It feels like we are in a holding pattern with our house projects! The kitchen back splash has some issues that need to be readdressed before we proceed with out tiling. These kinds of things are inevitable, especially considering how quickly we tried to get everything done in preparation for the counter top arrival. Even more especially considering how I was flying solo on most of it due to my husband having surgery right in the middle of it all. Add in a huge project for work, and a couple of colds, and not much has been getting done around here.

But there is an upside to everything! We have all the supplies, including the tile, so as soon as we fix some bumps and unevenness we can get started right away. We have an awesome new faucet for our sink, the Lewiston from Delta. I was able to order two shelves for the laundry room project, which once they arrive, will be in full swing. And, we have at very least been able to move most of the stuff back into the kitchen, and we can even cook and eat at home again.

The adventures in DIY never end, do they?

I am getting better and better at pulse. It has become easier to get the hoop up past “the girls”, and while it doesn’t stay up there for very long, it is staying there longer than before.

The best thing is that through practicing each day, the other tricks that I have learned are becoming easier and more fluid. A major side benefit from daily practice is that some pounds from the holidays are melting off without any diet changes. I find that hooping sculpts certain areas of my body that traditional workouts fail to do. Hooping works the core muscles like crazy! Bonus!

Something fun that I have been doing just to challenge myself is to change the direction of my hoop. Fellow hoopers, have you noticed that you have a certain direction that you always hoop in? Kind of like being right handed, or left handed? I have, and it’s usually the hoop rotating to the left. So, I have been trying to rotate it to the right… with lots of laughter involved, as it is HARD! I can keep it going and such, but not for long, and it feels so strange.

I love this video of Mix and Deanne, playing with little hoops. They look so fabulous!

And I have to thank Christabel for the shout out on her blog. I love the term ResoROOtion! Indeed, that is what Project Hoop is, one big, fun, resoROOtion for 2010!
