Skipping is going to be huge in 2011

You know what the world needs more of? Skipping.

Skipping is a fun, carefree, happy-go-lucky kind of activity and shouldn't be just for kids. I'm going to bring it back. Skip with me!

I vividly remember the day my mom taught me how to skip. We were in the process of moving to a new house and I was in her hair while she was trying to get some packing done. She stopped what she was doing, gave me a quick lesson, and then I skipped myself into a frenzy the rest of the afternoon as she packed without interruption.

Now you wouldn't believe me if I told you, but I could skip like the wind blows. (not really) From that day on, if I was going somewhere, I WAS SKIPPING! (also not really) People would watch me skip by and say "That girl sure is a skipping fool!" (nope)

If the whole dummies thing comes to fruition, I'll be so thrilled I'll be skipping all over town.

Dummies are going to be huge in 2011

You know what I want to see more of in 2011? Dummies. Not how-to books, not ventriloquist dummies (Mr. Marbles?) and not dumb people, just dummies.

Dummies being thrown off cliffs, dummies being flailed about like life-size rag dolls in fights, that kind of thing.

It's always hilarious when you see something like that on tv or in movies, but it hardly ever comes up in real life and I think that's a shame.
