At least I amuse the girls at Hula Class.

This Wednesday we were supposed to start learning "He Mele No Lilo." It's the hula created for the Disney movie Lilo and Stitch which is the reason I started taking Hula in the first place. I was totally hyper and excited when I got to class. When she got there, one of my classmates who went to Japan to visit her family this Christmas gave me a Japanese Lilo and Stitch calendar that she picked up while in Japan - my obsession is fairly well known in class. So we impatiently waited for the teacher to get there and we talked about various things - mostly how excited I was, and how I hoped we'd really finally be learning the Lilo Hula, and that if we wern't I was going to be crushed.

The teacher arrived, and finally we started learning it! I couldn't stop bouncing up and down in between sections. Then some of the girls came in early from the advanced class, and watched. Everyone was laughing at me and my enthusiasm, which I have to admit wasn't very well contained. The advanced class keeps asking me when I'm moving up (they are crazy!) and I keep saying never. Seriously, the advanced class so full I asked where I'd end up, in the closet? They also wanted to learn the "He Mele No Lilo." Although the teacher mentioned they'd be learning the Kahiko it's based on - I think they'd prefer the Auauna. Actually so far it's an interesting mix of Auana and Kahiko styles. I'm enjoying it a great deal so far. I made some jokes about coming to class in a Stitch costume, complete with grass skirt previously and after my hyper hijinks in class I may now have to actually do it...there's been some pressure.

Everyone wants to see it, but the bad news, is I can't find an adult costume to rent, and by the time I got done sewing one I'd probably be on my second year of hula. Ironically H who got me the calender could theoretically pose as Lilo, and I could do Stitch if I ever got a costume. Maybe if we ever have another performance - what am I thinking !?!?!?!?!

Anyway, I've finally got what I wanted out of Hula, the Lilo Hula.

Whoo-hoo!!!!!!!

Note of Incredibleness

The kitchen is done.

It is totally unpacked, and all of the regular things are put away.

OK there are somethings still missing (rest of the coffee mugs, the deep fryer) and we haven't integrated all of the pans and such from dthon's Mom's stuff. But it will fit, somehow once we find them....

Kitchen and TV Room completely done.

Now to get the Bathrooms sorted and the linens, finish off the Pool Room, Spare Bedroom, Dinning Room, Master Bedroom, Craft Room and the Living room and we're done unpacking all the rooms that are finished. Then we can hang art and then start remodels on the Laundry Room and The Gift Room.

Oh, and don't forget the hellhole of the Garage....

OK I don't feel so special anymore....

I'm for bed.
