pink saturday-hula hoop video with nannykim

On Saturday it will be Pink Saturday at http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com/
. I thought I would do something crazy and special for the event! I happened to be at Big Lots and saw a HULA HOOP! I haven't done this except for may be once since the 50' or 60's. I figured this would be fun and it would be great exercise. So here is a 32 second video of my first attempts---wearing pink of course!!! (Ps. it is my 33 wedding anniversary on Friday June 18 so what better thing to do than to revert to childhood?????? See my post below for how we met!) After this video you will wonder why he married me!



Actually....he needed someone like me--someone to drive him crazy and to make him laugh. I do it without trying ;-)

After this video I just may move the furniture! Happy pink sat!

Oh and here is a funny song with hula hooping! It takes a few seconds to start!



Ps. I challenge those of you who are brave enough to go do thou likewise and let me know if you post a video!

    THIS POST WAS MARVELOUS...YOU TRULY ARE ONE FUN LADY AND I THINK YOU HULA HOOP VERY WELL. I LAUGHED UNTIL I CRIED WHEN YOUR SWEET KITTY TOOK OFF OUT OF THE ROOM. THOSE WHO HAVE CATS UNDERSTAND ABOUT OUR CATS NOT WANTING TO HULA HOOP...LOL
    THIS POST BROUGHT BACK SUCH SWEET MEMORIES OF MY DAUGHTER AMY. SHE WAS ONCE IN A HULA HOOP CONTEST WITH HER COUSIN TJ AND WE FIXED HER A SANDWICH TO EAT WHILE SHE HULA HOOPED OVER TWO HOURS...SHE WON HANDS DOWN...THAT GIRL LOVED TO HULA HOOP.
    THANK YOU FOR HELPING ME REMEMBER A HYSTERICAL TIME ABOUT HER. GOD IS SO VERY GOOD US. THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS.
    I LOVE YOUR BLOG.
    HAPPY ANNIVERSARY
    HAPPY FATHERS DAY WEEK END.

  28. Happy Anniversary!! I've tried to do the hoola-hoop a few times whenever one of my kids or someone would have one but I've been very unsuccessful. Perhaps I should try again! Happy pink week and Happy Father's Day to your guys!

  32. Hello Miss Nannykim! :-)

    Your pink post made me smile today. You are one brave lady LOL I think I've tried hula hoop once when during elementary years and that was it. I never got the hang of it :-)

    Thanks for coming by my blog and leaving me a beautiful message. I wasn't able to post my pink post that day (comp. probs). So I may be a day late, still determined to do the pink post LOL

    Belated Happy Pink Saturday! And Happy Anniversary too! After all these years you still know how to have fun. :-)

    Mizpah,

  34. Memories and a perfect post for Pink Saturday. I, alas, am all to familiar with the hula hoop and poodle skirts and saddle shoes :-). I, my dear, am a walking tribute to the 50's. Have a great day. Blessings...Mary

  41. You hula good!!!!! I can't make it go round two times. That is why you are so slim.

    ReplyDelete
  42. WE are kindred spirits!!! I recently bought a Hula Hoop for me and a smaller one for my gr. girl (4). Hers is still too big for her...but mine is the right size. I keep it leaning against the wall in the hall and every so often I crank it up! I'm not nearly as good as you...but I'm working on it.:) Something else that's really a challenge for me is jumping rope! I was never great at it as a kid....but my aerobics teacher (who's only in her early 30s) throws in a jump rope challenge every so often. Last Fri. I was FINALLY able to jump fast (not slow hopping or one foot at a time)....but really quickly jump....without tangling up in the rope...we went from 30 sec. to 45 sec to one minute!! I was thrilled! Of course, my heart was beating really, really fast when I finished the min. jump, but I was so proud of myself for finally getting the hang of it....at the tender age of almost 63! :) SO now that I have you as a Hula Hoop partner...maybe those former childhood skills will return!

    Thanks for your fun, fun Pink Sat. Post!! dana
