kedictions!

one of the curtis family traditions for new years involves making predictions for the coming year on multiple levels: personal, family, local, national, and global. I think. to be honest, by that point in the evening I'm usually so stuffed of tacos fabulosos and queso fundido, that everything else that happens is a little blurry. but anyway. we'd pull out and review the predictions we'd made the previous new year's eve (if we could still find them), and make new predictions for the coming year! very fun.

well, the fam didn't get together this year for new year's eve, so we passed this little tradition on to our own little fam - slightly simplified. so here they are - our 2009 kedictions (as Romney called them) recorded on the blog where hopefully we'll remember to look for them come next year!

2009 PREDICTIONS!

Jim predicts:
  • Romney will go potty on the toilet. For real.
  • Lainey will become an expert jump roper. (Lainey responded, "what does that mean?")
  • Marie will start a house co-op. (hahahaha)
  • Jim will register as a Democrat. (hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha. unlikely. but who cares, since I know where his heart really lies...)
Marie predicts:
  • Romney will learn to ride a 2-wheeler bicycle without training wheels.
  • Lainey will make a Spanish-speaking friend in another country (preferably while we're on vacation in another country, right?)
  • Marie will run longer than 5K in a race (the length of the actual race is still flexible...)
  • Jim will become an accredited investor.
Lainey predicts:
  • Romney will go potty all the time and will get to come to Spanish school with me!
  • Lainey will learn how to swim without a life jacket.
  • Marie will learn more Spanish.
  • Jim will get more days off.
Romney predicts:
  • My favorite movie is Kung Fu Panda.
  • My favorite movie is Kung Fu Panda and Mulan.
  • Blue is my favorite color and that's what I mean. Dark blue and light blue.
  • I love my mom and dad.
  • My favorite thing is my mom and dad.
  • My favorite thing is my big sister.
  • My favorite thing is my mom and dad and my big sister.

You're running now too? What is wrong with you people?!? Jim's comment about the house co-op made me laugh, but it did get me thinking about the food co-op which I am very interested in. What do we need to do to get that going?

leslie said...

Great idea, especially looking back at them. Can't wait for the wasatch back!

Your family is so creative - you are always doing something fun and memorable. I do admire you guys. I love all of your predictions, especially Romneys, they totally made me laugh. Seriously, I wish we could do house co-ops - maybe then I would have less clutter.

the funniest thing was that after I made the prediction about Marie starting a house co op someone sent us an email about a condo for sale in a progressive new community....

Such a cute tradition!!! :)

Running...blah!

Spanish...yay!!!

Potty training is the best right?? (I am no Mom, but liked watching kids once they were potty trained)!!!

PS. I think CO-OP's are cool.

I love the idea of predictions. I've decided that, as of this year, I'm not setting resolutions anymore, so maybe predictions is a good filler.
