I struggled with what to post today as, even though we dont celebrate Christmas, it does feel like a day of “meaning” for me none the less.
I was headed down the MizFit’s Muzings on Faith path until I realized I have enough serious in my life right now and merely needed some laughs.
And the Blogger Virtual Talent Show was born (if by “born” you mean I decided I was doing it & tweeted the aforementioned decision—-which I d0).
AND, since my posts are all set to run at 2a-ish central time, all of ya’ll still have time to join me.
Take a pic of yer little known skill.
Write about the uber-talent we, your faithful readers, have no clue you possess.
Shoot a ridonkulous video (see below) which if nothing else makes YOU GIGGLE & lessens your stress-load.
Quite frankly even when I made the suggestion I had nary a skill/talent in mind.
I possess one “really? you do that? I didnt think you the type!” talent and, since Ive already serenaded you with my mad clarinet playing skillz, the only talent which remained is captured below.
Please to enjoy.

And yeah.
The Sidekick had to get into the act as well.
Please to enjoy her talent, too.

Oh, but before I let ye scamper off & take on your day, I have a little tidbit to share.
A heads-up about some upcoming MizFit’citement you definitely will not wanna miss (she types mired in some bigass blogger pridefulness).
New Years Day.
Here.
Me & another healthy living expert.
The early birds getteth the proverbial gummie worm.
Cue music fraught with suspense.
Edited to say if you shot a video and wanna share it please to upload HERE (you can also check out any uploaded videos at that link as well).

December 24, 2009 at 3:56 amlmao, I love it! I have been so long without internet access it feels good to be back checking in. Thanks so much!
Sue says
December 24, 2009 at 4:55 amI think this was a great idea and I am just LOVING it. And you, MizFit – YOU! A wonderful gift to me this year.
BTW, my own Tornado? Well, yesterday she played with knives AND took my curling iron out of the closet, plugged it in the wall, set it down, and I came out to find it scorching the carpet. She, too, is talented. But I didn’t capture it on video for obvious reasons – those reasons being my coming completely unglued.
Joanna Sutter says
December 24, 2009 at 5:02 amYou really are gifted and what a gift you’ve been in my life this year! Thanks for sharing your mad skills with us!
I look forward to finding out what’s in store for us…I mean YOU in January!
Connie says
December 24, 2009 at 5:03 amYOU ROCK.
Seriously.
Helen says
December 24, 2009 at 5:13 amI didn’t do a video yet but still plan to!
I can’t believe how many people joined in your craziness, Miz.
Oh, and I’ve marked my calendar for NYDay 🙂
Cynthia (It All Changes) says
December 24, 2009 at 5:15 amI love your talent. I’m super jealous at yoga when the instructor just shows off prior to class. And the Tornado’s talent is awesome. How did she not fall over.
Check out my cool Simpson skills over at my blog 🙂
Nettie says
December 24, 2009 at 5:27 amI am amazed at your talent, Woman!!!!
How long did it take you to be able to do this?
Thanks for organizing this too. I liked seeing people’s posts and videos and loved laughing at all the silly tweets back and forth between people.
Happy holidays
Nettie
Sagan says
December 24, 2009 at 6:50 amThat is so cool!! I want to try your talent. But I think I need some bigger mats first. And cushier ones. I’m thinking toppling over onto hardwood floors the first 86 times might not be such a good idea.
jen (@bwJen) says
December 24, 2009 at 6:57 amCarla, great talent show!! Next year I am going to be on video – for sure!
But, check out my post – http://www.jeninreallife.com/2009/12/23/a-talent-worthy-of-a-bookworm/ ~~ even a sill bookworm has talent! HA!
Love to you & your family EVERY day!
Aubry says
December 24, 2009 at 6:59 amDamn there are lots of videos there!!
Now I want to see you do the Tornados talent and she do yours 😉
Jody - Fit at 52 says
December 24, 2009 at 7:06 amAmazing talent you got there Miz!!!! Loved Tornado too! You guys are very very talented! 🙂
I have a post over at my site too!
OK, New Years.. I am very curious now! Don’t forget the early bird is a bit later on the West coast! 🙂
Have a wonderful one!
the Bag Lady says
December 24, 2009 at 7:22 amI love all the videos! And wish I had a hidden talent to share….. sigh.
Thanks for the entertainment, Carla!
Camevil says
December 24, 2009 at 7:35 amYou and Tornado are born naturals!
Just submitted a video that is hardly appropriate during this cheery season, but it’s what I do. 🙂
Marianne says
December 24, 2009 at 7:46 amIs T running around a little red Christmas tree??
Today’s talent? Cleaning up barf! Yay! I’m so lucky.
Quix says
December 24, 2009 at 8:30 amPosting mine in just a second (it’s a pic not a video so I can’t upload it, right?). Thanks again for the idea, what fun!
Geosomin says
December 24, 2009 at 8:35 amIf I can find the cord for my camera, I will post a pic of my newest talent – balancing my bellydance sword on my head. If not, you may just have to imagine the coolness. BWAHA!
Happy Holiday Mizfit 🙂
the Bag Lady says
December 24, 2009 at 9:03 amOkay – I posted a video on my blog of my non-talent.
(because I am too embarrassed to add it to the other videos….)
🙂
South Beach Steve says
December 24, 2009 at 9:05 amThat is certainly a talent, as I would fall flat on my face if I did that. 🙂
Leah J. Utas says
December 24, 2009 at 9:11 amNow that’s a talent.
I got nothin’.
POD says
December 24, 2009 at 9:35 amThis was/is a great idea, Miz. A way without food to bring everyone together. I just hope I have enough time to look at all the wondrous talent though there are so many out there it may take days. Maybe we could skip Christmas and just read blogs and view videos and commend each other.
Love to you and yours during this ‘holy day’ season. Come to California and I will cook you a meal.
Hilary says
December 24, 2009 at 9:36 amOh your Tornado is being a tornado! Or a circular table duster. Too cute. Off to see the others. 🙂
Linda says
December 24, 2009 at 9:38 amAre you whistling that same tune as in Kill Bill? lol!
Love this! Thank you for putting it together!
You are the best!
Merry Christmas! (anyway! 😉 )
Gigi says
December 24, 2009 at 9:45 amLove this concept. BTW, does the Tornado teach that technique to teens? It could be worth millions.
Crabby McSlacker says
December 24, 2009 at 10:25 amI’ve been watching the videos as they come in and they’re so fun!
It’s great to see the faces and hear the voices behind some of my favorite blogs, too.
Great idea!
Off to transform myself from Cranky Health Blogger to Cheerful Christmas Celebrator– will be back to Cranky by Dec 26.
Thanks again for a great talent show!
TB-Milwaukee says
December 24, 2009 at 10:27 amThis was a cool idea. Who wants to blog health this time of year anyway? There’s lots of talent in your Bumbling Band.
dragonmamma says
December 24, 2009 at 10:34 amNo fair…there’s no way the adults can possibly compete with the cuteness of toddlers. That was the most entertaining rendition of the alphabet song I’ve ever heard!
As for the adults…this is a truly dizzying display of amazingness. The goat impersonation had me totally cracking up.
Deb says
December 24, 2009 at 10:39 amNow I see why you call her the tornado!
Cammy@TippyToeDiet says
December 24, 2009 at 12:10 pmI’m in, sort of. 🙂 No time to even invent a talent, but I decided it was the spirit that counted: http://bit.ly/8Va8hn
I’m looking forward to checking out the madcap results of the more creative. Maybe tonight when it’s quiet again.
Tamzin says
December 24, 2009 at 12:17 pmI don’t often comment, but I did want to say thank you so much for hte gift that your blog is to me and to the rest of this community on the web. You really are fun, funny and inpirational!
Have a fabulous holiday!
Lori (Finding Radiance) says
December 24, 2009 at 12:19 pmLove it! She is a tornado – and you with the headstand. That truly is a talent!
Happy Holidays!
The Merry says
December 24, 2009 at 12:35 pmDang, you make that look so easy! That is true talent 🙂
charlotte says
December 24, 2009 at 3:54 pmA full lotus headstand WHILE whistling?? You are my hero:) My hero with loose hips! Thanks again for the idea – I had so much fun do my “talent” post that that in and of itself was one of the best gifts I’ve gotten this season! Thanks for doing what you do best: bringing people together!!
AJ says
December 24, 2009 at 4:33 pmI am uploading it now, but have to warn you, my grandparents internet conection is s l o w… so it may be Christmas before it makes it on the site. 😉
Thank you for all you do Miss Carla. I enjoy reading your blogs, following your tweets and your friendship the past year. I am blessed to have met you!
Fit Mommy says
December 24, 2009 at 5:10 pmNice Headstand!
Here is my silly little talent. http://bit.ly/58OQyf

Once again, you have found a way to inspire and entertain! Omg, my daughter & I watched every video and loved it. We then got to work brainstorming. Yea..last minute lusy here. We’ll be good & ready next year. What a fanfrickintabulous idea!!!! The tornado was a highlight, we have some lap runners in the family too. So funny.Thanks , as always. Nice way to bring the Miz community together.
Happy Happy!
Lyn says
December 25, 2009 at 1:31 amLOL, my daughter has the same talent as your daughter! Twinners!
Debra says
December 26, 2009 at 7:35 amGREAT IDEA!! I loved watching everyone’s talent. Maybe it should be an annual event?
Dee says
December 26, 2009 at 1:01 pmI am in South Carolina but wished I brought my flip video camera to do a crazy video!!! Have a Happy New Year!!!
Rebecca Regnier says
December 27, 2009 at 7:32 pmImagine me wiggling my ears. It’s freakish. Never been captured on video but that’s what I would have put up if I wasnt’ lame.
Happy New Year!
@laughitoff
Stephanie says
December 27, 2009 at 7:47 pmHa, love it! I’ve been practicing yoga for years and years but I still can’t do headstand unless I’m against the wall. Oh well…maybe someday.
BODA weight loss
Christieo says
December 28, 2009 at 7:29 pmok I posted my video of myself showing off my cookies in a poor attempt at possibly finding a talent along the way, but instead my dog attacked me. all on video for your viewing pleasure! i guess my talent is being an idiot! hahahahah
