Hoop last month. I heard you on the call with Jocelyn.... did you make up your mind?

I hope all is well with you and that the job search has gotten better? I am in Sterling just up the road from FC. If you are off on Friday's do you wanna get together and do some hooping at Cherry Hill Park in FC?

contact me at hoopinmomma@gmail.com

chat soon,
sonia
