Oh all right. I'll stop with the Chipper stuff. It's Crabby's fault, anyway. If she's going to devote extra effort to being both funny and anti-cheerful, then dang it, what's a girl to do?
Did you leap last night? Turns out that 2008 was a leap year in more ways than one. Not only did we have a leap day, we had a leap second. Whoever keeps track of these things added on an additional second to keep clocks running accurately. Damn, but I'm glad that's not my job. Have enough trouble making sure the batteries are up-to-date in the smoke alarms.
Ever since Carnac the Magnificent retired, there's been a dearth of really
So I've decided to fill in until one comes along. Here are the predictions of Merry the Magnificent (TM) for 2009:

I predict that...
Bossy, of iambossy.com fame, will start up a blog about the daily life of a cow, titled iambessie.com.
Fit Bottomed Girls will slip up and include some upper body exercises on their blog, causing an outcry and accusations of misrepresentation. Due to pressure from nasty lawyers, they will be forced to change the blog name to Fit All Over Girls.
Due to the effects of inflation, 101 Exercises will end up renaming her blog 1,001 Exercises.
Dr. J will overdo the Special K while watching the L Word and as a result will, by the Alphabetical Law of Inevitability, turn into the new M.
Mizfit will branch out into her own line of fun play equipment for children. Her enterprise will become a fabulous success, Toys 'R Us will devote a whole section to her goods, and people will flock to the aisle of Mizfit Toys.
Crabby will discover a brand of cupcakes that helps heal cranky knees, so she can run more.
Merry will get back into long-distance bicycling, so she can drive less.
If any of these things happen, please remember you read it here first.
Also, if anyone reading this happens to possess psychic powers, could you add a few more predictions in the comments? I'd love to find out more about what's going to happen this year.
I predict a healthier me in 2009. I feel her rising up against this storm.

April? My psychic powers see you as becoming extremely fit and svelte, winning the lottery, and buying your own tropical island.

Oh you guys made me giggle so hard!! My favorite was the Dr. J one. Although the MizFit punchline had me laughing out loud too.
