Ike's Resolutions

I just read online that approx- imately 97% of people do not keep their New Year's resolutions. In church our Sunday School teacher encouraged us to only make one resolution this year and really stick to it rather than trying to change multiple habits at once.

To fly in his face, here is my list of resolutions for '08. Sadly, for some reason I don't think that by posting these here I'll be any more likely to keep them.

1. The old standby - get in better shape. I wonder if my treadmill still even works.
   
2. Read the Book of Mormon again. Pretty pathetic that the last time I read the BOM all the way through was 2 years ago when President Hinckley told me to.
   
3. Attend the temple more - this is a goal we committed to keep with our Bishop in tithing settlement.
   
4. Finish the basement - Actually funds won't probably allow a full finish this year, but I'd like to at least get a bathroom down there.
   
5. Start smoking. Just kidding. Sometimes even I don't think I'm funny.
   

That's enough, right? So next time you bump into me, please don't ask how these are going because the answer will probably be "Not good."
