Hoop it Forward

It's a real club. I'm not joking, and their hula hoop was the first one I've ever been able to keep up (twss). What am I talking about? Glad you asked.

I had a lovely weekend - I got a killer haircut from Tauna at Moxie. The last person who was doing my hair abruptly left the salon I was going to with no forwarding information, and so about 2 1/2 or 3 months ago I was left without a stylist. I went to another guy at that same salon, but it wasn't the same, and just as I was in real need of a cut he went on vacation leaving me to try someone new yet again. And let me tell you I am so glad I did. I wanted to go short for summer, which I am hesitant to do after a couple of really short cuts, and after explaining that, and what I wanted I walked out of there happier than I've walked out of the salon in a really, really, really long time. Plus, I can walk there from home, so at this point I'm 97% sure that when I need to another appointment I'm so calling.

After that I putzed for a while. Had the longest most detailed house tour that I've ever endured, and Sunday afternoon went with Sheralee to Jazz in the Park. I must say that I can not believe I haven't been going to these events since I moved to Denver. They are THE perfect way to spend a summer Sunday afternoon/evening and I can not wait to spend more Sundays in the park. (Am I getting to the point of this story...?) As we were walking home we walked past a group of people who were hula hooping (is that a word?). We commented to each other that we've never been able to hula and one of the guys overheard us and let us try his hoop. After we rocked it (I mean tried it) he said - hey you can have this if you want it. Strange. So we asked a few more questions and it turns out he's in a group called Hoop it Forward - they go to parks, create hula hoops and give them away. I may just join this group because it is quirky and sounds like a random way to meet people. And now that Sheralee has a hula hoop, I'm so practicing every day.
