A New Year: I Can See The Future

In households across the country people will be making their New Year resolutions. This has never been the tradition in my house. My parents always took a piece of paper and wrote down their New Year PREDICTIONS. They would predict what was going to happen in the coming year and then seal it in an envelope. On the following New Year they would open their predictions to see how many came true.

I would like to continue this tradition by asking YOU to write your own New Year’s Predictions. My family always liked to cover a wide range of topics from the political to the mundane. Write 5 predictions (feel free to use the graphic here) and then tag 3 of your friends to write their own predictions. You can also just leave your predictions here in the comments area. I will be the keeper of your predictions and next year we’ll see how we all did.

1.) Britney Spears will challenge Keven Federline for full custody of their children
2.) Gasoline will see $1.15 a gallon before creeping back up to over $2.00 a gallon
3.) Michael Jackson will move back to the United States
4.) Lucy will start school and discover that it isn’t nearly as bad as she anticipated. However, Mommy will discover that the home-schooling part will be far more challenging than she thought.
5.) Max will discover his independence and easily rid himself of his pacifier addiction. (I think this is wishful thinking more than a prediction).

The three people I’m tagging first are Jane from “What About Mom”, Annie from “The Daily Digress” and my old friend Holly from “Migraines and Mortgages” who has actually participated in the original version with real paper.

  1. OK OK — I’ll do it!! I have been lazy but I’ll scratch my head and come up with my vision of the future.

  2. I feel so honoured. I do miss the paper version though.

    1. The recession will start its decline in June 09.
    2. Lindsay will realise she is not really a lesbian.
    3. There will be a major astronomical discovery in 2009.
    4. We will still be doing renovations.
    5. Within one year, our friends Todd and Molly will buy a house, get married and get pregnant. Dave and I will still be happily engaged and still debating whether to have a wedding or elope to Fiji.

  3. Awesome predictions Annie. I’d like to tag on to yours with the prediction that Max will also use the potty even though he too seems absolutely adverse to the idea with similar protests; “No, I don’t use potty. I like diapers”. Great.
